Hello,
Thank you for voicing those concerns. I will try to provide as much information as I can regarding this.
The aim for TVPaint 12 was to rewrite the entire manual. Since we changed the way our website worked, the user manual also had to be ported to a new system which we learned along the way.
This caused its share of technical issues, some of which we are still facing today. They are about to be finally solved but some of our colleagues are currently on sick leave and their expertise is needed before we proceed with its release.
We have had many setbacks the past year and were not able to rewrite everything in due time.
We have tried to help users apprehend the new V12 features through Léo’s video tutorials in the meantime.
In conclusion, we hope for V12 manual to be released in a few weeks. It will be released as a work in progress because of everything that has been stated above. We are currently still working on it and it will eventually be complete at some point, but you have to keep in mind we are not a big team and that everyone here is doing a lot of different things as a consequence.
We apologize for this inconvenient situation. V11 doc is still reachable through the link you have provided (
https://www.tvpaint.com/doc/tvp11/) and can still be useful while we are working on the V12 one, since both versions have a lot in common.
