  • Added a custom start menu tile for Windows versions that support them - [#1787]
  • Added macOS builds for Apple Silicon - [#1835]

Known Issues & Gotchas

  • The vector engine is a work in progress and does not work as intended. Much work will be required, please avoid using it for production
  • The information dialog shown when changing the application langage may display without any message under certain circumstances
  • Panning the canvas by middle- or right-click-dragging with a tablet causes the application to misbehave on Windows - [#1813]
  • The command line export operation consumes more memory than using the editor - [#1117]
  • Users of Huion tablets may experience lag and buggy strokes - [#1133]
  • Some users may experience perceived audio delay during playback, depending on the number of layers and frames in the project. Sound scrubbing and movie export are unaffected – [#1567], [#1179]
  • Using the smudge tool in default mode on bitmap layers adds a white background to strokes. This may cause unexpected results, so please use it with caution
  • Using the smudge tool in smooth mode on bitmap layers by pressing Alt keeps smudging the pixels rather than blurring the image
  • Using the bucket tool to fill vector a vector stroke requires the stroke to be selected
