IKFK Solver Update news:

(v1.04, 28 May 2010):
- Fixed "All tracks become active" bug when selecting keyframes in curve editor.

(v1.03, 14 May 2010):
- IKFKBlend, SwivelAngle, ScaleMultiplier and IKStretch controller reading/assigning is now accessible through maxscript.
- "SwiveAngle" maxscript property is now called "SwivelAngle".

(v1.02, 08 Apr 2010):
- Optimized calculation when one of the nodes of the solver displays the trajectory.

(v1.01, 07 Apr 2010):

Fixes:

- Now the pivot target of animatable constraint can be implemented within the solver without matching and inheritance problems.
- Fixed issue with selection of shared keys when the "show all nodes keys" feature is on.
- Fixed Problems when reloading xref if all the nodes are not completly xrefed.
- Fixed Problem when canceling cloning if the goal parent nodes are cloned as well.
- Fixed problem that happens when undo several times with adding or removing goal parent operations.

Changes & improvements:

- Goal parent matching and shifting mode when rotating has been disabled.
- Now the maxscript createikfk function return the ikgoal node.

(v1.00, 17 Mar 2010):

Fixes:

- issue whit creating the solver with nodes that are not aligned in the x axis as the bones are.
- if target is linked to a goal parent the target match doesnt work well.
- the Swivel angel doesnt become available when removing target.
- Issues with clonning operations.
- when no target and moving in ik it doesnt undo (if targetswivel match is done before ikmatch).
- issues with controllers assigment undoing (controllers still displays).
- issue that happens assigning the goal parent when it's selected and undoing + redoing.
- issue undoing after cloning or canceling cloning.
- issues with nodes aligment.
- issues with scene reseting.
- Problem that happens when command panel in link info and a solver node is selected .
- issue assigning target when ik is not matched.
- issue when merging nodes that are part of the solver if they are not all merged.
- Problem reloading xref.
- Problem when scene xref.

Improvements:

- the solver its calculated within the nodes and parameters validity.
- now the solver has an option to show the keyframes of all nodes in every node (Show all nodes keys).

(23 feb 2010):
- Fixed and improved Target and Swivel Match behaviour.
- The main and second preferred rotations are now matched when pressing IK or FK buttons.
- Now the swivel angle is matched when linking main FK node and removing IK Target.
- Some Maxscript properties names has been changed: FKSubControl, IKSubControl, IKFKBlend, SwiveAngle, ScaleMultiplier, IKStretch.

(18 feb 2010):
- Now the solver can be scaled without causing problems.

(17 feb 2010):
- Fixed issue when the goal parent hierarchy only has one goal parent node.
- All the parameters and options has been exposed to maxscript.
- The Target Node can be linked to any Goal Parent and viceversa, staying functional.

(16 feb 2010):
- Values are now set to default when creating the solver.
- There is now an option to disable Main and secondary preferred rotation match.
- There are now maxscripts functions to retrieve nodes that are part of the solver.
- Fixed Problems related to deleting, changing or removing goal parent nodes.
- Fixed problems with ik matching.
- Constraints now work on nodes that are part of the solver.
- Fixed problems related with changing the hierarchy of the nodes that are part of the solver.
- Fixed problems related with modifying keyframes in nodes that are part of the Goal Parent Hierarchy.
- Swivel Match is now more accurate.

(25 jan 2010):
- Fixed Goal Parent Behaviour.
- Fixed Problem when creating solver after setting a goal parent.
- Fixed max 2009 version not working in some machines.

(19 jan 2010):
- Fixed max 2010 version not working in some machines.

(17 jan 2010):
- Fixed Crash when linking nodes within the solver.
- Fixed Problem when the solver is created with the limbs straight or near to straight.
- Fixed target and goal parent UI displays when those are removed.
- Fixed orientation of the hierarchy when a target node is added.
- Fixed Lack of matching when swivel angle is modified in FK mode.

(14 jan 2010):
- Fixed a problem with the swivel orientation when the solver is created due to preferred rotations.
