Add optional object target for constant cursor follow

4.0.2

changed: File checker doest not fix directly when clicked:
  - 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

 # Changelog
 
+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
+
+4.0.0
+
+- changed: version for Blender 4.3 - Breaking retrocompatibility with previous.
+
 3.3.0
 
 - added: `Move Material To Layer` has now option to copy instead of moving in pop-up menu.
