Changelog

1.1.1 - September 22, 2026

This update improves rig compatibility and stability when switching between AutoPose and Manual Pose.

Version display: The installed add-on version now appears beside the Blaze AutoPose name at the top of the panel.

Fixed normal rig controls not working correctly after switching to Manual Pose. Temporary changes to rig locks, drivers, and constraints are now restored when leaving AutoPose.
Improved restoration of rig settings when saving, reopening, or recovering a scene.
Fixed crashes and unexpected pose changes during Undo/Redo while AutoPose is active.

See Updating Blaze AutoPose for extension repository and manual installation instructions. Restart Blender after updating.

This update brings more stable posing, support for linked characters, and fixes based on your feedback.

Linked character support: Pose, keyframe, and record linked characters using Blender’s library overrides, with separate AutoPose setups for each character instance.
Manual Pose FK option: Choose whether switching to Manual Pose transfers your AutoPose result to the rig’s FK controls or keeps its existing pose.
Linux compatibility: Added support for Linux Blender builds that use Python 3.14, including Arch Linux.

Improved retargeting for more accurate arm and leg placement, better stability near full reach, and more consistent wrist and foot orientation.
Reduced jumps between consecutive drags and fixed sudden jumps caused by competing constraints near full reach.
Improved preservation of your pose and unkeyed edits during character selection, reconstruction, and AutoPose startup or reopening. Reconstruction also keeps your timeline position.
Fixed issues with resetting constraint locations and rotations, including resets with multiple constraints selected.
Drags that exceed the active constraint limit are now blocked with a message explaining how to continue.
AutoPose now stops automatically when you leave Pose Mode.
Fixed input handling across multiple viewports and Blender windows.
Improved stability when retiming, duplicating, and deleting keyframes while AutoPose is active. Deleted keys no longer return when switching modes.
Fixed undo/redo after baking recorded AutoPose movements.
Added a warning when changes to a linked character’s rig require reconstruction.
Fixed extension installation incorrectly reporting an unsupported operating system.
