Builtin documentation [Jowan-Spooner]
- Added a button to open the documentation from the nav bar
The plugin has now Editor-translation support and some labels are translated to Chinese [magian1127]
- Added some initial Spanish translations
Replaced the default /addons/dialogic/Dialog.tscn node with a proxy that creates a dialog using the Dialogic.start function instead of the raw node. This will make it easier to update from version to version since the instantiated node will not be changing a lot from version to version. This also moved and renamed the previous /addons/dialogic/Dialog.tscn to /addons/dialogic/Nodes/DialogNode.tscn and the dialog_node.gd is now called DialogNode.gd to be more in line with the rest of the project
CanvasLayer Argument (Dialogic.start()) added to the CSharp Class
Creating new resources will automatically start the renaming of it
New plugin icon! It should now display at its proper scale depending on your rendering scale

A modular Custom events implementation [Jowan-Spooner]. Learn about them [here](./Events/Custom Events/CreateCustomEvents.md).
Added a preview image on the portrait picker, so it is easy to know what sprite or scene you are selecting. Thanks to EmmaH for the idea and Jowan-Spooner for the implementation
Added Voice Line support for Text and Question Events [RedXGames]. Learn how to use it here.
- Added option to use a certain region of the audio files [KvaGram]
Partial support for undo and redo [Jowan-Spooner]
Better light/custom theme support for the timeline editor [Jowan-Spooner]
- Changed the Selected Event Style to only have blue borders and not change event color [Jowan-Spooner]
Adding an extra space at the end of the timelines so it is easier to drag and drop new events
After selecting a conditional, the input field of that event will be selected
Updated UI of the AudioPickers [Jowan-Spooner]
Automatically scrolling to newly created events when you click on a create event button [Jowan-Spooner]
If no characters are present in the current project the character picker is hidden and a prompt was added in the Character join and Character leave events to create one [zaknafean]
Copy Timeline Name will now return the full path to that timeline

Updated Audio Settings [Tim Krief]:
- you can now select audio for typing, text completed, next event, button hover and button selecting
- Attention: Old typing audio will have to be redone!
You can now set the position of the buttons relative to the screen (Top, Bottom, Center, Left, Right)
You can now set the choice buttons to be aligned horizontally or vertically
More range for dialog text speed [zaknafean]
A default theme is created on new projects [zaknafean]

ATTENTION: Rework and improvement of the saving system.
This includes some breaking changes. Learn all about the new system and how to transition here.
- A visual novel template with a working menu is being made. You can find it here.
Dialogic.start() will now use paths for specific timelines. A fallback is in place, but specificity is preferred. For instance: Dialogic.start('my-timeline') will search any timeline with that name; Dialogic.start('/chapter-1/my-timeline') will open the timeline namde my-timeline inside the folder chapter-1.
If the text is too big for your dialog and you see a scrolling bar, you can use the up and down keys to scroll [Jowan-Spooner]
Rework of the character name coloring (using Regex now) [Jowan-Spooner]
- Regex name compiler now properly escapes special characters [zaknafean]

Removing requirement to manually configure resource export (No need to add .cfg, .json to your export settings anymore) [LuRomao]

Renamed the plugin entry point script from dialogic.gd to plugin.gd so it better describes what that file does
Removed the need to use a DialogicSingleton. This causes some slight changes to saving and loading. Learn all about the new system and how to transition here.
Deleted some legacy documentation files
Adding a warning if you are trying to set or get a variable that wasn't defined

Changed the default cursor shape that was weird in MacOS
Dialogs only start typing after the fade-in animation happened
Fixed a bug that performed the fade-in animation before setting the proper theme
Fixed a bug that prevented to use the global input setting when selecting option buttons
