Thanks for your report and sorry for my delayed response, I am travelling the whole month.
The canvas icon on canvas panel is known issue during my work on term renaming. There are two concerns that make me let it as it was:
The new type_canvas_icon is following type icon style, symbol-ish and flat. We can not just use it as Canvas Browser Panel icon. instead, we have to design a canvas icon following tango guilde line as other panels. But when I got the signal from other developers that the Canvas Browser Panel will be merged into Library Panel. Then I come to my conclusion, don’t touch it at this renaming cycle.
At gfx level, the walk example doens’t walk as expected : The outline of each part of the body is done with a “The [MIME]BLine” named layer. , but those layers seems to be not rendered at all. (Cause of a retro compatibility … ?)
I have tried to link an Outline (also advanced) layer to the Region layer segment list , without result (work with a Polygon layer, but result is little squarii)
I’ve found the solution (and the cause to this bug) but I haven’t had time to push to master yet.
Simply add this to the at the modules/mod_geometry/main.cpp file:
Reason: during terminology change, the layer alias “BLine” was replaced by “Spline” and that’s not a good idea to keep compatibility with old files.

Great work!
Since 0.64.0 is released, I think it’s brilliant long-awaited moment to approve all manual pages. So we will have all the new terminology visible now.
Yep agree …
but better to wait for the package release… no? so in the release post, we can talk about the rewrited doc.
We need also to add a banner (or something similar) to prevent the outdated state (<0.64) of all doc but main/english …
Is it possible to add (script?) the banner/note/info/category/template … on each page individually? it could be even better
{{Category|NewTerminology}} should be wear off … no ?
Also i plan to prepare a little post on how to help rewrite the doc for the french community…
Now the question:
Are we going to keep the Approval mechanism or it’s better to disable it for now? Since we have no resource to moderate wiki now, I think it’s ok to disable it until we need it again…
K.
Agree with deactivating moderation.
I think that without moderation (or with people involved to do a quick moderation), it’s more grateful for people wants to help in the wiki/doc.
Question: The non English docs are fully outdated now (terms + screenshot) how can we prevent readers ? simple proposition : add a banner in wiki.synfig.org/wiki/Main_Page "Consequence of the Synfig Studio 0.64.0 terminology change(intra link) is a total wiki revolution. The English pages are updated, but the translations to other languages are still outdated. You can help rewriting them! (intra links : howto writers doc & howto fr/es/ru/…?. terminology change) " Nota : fr/es/ru/ of “terminology change” must be done (i will do the french one)
