Per-object shaders. This feature is especially useful for tasks like adding a separated outline to each element of a bone chain.

Allow parent-child layers.

And multiple layers to be a clipping mask under one layer.

Changes

Added cleanEdge as pixel scaling algorithm.

Dialogs are now using sub-windows, which will allow floating panels in the future.
