NodeToPython v4.0.0

[BrendanParmer]

NodeToPython v4.0 is here!

In celebration of Blender 5.0's release, NodeToPython is getting a big one, too. Here's what's new:

• NodeToPython is now Blender 5.0 ready.
• New node tree types! Now you can export Line Style, World, and Light nodes to Python
• Multiple node groups can now be exported at once, both in script and add-on mode
• The UI has gotten a full re-vamp
  • No more executing the export operator when selecting your node group
  • Now a simple button at the top shows you what you're exporting and where you're exporting to
  • Node groups are added using Blender's UIList for easy selection, addition, removal, sorting, etc.
• Node groups from Blender's Essentials Library are now linked by default, rather than re-created
• Generated node references are made safer in some places
• Blender 4.2 is now the minimum version
  • NodeToPython versions prior to v4.0 will always be available for download!
  • This allows us to clean up the code and take advantage of newer features of both Python and bpy that weren't possible when we still needed to support Blender 3.0

Something not quite right? Have a suggestion for a future improvement? Please submit an issue!

Thank you for using NodeToPython! It's a joy to see what people are making with the help of my tool
