# Release 0.20.0

**Release Date:** April 2026

**Previous Version:** v0.19.0. (April 2026)

### New Features & Nodes <a href="#new-features-and-nodes" id="new-features-and-nodes"></a>

#### Seedance 2.0 Migration + Algorithmic Image Filters Node <a href="#seedance-2.0-migration--algorithmic-image-filters-node" id="seedance-2.0-migration--algorithmic-image-filters-node"></a>

* **Seedance 2.0** new **Reference to Video** node accepting up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio clips.

* **69 algorithmic image filters** in a new Image Filters node across 8 categories (Noise, Blur, Color/Tone, Sharpen, Distortion, Degrade/Stylize, Weather, Blend Modes). Users get a single dropdown with built-in parameter guidance.

#### Node Field Visibility Conditions <a href="#node-field-visibility-conditions" id="node-field-visibility-conditions"></a>

* Fields on nodes now dynamically show/hide based on other field values (e.g., backend-specific parameters only appear when that backend is selected). "Backend" labels renamed to "Engine" across the UI.

### Improvements & Quality of Life <a href="#improvements-and-quality-of-life" id="improvements-and-quality-of-life"></a>

#### Normals Mode on High-to-Low Poly Baking <a href="#normals-mode-on-high-to-low-poly-baking" id="normals-mode-on-high-to-low-poly-baking"></a>

* New `normals_mode` parameter (preserve / smooth / flat) on the bake node, giving users explicit control over low-poly shading before baking.

#### Insufficient Credits Display Fix <a href="#insufficient-credits-display-fix" id="insufficient-credits-display-fix"></a>

* Removed a faulty condition that could hide the "insufficient credits" message in the agent chat panel. Also cleaned up dead `axios` dependency.

#### Image Format Reliability Fix <a href="#image-format-reliability-fix" id="image-format-reliability-fix"></a>

* Third-party backends occasionally returned JPEG instead of PNG. All image outputs are now normalized to real PNG before metadata embedding. Extract PNG Metadata now shows the actual error instead of a generic "no metadata" message.

### Summary for in-browser users <a href="#summary-for-in-browser-users" id="summary-for-in-browser-users"></a>

The headline changes a user would **see and feel**:

1. **Seedance 2.0 video generation** — new Reference-to-Video node
2. **69 image filters** — blur, grain, color grading, blend modes, etc. — directly in the node graph
3. **Smart field visibility** — node panels are cleaner; irrelevant fields hide automatically based on selected engine
4. **\~16x faster aspect ratio suggestions** — feels nearly instant now
5. **Normals mode** on baking — new creative control
6. **Bug fixes** — correct suggestion values, reliable PNG output, proper credit warnings

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.atlas.design/atlas-ai-studio-overview/release-notes/release-0.20.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
