Überarbeitete Oberfläche und verbesserter PDF-Export
Das freie Vektorzeichenprogramm Inkscape ist jetzt in der Version 0.44 erschienen, die neben einer überarbeiteten Programmoberfläche auch die Maskierung von Objekten unterstützt. Der PDF-Export kann nun auch mit Transparenzen umgehen und das Programm soll insgesamt schneller laufen.
Die Entwickler heben besonders die überarbeitete Programmoberfläche hervor, die unter anderem einen neugestalteten Optionen-Dialog umfasst. Neu ist auch ein Ebenen-Dialog, in dem sich Ebenen sperren und entsperren lassen. Auch können Ebenen hierüber versteckt und wieder sichtbar gemacht werden. Die Unterstützung, um Objekte zu maskieren, ist zusammen mit Ausschneidepfaden neu hinzugekommen.
In einem neuen Modus stellt Inkscape nur die Umrisse einer Grafik dar, um so eine bessere Übersicht über die gesamte Zeichnung zu geben. Darin erscheinen auch Objekte, die ansonsten durch ein anderes überlagert sind. Tastaturkürzel lassen sich in Inkscape 0.44 nun auch selbst festlegen.
Beim PDF-Export unterstützt die Anwendung nun Transparenzen und die Geschwindigkeit des gesamten Programmes soll deutlich gesteigert worden sein. Eine neue Farbauswahl und ein Style Indicator zählen ebenfalls zu den neuen Funktionen wie eine Werkzeugleiste für Text und neue Symbole. Das Knotenwerkzeug wurde um eine neue Möglichkeit zur Pfadverformung erweitert, indem sich nun Knoten weich verformen lassen. Damit wird ein Pfad zu einer weichen, bandartigen Kurve. Beim Einsatz von Zeichentabletts soll diese Funktion auch druckempfindlich auf den Stift reagieren.
Die Tutorials stehen mit der neuen Programmversion nun auch in Deutsch zur Verfügung, sind allerdings nicht in den Paketen enthalten. Stattdessen können die HTML-Versionen online abgerufen werden ( http://inkscape.org/doc/index.php ) . Inkscape 0.44 steht im Quelltext sowie als Paket für Linux, Windows und MacOS X zum Download bereit.

Rund ein halbes Jahr nach der letzten stabilen Version haben die Entwickler des Open-Source-Vektorzeichners Inkscape Release 0.45 offiziell zum Download freigegeben.
Ein Gaußscher Weichzeichner soll Inkscape-Objekte wie Pfade, Formen, Gruppen, Text und Bildern in Unschärfe tauchen können, ohne dass dabei die originalen Vektorobjekte verändert werden – insbesondere bleiben sie vollständig editierbar. Mit Hilfe dieses Weichzeichners sollen sich in Inkscape auch unscharfe Masken herstellen lassen.
Wie schon beim letzten Release wollen die Programmierer das Zeichenprogramm schneller gemacht haben. So soll es bereits auf neue Nutzereingaben reagieren, noch bevor die Grafik auf dem Bildschirm vollständig neu gezeichnet ist – was je nach Aufwand der letzten Operation mehrere Sekunden dauern kann. Eine Liste der durchgeführten Arbeitsschritte soll es dem Zeichner erleichtern, gezielt einen früheren Zustand seiner Grafik wiederherzustellen, indem er eine ganze Reihe von Aktionen mit einem Klick rückgängig machen oder wiederholen kann. Einträge im "Hilfe"-Menü binden über den Browser Hilfeseiten zu Inkscape im Web ein.
Der Vektorzeichner liegt derzeit als Installationsdatei für Mac OS X (für Power-PC und als Universal Binary) und im Quellcode vor. Wer Windows benutzt und sich die Software nicht selbst kompilieren will, muss auf das fertige Installationspaket noch etwas warten. Linux-Nutzer sollten das Grafikprogramm ohnehin direkt über den Paketmanager ihrer jeweiligen Distribution beziehen.

Es war abzusehen, jetzt ist es offiziell: Adobe trägt das Zeichenprogramm Freehand zu Grabe. "Adobe plant weder weitere Releases von Freehand, noch Patches oder Updates für neue Betriebssystemversionen und Hardware", so der Senior-Produktmanager von Photoshop John Nack in seinem Blog. Eine Freehand-Version für Windows Vista oder für Intel-Macs wird es damit definitiv nicht geben.
Das erste Freehand-Release erblickte 1988 das Licht der Welt. Das damals 429 KByte kleine Programm benötigte auf dem Mac 750 KByte RAM für flüssiges Arbeiten. In seiner langen Historie wechselte das Produkt mehrmals den Eigentümer, bevor es 1995 zu Macromedia gelangte. Die letzte Version, FreeHand MX, erschien 2003 und war dem Look und der Struktur der anderen MX-Produkte wie dem HTML-Editor Dreamweaver und der Animationssoftware Flash angepasst.
Fans des Vektorgrafikprogramms bangten schon seit der Übernahme von Macromedia vor 2 Jahren um die Zukunft der Anwendung, denn Adobe hat mit Illustrator einen eigenen Vektorzeichner im Programm. Dieser ist auch Bestandteil des Design-Pakets Creative Suite. Mit Preisnachlässen versucht das Unternehmen nun, heimatlosen Freehand-Anwendern den Umstieg auf Illustrator schmackhaft zu machen.

