added a number of toggles to configure the output of more detailed point infos (manual tracking controls->view->configure point infos)
python scripts within a menu are now being sorted automatically according to their labels
added script "Reel in Points" which allows to create backprojected 2D tracking curves (motion tracking controls->edit)
added a full export script for Softimage XSI which allows to export all of 3DE's data (creates vb scripts)
further bug fixes and improvements for 3DE4's calculation core
r1a3
added a function that allows to restore all shortcuts to their initial default state
improved performance of the deviation browser (massive amount of point curves)
added functionality for displaying point weight curves (deviation browser)
by default disabled automatic point weighting for manually created points
fixed a bug which caused 3DE4 to calculate wrong point deviation curves
fixed a bug within 3DE4's autotracking routine (wasting memory on projects containing a large number of frames)
enabled partial image buffer decompression (better performance for tracking & playback, when zoomed in)
fixed a bug which caused the object browser to randomly select multiple objects on double clicking a single entry
improved performance of autotracking routine
added frame range calculation feature
fixed a bug which caused 3DE4 to crash in some rare situations (distortion edit controls, snap function)
fixed a bug in python script "Export 2D Tracks" which prevented 3DE4 from exporting anything at all (v1.1)
tracking direction status is now being displayed in object browser (point objects)
filewidget objects (python interface) automatically add file extension, if parameter "filter_pattern" is not equal to "*"
added exporting of scene node transformations to maya export script (v1.1)
fixed a bug which caused 3DE4 to lose all filtered rot/pos curves (curve editor, rare)
fixed a bug which caused 3DE4 to hang after an adjustment procedure
postfilter feature added
added a python script for applying the postfilter to the current point group only (curve editor->calc->3d rot/pos curves)
