 # Changelog
 
+
+5.0.1
+
+- fixed: Restored preference paths as dir path (now need `PATH_SUPPORTS_BLEND_RELATIVE` option)
+
+5.0.0
+
+- added: Update for blender 5+. With retro-compatibility
+
+4.2.0
+
+- added: Delete Grease pencil strokes or points view bound (selection outside of viewport region is untouched)
+  - No preset shortcut
+  <!-- - `grease_pencil.delete_points_view_bound` for points -->
+  <!-- - `grease_pencil.delete_strokes_view_bound` for strokes -->
+  - operator id_name: `grease_pencil.delete_view_bound`
+  - Added to Delete menu
+  - support multiframe
+  - Only do a dissolve (delete for full stroke)
+
+4.1.3
+
+- fixed: error in "remove stroke duplication" using file checker
+- added: `Remove Redundant GP Stroke` Operator (Not exposed, avaialbe in search with developer extras enabled). Allow to use directly without going using file checker
+
+4.1.2
+
+- fixed: Error in Draw cam overlay breaking after random undo step `Ctrl + Z`
+
+4.1.1
+
+- added: option in copy stroke world space to not bake move
+
+4.1.0
+
+- added: operator `list collection visibility conflicts` (not exposed, called from search menu with dev extras enabled in prefs)
+
+4.0.3
+
+changed: File checker doest not fix directly when clicked (also removed choice in preference):
+  - list potential change and display an `Apply Fix`
+changed: Enhanced visibility conflict list:
+  - also include viewlayer hide value
+  - allow to set all hide value from the state of one of the three
+- fixed: material move operator
+
 4.0.1
 
 - fixed: layer nav operator on page up/down
