TVPaint Animation 12.0.1 is available!

[Thierry]

Hello there!
New major version, new topic for the changelogs!

The first TVPaint Animation 12 update is here, and mostly is a bugfix update.
Thank you for all your feedback, most of what has been reported is fixed in this version.

There are a few things that are not present, such as the random crashes on macOS, for which we may have a solution, but requires some testing.
Once we can confirm that the fix is working, we'll work towards releasing v12.0.2. We also plan on releasing the fix for TVPaint Animation 11 (so v11.7.4) as well, for everyone still using it. Linux version may also come out with v12.0.2 but no guarantee.

[*]Flipping stylus should now return to the current tool.[/list]

Flipping stylus is not working for me. In Preferences > Drawing I have it set to "The pen eraser is a freehand eraser". I draw a stroke with the pen end of the stylus , then flip over the stylus to the eraser end to erase , but the eraser end acts as a pen , drawing strokes, not erasing. In 11.7.3 it works as expected , but not in 12.0.1 .

I wasn't around for major version changes before so maybe it's not common practice, but was there was a changelog for the original v12 release with not just the new major features, but a more comprehensive list of changes? If not can we expect one on the documentation page at some point(i realize it still the doc WIP and not trying to rush, but just asking ) Thanks!
