Bforartists 2.6.0 brings the fixes and changes from Blender 2.91. And it brings the first changes from the current development cycle of Bforartists. As usual it is not one big change. But includes lots of small changes like left aligned props now also in the panels that are C code based, better defaults, improved tooltips, panel layouts and organizations, and so on. Properties that shows hidden content have for example now a little triangle button besides. The content of panels is indent to improve readability and organization. Some changes at the keymap. F2 is now search. And some fixes. This release brings all in all over 200 changes.
