v1.2.3

• Fix a crash when importing certain VMD files. 50e37f4

v1.2.2

• vmd: Show a proper error message for invalid frame range settings.

v1.2.1

• alembic: Fix UE5 crash when using export mode 1
• alembic: Fix export mode 1 & 2 not setting material slots correctly
• alembic: Show error message if failed to write abc file
• alembic: Add description for export mode 3
• alembic: Use .data() instead of .front() to avoid undefined behavior on empty vectors

v1.2.0

• Fix broken mesh in Alembic export mode 1
• Add configurable Alembic export scale factor (default 0.08)
• Fix potential vertex index calculation issues
• Remove deprecated mmdbridge_alembic_for_maya.py
• Improve documentation and code quality

v1.1.2

• Fix VMD export mode 1: properly remove rotation grant effects for PMD models.

v1.1.1

• Fixed an issue where VMD export mode 1 did not correctly remove bone morph influences from the animation.
• Fixed a potential startup issue or instability by deferring window hooking until MMD main menu is initialized.

v1.1.0

• MMDBridge can now correctly export at high FPS such as 60 or 120. The AVI export FPS does not need to match MMDBridge’s FPS setting, allowing you to bake high-FPS exports into lower-FPS data.
• MMDBridge can now fix more garbled text in MMD on non-Japanese Windows systems.
• Improved VMD export performance.
• The VMD export summary message now shows the elapsed time.
• Message boxes now appear in the foreground.
• Fixed Alembic re-exports accumulating meshes from previous exports.
• Tweaked the plugin settings panel.
• Improved hook stability.
• Other bug fixes and robustness improvements.

v1.0.1

v1.0.1 - VMD Export Bone Name Validation

This is a patch release that focuses on improving the stability of VMD exports and enhancing the overall code quality.

🔧 Fixes & Improvements

• Added Bone Name Validation for VMD Export: The exporter now checks for invalid bone names (e.g., non-CP932 compliant, or exceeding 15 bytes) before exporting. If an issue is found, a user-friendly error message is displayed to guide the user in fixing the model data. This prevents the creation of corrupted or unusable .vmd files.

⚙️ Other Changes

• Code Refactoring: Implemented significant code refactoring across the application to improve maintainability, stability, and structure. This includes simplifying internal hooks and enforcing UTF-16LE for configuration files.
• Documentation: The project documentation has been improved and restructured for better clarity.

v1.0.0

v1.0.0 - Internationalization & Performance Update

This is a major update for MMDBridge. This release introduces significant performance improvements, comprehensive internationalization support, and a wide range of bug fixes, stability enhancements, and many other minor improvements.

🚀 Features & Enhancements

• Settings Persistence: User configurations are now saved to an .ini file. This means your settings are remembered across sessions without needing to be reconfigured each time.
• Internationalization Support: Added localization support, enabling easier translation and adaptation for different languages.
• Chinese Language Support: The distribution now includes localized MMD executables for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
• Advanced VMD Export: New advanced settings have been added for VMD exporting, giving users more control.
• Version Info: A "Version Info" menu item has been added for easier version tracking.
• UI Improvements: The settings dialog has been tweaked for a better user experience, and the "実行する" option was changed to a checkbox.

⚡️ Performance Improvements

• Reduced CPU Usage: Replaced inefficient EnumWindows polling with a more efficient, event-driven hook for window detection.
• Optimized Lookups: Refactored map lookups to avoid redundant searches, improving overall performance.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

• Unicode & Text Encoding:
  • Fixed garbled text on non-Japanese systems by hooking ANSI WinAPI calls to handle different language encodings correctly.
  • Resolved issues with Unicode file paths for PMD model loading, VMD motion saving, and Alembic (HDF5) exports.
  • Explicitly converted WinAPI calls to their Unicode versions for better compatibility.
• Memory Management:
  • Fixed several memory and resource leaks, including DLL handle leaks and a memory leak in RenderedMaterial.
  • Replaced raw pointers with smart pointers in many areas to improve memory safety.
• Export & File Handling:
  • Made the export lifecycle more robust to prevent issues from interruption or restarts.
  • Fixed a bug that could occur when importing duplicate models into MMD.
  • Improved thread-safety for functions that handle resource paths and textures.

🔧 Code Quality & Refactoring

• Centralized package assets and script loading logic.
• Cleaned up unused code, updated comments, and formatted code using Ruff and clang-format.
