Changes and improvements

• Parametric path modification. You can now modify paths on a control-point level using the new change path nodes (Modify path, Randomize path, Smooth path and Subdivide path).
• Clipping paths. Elements can now have a clip path applied to them, using the new Clipping mask node that takes in a path from another layer to use for clipping groups or individual elements.
• Relative generation indexes. Group and repeater indexes can now be accessed as a relative 0-1 range value (index/max) in the Value Index input node and via the new Value Index Function node, making indexes much more convenient to use for varying parameters.
• New auto-layout features. The new Layer info input node, and the new Align to other layer option in the Align node allow you to position and size things based on other layers to create automatic layout rules.
• Document parameter inputs. You can now add connection and use input nodes to set up automatic relationships between document parameters.
• Added Point on path input node, allowing you to get positions along a connected vector path shape layer.
• Added new Value Function input node, complementing the Value Expression input node as a way to set up complex relationships between parameters.
• Added new setting (default off) to allow selecting stroke-only shapes by clicking inside them, just like filled shapes.
• Made it easier to select small shapes and thin lines when zoomed out.
• Changed initial smooth control point spline handles to be different lengths when setting a sharp corner point to use angle-mirror smooth spline handles.
• Split input value node for value ranges now labels the two parameters min and max instead of the generic X and Y.
• You can now use PI and ? constants in expressions, not just lowercase pi.
• Exported rectangle paths are now represented as rect tags instead of path tags in SVG.
• Improved precision when adding new points on existing curve paths with freeform path tool.
• The Add node menu now has subcategories for Change Path and Change Stroke/Fill nodes to make the list a bit more manageable.
• Improved parameter translations when changing a node to another type, to carry over more overlapping settings.
• Improved contrast slightly of some UI elements like sockets and unit labels.
• Adjusted default settings for a lot nodes.

Bug fixes

• Fixed value field hover controls sometimes not closing automatically when moving cursor away.
• Fixed not being able to use pi constant in index value expressions.
• Fixed some negative relative color hue adjustments being applied as positive adjustments.
• Don’t allow making layer connections between groups and group member layers that would cause infinite loops.
• Fixed some index value calculations not working in duplicated layers with generation index calculations.
• Don’t allow value range +/- mirroring toggles for ranges that have restricted min/max values.
• Fixed warning / information overlay messages blocking mouse input while shown.
• Fixed incorrect values when updating inputs for expressions set to constant values without variables.
• Fixed some floating-point precision issues converting paths to/from control points.
• Fixed crash on importing some invalid SVG paths.
