• Text fields will now throw more detailed exceptions when the OffsetMapping provided by a VisualTransformation returns invalid indices.

atFraction is 🔝
Finally we can easily change overall animation duration without “moving” all keyframes 😅

If anyone plays with variable fonts in 1.3 please send feedback my way - want to bump it to non-experimental in 1.4 and feedback welcome!
