Synfig Studio packages update

Luckily, this isn’t the case anymore. The new Synfig Studio is smart enough to properly link tangents. This change deprecates concept of the “tangent color” for the user, as well as the Sewing Blines tutorial.

Next improvement is about allowing/forbidding animation for parameter. You can mark any parameter as not accepting the animation – static. That means that there’s no waypoints will be produced for them, even when you are in animation mode! No more tedious  jumping back and forth animation mode, when you want to change a parameter that supposed to be static during your animation. Some of the Parameters (like “Chilren Lock”) are already have this option enabled.

And finally, one more great change is new option for default blend method.  Default blend method is controlled by the drop-down list in the toolbox. It defines the blend method for newly created layers and usually it’s set to “Composite” which is perfectly ok for most layer types. But some layers in Synfig Studio are intended to operate in the particular blend method, which is different from “Composite”.  Now it is possible to set the “Default blend method” option on the toolbox to “By Layer Default” and forget about the changing the blend method everytime when you creating layers like “Blur” or “Shade”. I guess this improvement is a step to completely eliminate default blend method from the toolbox and let each layer to define its blend method.
