Bforartists 2.4.0
Fixes from Blender 2.83.3 LTS, on a new versioning base.
Blender 2.83.3

Convert rotation mode for animation
Convert keyframes between rotation modes with Ctrl R.
Geometry Nodes for volumes and curves
Rasterize Points, Poisson Solver and Construct Curves.
EEVEE lighting nodes and panoramic cameras
Toon shading and lighting effects, plus equirectangular, fisheye and mirror ball cameras.
Compositor effects stack and Bundle nodes
Effects organised as a stack, with grouped data handling.
Smarter scene strips
Scene strips update their length on their own, and many datablocks drop straight onto the timeline.
OpenTimelineIO
Import and export edits to and from other editing software.
Ripple editing in the Sequencer
Ripple, Shuffle and Overwrite overlap modes (R, S, V), Ripple Trim and Ripple Delete.
Comment node
Annotate node trees, with Markdown formatting.
Custom Outliner sorting
Arrange objects anywhere in the Outliner.
Sidebar Search
Find any property or operator in any editor's sidebar, add-on tabs included.
Easier extensions
Legacy pre-downloaded extensions install and uninstall in fewer clicks, and the Asset Libraries filter has an icon.
Clearer themes
Node highlights stand out more, and curve handle colours are easier to read.
Cleaner menus
Double entries are gone (Import FBX, Link to Scene, Snap, Implicit Conversion). Pose and Weight Paint get Show/Hide submenus, and tool shelves follow the Add menu order.
30+ new node icons
New Geometry Nodes, Shader light nodes and Compositor nodes get icons and tool shelf entries: Comment, XPBD Solver, Construct Curves, Rasterize Points, Grid Solve Poisson, Combine List and the Bundle nodes.
Ripple Delete, lasso select and tidy footers
- Ripple Delete closes the gap when a strip goes.
- Lasso select uses the same hotkeys as the other editors.
- Keyframing tools sit together in the Timeline footers, with matching frame range icons.
Edit scene strips right in the Dopesheet
Scene strips get gizmos in the Dopesheet: drag their edges to change the frame range, without opening the Sequencer.
Roll the view from the navigation gizmo
Drag left or right on the navigation gizmo to roll the view. An angle readout follows the drag, so a tilt is easy to undo.
Roll buttons and a hotkey sit in the 3D View sidebar too.

Hello Friends,
There is a new Blender version available. And so there is also a new version from us. Bforartists Version 2.4.0
Bforartists 2.4.0 is a bug fix and maintenance release. It brings the fixes from Blender 2.83.3 LTS. And some minimal corrections and fixes that we have found at our way through the missing manual chapters and creating the quickstart tutorial videos. Our current main focus is to finish the manual. Bforartists 2.4.0 is now based on Blender 2.91 Alpha. Which is a switch in the Blender versioning number. And so you need to migrate your settings.
We have currently problems to compile the Linux versions in all its flavours. So for now we can just offer a zipped developer version. Compiled at Ubuntu 20.04. It is compiled with static libraries, so it should work at other linux versions.
The usual thanks goes to the team and everybody involved. Have fun with the new version - Reiner
