The serialization layout for arbitrary chains has changed. You will need to reconfigure any arbitrary chains defined on your Ragdoll and/or RagdollAnimator prefabs.

• TetrapodNamingConvention assets now allow you to define arbitrary chains, the names of their bodies, and whether or not they are symmetrical.
• Added the following methods to TetrapodNamingConvention:
  • GetArbitraryChainDefinitions()
  • GetExpectedArbitraryChainBodyNames()
  • SetArbitraryChainDefinitions()
• TetrapodCharacterizationTemplate assets now allow you to define arbitrary chains and map symmetry between them.
• Added the following methods to TetrapodCharacterizationTemplate:
  • GetArbitraryChains()
  • GetCorrespondingArbitraryChains()
  • MapArbitraryChains()
  • SetArbitraryChains()
• Added QuadrupedCharacterizationTemplate class (accessible via Assets -> Create -> Candlelight -> Quadruped Characterization Template). Default behaviors and values are tuned for equids (e.g., horses).
• Added TheropodCharacterizationTemplate class (accessible via Assets -> Create -> Candlelight -> Tetrapod Characterization Template). Default behaviors and values are tuned for large, non-avian theropods (e.g., Tyrannosaurus Rex, Allosaurus).

• Method signature for RagdollAnimator.RagdollBodyEvent delegate now takes RagdollPart instead of PhysicalBody.
• RagdollToggleTest script now works with all tetrapods.
• Removed IBodyChain[T, TPart].Name and IBodyChain[T, TPart].ToNamedChain(). Both interfaces were removed from TransformChain and RagdollPartChain.
• Removed void ITetrapodX[TPart, TChain].SetArbitraryChainsBackingField(List[TChain] backingField, TChain[] value).
• IArbitraryChains[TPart, TChain].GetArbitraryChains() now takes Dictionary[string, TChain] instead of List[TChain].
• IArbitraryChains[TPart, TChain].ContainsArbitraryChain(string) is now IArbitraryChains[TPart, TChain].DefinesArbitraryChain(string)
• Removed TetrapodCharacterizationTemplate.AdvancedDefaultHuman() and BasicDefaultHuman(); instead use TetrapodCharacterizationTemplate.ApplyAdvancedDefaultSettings() and ApplyBasicDefaultSettings().
• Library updates.

• Fixes compiler errors in Unity 5.2.0.
• RagdollAnimators with CharacterControllers now immediately update CharacterController.isGrounded property when recovering from full-body ragdoll.
• Fixed bug where rotated colliders might be on wrong layer if layer on RagdollPart GameObject was changed in editor.
• Fixed bug causing RagdollAnimator to throw NullReferenceException when scene with a RagdollAnimator is reloaded at run-time.
• Fixed NullReferenceException in RagdollAnimator that only appeared in builds, and which caused characters to immediately turn into ragdolls.
• Fixed bug preventing RagdollToggleTest script from finding differently named ragdoll parameter.
• Fixed bug preventing Animator Debug Mode from working.
• Fix bug causing RagdollAnimatorFinalIKSync to possibly skip resetting transforms for non-null IK solvers.
