2026-11-11 📥 Telegram Media Downloaderv2.30.1 Group chats and supergroups are monitored properly, including those without a @username (they used to show "Not found"); each file from a group is named after the member who sent it. Checks are now quick — only what is new plus the last 24 hours — and a Full check (right-click a contact) walks everything from the start date again. A diagnostic log with no private data replaces crash_log.txt: a local file that is never sent anywhere and can be switched off in Settings. The About window shows the build number. The first check of each contact after updating is a full one and takes longer. Version 2.30.1: bug fixes. 2026-11-10 🦿 EOV Rig Helperv0.1.3 What's new since 0.1.2. Centre of mass. The Center of Mass fold measures the character by its meshes and shows its centre of mass as a yellow ball, with a shadow on the ground in the colour of the support: green over the feet, red outside them, white in the air. Things in the hands pull the centre by their mass, and Drop lets go of them on the frame you pick. Draw Trail draws a live trail of the centre: a dot per frame, blue before the current frame and pink after, redrawn by itself after key edits; a jump is checked against real gravity. Several characters in one scene, each with its own centre. The Setup window keeps the body mass, the up axis, the ground height, the materials of things and presets. Centre of mass animation, as in Cascadeur. Select the pelvis and press Animate Center of Mass: magenta rings appear on the centre of mass. Move and turn them, key them, and the whole character follows, turning about its centre of mass. A live trajectory of the centre redraws after every key, and its points can be dragged with the mouse. To Pelvis bakes the motion into the pelvis keys with any rigs on the character, Discard removes the rings without baking. A ballistic curve for jumps, as in Cascadeur. Pick the jump's frames and press Ballistic Curve: take-off, top and landing. Snap puts the centre of mass on the curve on every frame of the flight. Drag the top and the jump goes higher or lower; move the landing and the animation after the jump goes with it, no foot sliding. The curve shows its own gravity, Real g makes it real. Manual and lesson. New step-by-step sections, "Center of mass animation" and "Ballistic curve": what to select, what to press, what you get, with screenshots and diagrams. Window screenshots are now shown at their real size. A video lesson, "Center of mass", in English and Russian. Checked in Maya 2019, 2022 and 2025. 2026-11-10 ⚙️ Free Motion Trailv2.0.0 EOV Motion Trail 2.0.0 - the updated Free Motion Trail. The 1.4 public beta grew up inside eov animation tools and comes here on its own, for everyone who downloaded the beta: open code, one install for every Maya 2019-2026 by drag-and-drop, no per-version compiled files; the installer clears the beta away: its files go to a backup folder, its shelf buttons become the new one, scenes with beta trails open with the new plugin; many fixes: animation layers (weights, Override), a fresh Maya without the plugin loaded, Set Range one frame too long, menus on a second monitor, a new trail inheriting an old one's cache; Trail On / Off in one command and on a hotkey, a menu that stays open, a settings window for your own style; manual in English and Russian. 2026-11-10 ⚙️ RoadMapperv2.5.3 New since 2.5.1: Hand routine work to an AI agent: it checks the project out, adds tasks, sets assignees, dates, descriptions, Jira links, statuses and cells right in the open window Every edit of the agent shows up at once; Ctrl+Z undoes its whole batch; check-in and deleting only on your direct command A ready skill in the archive (AI_Agent_Skill) for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and similar agents Windows remember their size and place: the main window, Team Load, the project calculator, the activity log, track history New manual section on AI agents, with installation for each agent The file format has not changed: colleagues on 2.5.1 keep working with the same projects
