Version 0.0.24 was just released into the wild. Please help to spread the word.

A lot of stuff was changed, fixed or added. The UI of voxedit got a lot of new features and quality of life changes. The renderer got basic transparency support and FBX import support was added. But these are just a few of the things that this release brings to its users.

Another rather huge change was the WebAssembly port that allows us to run voxedit in the browser. https://mgerhardy.github.io/vengi-voxedit-html5/
