Fixed a potential crash when enabling/disabling lights
Fixed an issue where creating a surface (material face group) on a mesh would not update all shapes that share the same mesh
- This manifested as discrete polygons not being drawn in viewport for an object that shares its geometry with another object and the “Geometry Editor” tool was used to assign selected polygons to a new surface, which lead to a crash when an affected object was selected to inspect its surfaces

Implemented (a subset of) the CommonJS Module framework in the context of DzScript
- Lifetime of imported modules is limited to that of the executing script
- Scripts are now executed in the following wrapper:
- ```
(function(exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname[, ...]){
    // script code placed here
});
```
  […] = script specific transient objects/functions
- require() supports absolute paths
- require() supports the /, ./ and ../ relative path specifiers
  - Relative path specifiers are resolved, first match, in the following sequence:
    - DzApp::getAppDataPath() + “/scripts”
    - DzApp::getProgramDataAppPath() + “/scripts”
    - DzApp::getHomePath() + “/scripts”
    - Mapped content directories (standard order)
- require() supports file extension omission to invoke automatic script extension fallback (sequence: *.dsa, *.dsb, *.dse)
- require() supports the *.dsa, *.dsb, *.dse, and *.js file extensions
  - Encrypted source is supported via *.dse
- ECMAScript (ES) Modules are supported via Global::importModule()
  - Lifetime of imported modules coincide with the lifetime of the script engine (application)
  - Multiple imports of the same file will load the module only once
  - Requires absolute paths
  - Requires the *.mjs file extension
  - Encrypted source is not supported

Saving a Scene/Preset now uses the active DrawStyle of the active viewport to generate a thumbnail/tip image, instead of always using Texture Shaded
- Preference configuration for whether/when to generate a thumbnail/tip image is respected
- Texture Shaded is still used when the NVIDIA Iray DrawStyle is active
- When a DrawStyle that does not cause textures to be displayed is active, there is no longer the penalty of waiting for loading/conversion of textures in order to generate a thumbnail/tip image

Global::include() now attempts to replicate the result of its use in 4.x builds, rather than the manner in which 4.x results were achieved
- Global::include() is and will remain deprecated
  - This change is an attempt to ease transition, not perpetuate use
  - include() statements should not be used in new code
  - Transition to require(), and the CommonJS module framework, is recommended - see 6.25.2025.17207
- include() statements must be fairly simple to parse
  - e.g., var bSuccess = include( “relative/path/to/filename” );
  - e.g., include( App.getSomePath() + “/relative/path/to/filename” );
  - e.g., include( App.getSomePath() + “/relative/path/to/filename” );//trailing comment
  - e.g., include( String( “%1/relative/path/to/filename” ).arg( App.getSomePath() ) );
  - e.g., include( “absolute/path/to/filename” );
- include() statements should exist early in the script
  - A script may be executed multiple times as it is evaluated to resolve include() statements and replace them with the contents of their respective files
  - Failure to call include() early in a script may result in the work preceding the call(s) being performed as many times as there are statements encountered, hierarchically
- include() statements should only be called within the global scope of the script - as documented
- While now functional, this approach is very inefficient (albeit necessary to yield the desired result) - performance may suffer
- Effectively assuming the behavior of an inline function, Global functions called in scripts that are included operate in the scope of the top-most script
Updated scripting API documentation; Global
Use of deprecated Global functions in scripts are now logged

DzPickTool derived view tools now delay processing of mouse over/move events for the purposes of drawing until 0.1 second (100 msec) after cursor movement stops/pauses

Added a Display > Scene View > Node Color property to all nodes
- When set to a non-black (0, 0, 0) value on a bone, the value of this property overrides the Display > Scene View > Node Color property on the associated skeleton, causing the bone to be drawn in the color chosen when the Display > Scene View > Bones > Show Bones property on the skeleton is active
The Node Color property on a DzSkeleton is no longer dynamically hidden based on the state of the “Show Bones” property
Added support to the “Node Weight Brush” tool for full figure weight display based on Node Color
- Provides a blended view of all normalized weight maps associated with the bones of a figure
- Requires a bone with a weight map to be selected (so that a weight map can be selected in the “Tool Settings” pane)
- Requires a weight map to be selected in the “Tool Settings” pane
- Supports the “Draw Weighted Vertices” and “Draw Weighted Surface” modes for Weight Display
- Supports the “Base” and “High Resolution” options of the General > Mesh Resolution > Resolution Level property
  - Supports the “Catmark”, “Bilinear”, and “Loop” options of the General > Mesh Resolution > SubDivision Algorithm property when the Resolution Level is set to “High Resolution” and the “Draw Weighted Surface” mode for Weight Display is active
  - Supports all options of the General > Mesh Resolution > SubDivision Algorithm property when the Resolution Level is set to “High Resolution” and the “Draw Weighted Vertices” mode for Weight Display is active

