Bug Fixes:

Toolbar: Curves: Flip Curve:

• The Flip Curve icon was slightly larger than the rest, causing a minor issue with switching between the Curve category and any other category. The Flip Curve icon has been resized to fit properly.

Older Files: Gumball/ViewPort Control Handles (VPCH): Move/Rotate:

• Some files from previous versions of MatrixGold were not populating the Move/Rotate VPCH. Those VPCH should now show in the Viewport where applicable.

Toolbar: Curves: Extrude Curve:

• The last release introduced a bug with Extrude Curve, which prevented it from working with open curves. This has been resolved, and Extrude Curve should work with open curves again.

Preferences: Status Bar:

• Status Bar preferences were saving but not populating correctly on launch. Now, those preferences should save and load correctly between sessions.
