Added experimental "Sprite-Based" option when creating a new object or character in the Voxel Editor (models are entirely sprite-based, images are assigned from the Model Properties tab)
Added the ability to assign sound effects per animation frame in the Voxel Editor that will play when the frame is shown (configurable from the sound icon button on the animation toolbar)

Changes

Updated the default skill bar to now contain five skill slots instead of the previous three (if desired, the default skill bar can now be overridden with a custom widget)
Updated skill functionality for tactical-turn based combat so the skill bar will show for a party member during their turn if enabled, otherwise the "Use Skill" control will be displayed in the bottom right corner
Updated skill bar functionality so that a skill slot's cooldown is now properly set when a skill is manually triggered from a script via the "Use Skill" scripting function
Updated skills so they are now automatically added to first open slot on the character's skill bar when given via "Give Skill", or removed from the skill bar when the skill is removed via "Remove Skill"
Updated some behind the scenes functionality for the skill bar and quick slot bar so that unique instances are now maintained per character (should generally be more reliable when switching between characters)
Updated projectile functionality in the grid-based movement system so they will no longer lock onto their target and can now be dodged
Updated "On Hit Script" functionality for ranged weapons to now also trigger when hitting tiles, objects, and non-attackable characters (in addition to attackable characters)
Updated free attacking functionality (default of left mouse button in free movement and Ctrl key in grid movement) so that the character will no longer play their attack animation if their weapon uses ammo and they have none
Updated collision logic in free movement to have a slight cooldown when colliding with impassable objects and characters in order to prevent rapid continual triggering of any assigned collision scripts (customization around this to come in a future release)
Updated jump vertical velocity setting to allow a higher precision for its value (can now be defined up to the hundredths place, set from Game Configuration -> Settings -> Gameplay -> Physics -> Jumping -> Vertical Velocity)
Updated Map Editor's "Background Type" functionality so that each option's settings are maintained when switching between procedural sky and panorama sky

Updated X/Y/Z offset properties for attach points in the Voxel Editor to allow more precision (values can now be defined up to the hundredths place)
Updated scale settings for entities and attach points to allow more precision (values can now be defined up to the hundredths place)
Updated attach point functionality so that objects being attached to other models no longer need any attach points defined (if none exist, it will default to position (0, 0, 0))
Increased maximum scale limit for models and attach points to 4 from the previous limit of 2
Updated collision functionality for empty objects and characters (i.e. no voxels) so that collision boxes will now be created in free movement if custom collision shapes are defined for the model
Updated some logic for empty models (i.e. no voxels) so that they no longer need to be removed and replaced on maps for certain model properties to be carried over
Updated choice functionality in the dialogue system to support shortcut keys 6 through 9 (in addition to the existing 1 through 5) to select the corresponding option when the player is presented with choices
Updated "Execute Script" scripting function to pass any local variables defined in the current script to the script being called even when not pausing (i.e. running in parallel)
Updated "Play Animation" scripting function to include an optional third parameter to indicate whether or not it should attempt to resume the animation, e.g. when previously stopped via the "Stop Animation" function (defaults to false)
Updated "Play Group Animation" scripting function to include an optional third parameter to indicate whether or not it should attempt to resume the animation, e.g. when previously stopped via the "Stop Animation" function (defaults to false)
Updated "Add Effect" scripting function to return the newly added effect so it can be referenced later without needing an entity ID (similar to "Add Character", "Add Tile", etc.)

Updated "Set Entity Light Attenuation", "Set Entity Light Diameter", and "Set Entity Light Intensity" scripting functions to allow variables for the optional duration parameter instead of requiring a literal numeric value
Updated "Move Character" script node so that the optional "pause" parameter can be specified via checkbox when creating a script visually in the Script Editor
Increased maximum dimensions for particle size in the Effect Editor to 100x100x100 for the cube shape and 100x100 for the sphere and billboard shapes

Removed "Free Movement" icon from the "Attack" action on the "Available Actions" dialog shown when changing input bindings as it's no longer limited to free movement

Updated "Give Skill", "Remove Skill", and "Use Skill" scripting functions in the Script Editor to use the new spell-themed icons instead of the old "jump" icons
Increased the maximum number of recent items for the editor to 100 (i.e. files shown on the "Recent" tab next to "Favorites", as well as in the "Recent" section that's shown when no files are opened in an editor)
Changed label text for the "Object Model (Character)" setting in the Item Editor to "Object Model (Standard)" to better represent what the model is used for

I enjoy these updated to the free movement system, however the updates has played with a current project I'm working on. I've tried reading through the entire changelog however no matter what, when using the free movement system, the sprites no longer turn around when I'm using WASD, is this a coding error on my end or a new bug?
