What’s new

1.0.3 — October 2026

• Non-English Windows: fixes the Preview screen stopping with no Migrate or Back button (reported on German Windows).
• If a screen fails, it now says what went wrong and keeps a Back button, instead of stopping half-drawn.
• New copy log link at the bottom right, which puts the app’s log on the clipboard for a support ticket. See Licensing & support.

1.0.2 — October 2026

• Smaller download: leaves out interface libraries the app never used.
• The user guide now covers installing through the aescripts + aeplugins manager.

1.0.1 — October 2026

• macOS: fixes a crash on launch.

1.0.0 — October 2026

The first public release, on aescripts + aeplugins.

• One-pass migration of preferences, layouts, scripts, plugins, Asset Browser catalogs, node groups, custom nodes and the default scene. See What gets migrated.
• Finds your installs and pre-selects last year’s as the source and this year’s as the target.
• Skips C++ plugins on a major-version jump and lists them in the report for reinstalling; Python plugins and scripts are carried. See Plugins.
• External plugin folders are cloned to a folder for the new version, leaving the old version untouched.
• Paths inside your preferences are repointed at the new version’s folder.
• Layouts are merged, not just copied, across a major version: the new version’s changes to the built-in layout yours started from are added to your startup and saved layouts, and everything you changed stays. Your startup layout also comes across untouched, as Startup layout from <version>. See Preferences & layouts.
• Merges into folders the new version already has, backing up anything it replaces.
• Asks about Greyscalegorilla / Cargo, INSYDIUM and Redshift and plans around your answers.
• Links Team Render and command-line installs to the same plugins.
• Full preview before anything is written; HTML report afterwards.
• Snapshot before every migration, with one-click restore, revert and factory reset. See Safety & undo.
• Licensing: activate with an aescripts licence or a Gumroad key; a deactivate link at the bottom right for moving machines. The trial previews a migration but can’t run it.
• Fixed: the Items list ticked Greyscalegorilla and INSYDIUM even after you said no on their steps. Those two now show your answer, locked.

Beta builds — August and September 2026

Tester builds before 1.0. The September build fixed preferences, the startup layout and the default scene not arriving in a version that had already been launched, and node groups and custom nodes not migrating at all.
