Hi IStonia,

  * "Use path curve tangent spaces' option is added to "Slide" and "Spline Modify" tools.
 

It does not appear to be using path curve tangency, but rather an average between 2 points (as it did before).

Quick example:-

Semi-circle planer path. The start and end vertex on path have tangency set to 90/270deg.

When using a spine to slide along that path, the start/end tangency to path are not correct.

If I was to instead "Extrude" a plane along that path, I do get expected result.
