Release Notes 3.14.0 đź”—

We're excited to bring you the release of BlenderKit v3.14.0!

This version focuses on automatic port switching, improved compatibility with the latest Blender alphas, better brush handling, and more responsive polling intervals.

Improvements đź”—

✏️ Brush Appending Improvements
Resolved compatibility problems with brushes from pre-Blender 3.5, ensuring they work correctly in Blender 4.3, 4.4-alpha, and beyond.

🔌 Automatic Client Port Switching
The add-on now attempts different ports when the Client fails to start on the default one, eliminating manual port changes in Preferences.

♻️ Blender 4.4.0-alpha Compatibility
Fixed issues where the Asset Bar, drag-and-drop, and disclaimers were not functioning in Blender 4.4.0-alpha, ensuring a seamless experience even in cutting-edge Blender builds.

🖼️ Better Thumbnails
Thumbnails with alpha channels are now handled more gracefully in the asset detail window, resolving the problem with sometimes glitchy thumbnail previews.

⏱️ Configurable Client Polling Interval
The add-on now polls the Client more frequently—every 200ms by default instead of 500ms—making searches and online interactions snappier. If you encounter timeouts or find this too CPU-intensive, adjust the polling interval in the add-on preferences to suit your needs.