Missing inline help is now reported in the tooltip for the Camera Cube and Pose Tool
When the Display > Scene View > Node Color property on a bone is set to a non-black (0, 0, 0) value, this value is used as the node color for descendant bones until/unless a bone with a non-black (0, 0, 0) value is encountered
Loading of previously saved files that contain a reference to a Bone Color property on the root node of a figure now automatically translate its settings to the Node Color property
The “Geometry Sculptor” tool now derives from DzWeightMapBrushTool
- Drawing of selection weights is now consistent with weight drawing of other DzWeightMapBrushTool derived tools - e.g., “Node Weight Map Brush” tool
Selection/Deformation in the “Geometry Sculptor” tool is now selection mode (Polygon Selection, Edge Selection, Vertex Selection) specific
Selection conversion between selection modes (Polygon Selection, Edge Selection, Vertex Selection) in the “Geometry Sculptor” tool is no longer automatic
- Support for the “Automatically Convert Selection” action from “Geometry Editor” and “Node Weight Map Brush” is pending
Disabled selection/weight visibility for interactive modes (Sculpting Brush, Smoothing Brush) in the “Geometry Sculptor” tool - until display of selection/weight in these modes have a contextual meaning

Fixed a styling issue in the “Scene” pane “Outline” page that could cause a break to appear between the “Visible” and “Node” columns
Added a “Node Color” (C) column to the tree view in the “Scene” pane “Outline” page
- Provides a means of classifying/grouping nodes in the scene by color
- Clicking a color swatch prompts for a color to assign to the “Node Color” property
- Holding [Ctrl/Cmd] while clicking applies the selected color recursively to each “Node Color” property of each decedent node
- Holding [Alt] while clicking resets the “Node Color” property
- Holding [Ctrl/Cmd] + [Alt] while clicking resets the “Node Color” property, and recursively each “Node Color” property of each decedent node

- Manifested as the dialog for the “Symmetry…” action, which is bound to [Shift + Y] by default, not displaying when a figure was selected in the viewport - the symmetry script does execute, but due to changes in the base class used for viewports, the mechanism used by the script to differentiate between the [Shift] key being pressed as part of a shortcut and the [Shift] key being pressed to invoke preferred settings mode (without displaying the dialog) was causing the preferred settings mode to be invoked

- Merged DzPGESymmetryZAxisAction and DzNodeWeightBrushSymmetryZAxisAction into DzFacetSelSymmetryZAxisAction (“Z Axis Symmetry”)
  - DzPGESymmetryZAxisAction and DzNodeWeightBrushSymmetryZAxisAction are now aliases for DzFacetSelSymmetryZAxisAction
- Allows a single shortcut, for each merged set, to be assigned for any (current or future) tool that derives from DzGeometrySelectionTool - e.g., “Node Weight Brush”, “Geometry Editor”, “Geometry Sculptor”
- Each tool is responsible for maintaining its respective option state, action states (e.g., enabled, checked) are automatically updated from tool state when the active tool changes
Setting symmetry option state via DzGeometrySelectionTool API (e.g., “Node Weight Brush”, “Geometry Editor”, “Geometry Sculptor”) is now properly reflected in corresponding UI options on the “Tool Settings” pane for the “Node Weight Brush”, “Geometry Editor”, “Geometry Sculptor” tools
“Geometry Sculptor” tool symmetry behaviors, for geometry selection tool modes (i.e., “Polygon Selection”, “Edge Selection”, “Vertex Selection”), are now consistent with other DzGeometrySelectionTool derived tools (e.g., “Node Weight Brush”, “Geometry Editor”)
- Geometry selection may occur when the geometry selection modes are active
  - No longer limited to “Vertex Selection” mode
- Geometry selection may occur on either side of the active axis
  - No longer limited to the negative side of the axis
