Asymmetric torso revamp for females:

This systems renovation brings full asymmetric integration to female hips and torsos
along with numerous new features and options.

All relevant chest and hip geometries have been modified to now accept asymmetric base
textures and tinting patterns. The intent is that asym chests and hips blend seamlessly
with the core costume library we have all come to know and love. No existing option already
available on Rebirth has been sacrificed.

For beta testing purposes, original symmetric categories have been left turned on temporarily
to allow QA testing to ensure that no existing options were forgotton. All new menu bonesets
have been appended with "Asym" to allow easy identification of new categories. This is true even
for new boneset categories without a corresponding legacy version, such as "Single Panel Tights"
and "Jodhpurs."

Later in the testing process, the legacy menus will be switched off and the "Asym" notation will
be removed. For testing purposes, the Valentines event unlockable toga category has been
temporarily unlocked. Before live release, this category will be returned to its conditional state
requiring Valentines event participation to unlock the boneset.

Currently, for testing purposes, most new pattern options are at the bottom of the library.
Before release to Rebirth Live, the patterns that pass our quality standards either as is or
revision, will be canonized. This means they will be folded into the larger alphabetic listing.
The Rebirth dev team reserves the option to hold back any patterns that do not meet our
quality standards at release time. Feedback for how to improve problematic patterns is
welcome during testing.

Patch details below are broken into listings to better help you orient yourself
to the new additions.
