API

• GraphComponent : Added support for compatibility:childAlias:{aliasName} metadata, which specifies the name of a child to be accessed via the alias {aliasName}. The Python methods getChild(), descendant(), __getitem__, __delitem__, and __contains__ now fall back to using aliases when a direct match is not found. This metadata can be registered to maintain compatibility when renaming plugs.