Ein Artikel im Netz brachte den Novell-Angestellten Jonathan Pobst auf die Idee, ein Malprogramm ähnlich Paint.NET zu schreiben. Die Software heißt Pinta (http://pinta-project.com/) und Pobst hat Version 0.1 veröffentlicht.
(http://pinta-project.com/Images/ss2.jpg)
Bei der Entwicklung hat er den meisten Code mit Gtk+ und Cairo selbst geschrieben und sich nur bei den Anpassungen und Effekten bei dem unter MIT-Lizenz stehenden Code von Paint.NET 3.0 bedient.
Das Programm soll sich als einfaches Malprogramm an alle Nutzer richten, die die vielfältigen Funktionen von Gimp nicht benötigen. Bislang beherrscht das Programm die Grundlagen der Bildbearbeitung wie Pinsel, Stifte sowie einige Formen und den Umgang mit Ebenen. Es bringt auch schon einige Effekte mit, unter anderem Sepia und Schwarz-Weiß.
Für OpenSuse und Ubuntu stehen Pakete zum Download bereit. Wer Pinta unter Mac OS X oder Windows ausprobieren möchte, greift zu dem vom Programmierer bereitgestellten Zip-Archiv. Damit das Programm funktioniert, muss unter Mac OS X Mono und unter Windows Gtk# installiert sein.

Version 2.2 des Bildanzeige- und Malprogramms GrafX2 wurde kürzlich veröffentlicht. Dieses Tool wurde angelehnt an die Amiga-Malprogramme Brilliance und Deluxe Paint erstellt. Es steht für unzählige Betriebssysteme (Windows, Linux, MacOS X etc.) kostenlos zur Verfügung.
(http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4084/sshotsvn1398.png)
Von 1996 bis zum Jahr 2001 war GrafX2 ein reines MS-DOS Programm der Demoszene-Gruppe Sunset Design. Nachdem man den Quellcode unter einer GNU GPL Lizenz veröffentlichte, kam von Eclipse 2004 die erste Version unter Windows heraus. Spannend ist dieses Programm unter anderem für ehemalige Anwender des Commodore Amiga, weil auf dem PC Bilder vom Amiga in der Original-Auflösung dargestellt und bearbeitet werden können. Wer früher auf dem Amiga gepixelt hat, wird sich bei GrafX2 schnell wie zu Hause fühlen, die Bedienung ist ganz ähnlich wie bei den klassischen Malprogrammen.
Die aktuelle Version läuft auf zahlreichen Computern und Betriebssystemen. Darunter Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, MacOS X, AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.0, BeOS, Haiku, MorphOS, AROS und SkyOS. Sogar für die fernöstliche tragbare Spielkonsole GP2X wurde eine Version umgesetzt.
Das Tool wurde mit Absicht sehr ressourcenschonend programmiert, selbst die Windows-Version nimmt nicht mehr als 1,5 MB Platz in Anspruch. GrafX2 kann von hier (http://exit.gulli.com/url/http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/) heruntergeladen werden. Trotz der vielen Funktionen sollte man kein zweites Photoshop erwarten, die Programme wurden total unterschiedlich konzipiert.

Das Malprogramm Pinta ist in der Version 0.4 freigegeben worden. Pinta verwendet die Docking-Funktion von Mono-Develop, womit sich die Arbeitsfläche nach Bedarf einrichten lässt. Pinta wurde außerdem in 18 Sprachen übersetzt.
Mit der Implementierung der Docking-Bibliothek, die auch in Mono-Develop zum Einsatz kommt, können Werkzeugeinstellungen freigestellt und beliebig auf der Arbeitsoberfläche platziert werden. Die Arbeitsoberfläche harmoniert jetzt besser mit dem Gnome-Desktop.
(http://scr3.golem.de/screenshots/1007/pinta/thumb480/dock.png)
Das Malprogramm wurde mit Community-Hilfe in 18 Sprachen übersetzt, darunter auch in Deutsch. Nicht alle Übersetzungen sind vollständig, auch dem Deutschen fehlen noch einige Passagen. Freiwillige können sich über die entsprechende Projektseite auf Launchpad an der Arbeit beteiligen.
Pinta kommt jetzt mit weiteren Bildformaten zurecht, etwa Tiff, Gif und BMP-Bitmaps. Pinta verwendet das Openraster-Format. Damit sind in Pinta verwendete Ebenen auch mit Krita und Mypaint kompatibel. Außerdem spendierte der Entwickler dem Textwerkzeug eine Schriftartenvorschau.
Die gegenwärtige Version 0.4 läuft auch auf dem .Net-Framework unter Windows, benötigt dort aber zusätzlich die Gtk#-Umgebung. Alternativ kann dort auch Mono für Windows verwendet werden, wenn es ebenfalls um Gtk# erweitert wurde. Auch unter Mac OS X läuft Pinta unter Mono und Gtk#. Für Linux bietet der Entwickler Pakete für Opensuse und Ubuntu zum Download auf der Projektseite pinta-project.com (http://pinta-project.com/download) an.

Der Entwickler Josh Marinacci hat eine erste Version des Vectorzeichenprogramms Leonardo veröffentlicht. Leonardo soll sich als plattformunabhängiges Zeichenprogramm etablieren. Die Hauptkomponenten sind in Java implementiert, Erweiterungen können in Java, JavaScript, Ruby, oder Python geschrieben werden.
Aktuell befindet sich das unter der BSD-Lizenz stehende und als »Zeichenwerkzeug für das 21. Jahrhundert« betitelte Leonardo noch in einem frühen Entwicklungsstand, es lassen sich einfache Vektorzeichnungen erstellen und in die Formate png und svg exportieren. Zukünftig sollen laut Marinacci weitere Formate unterstützt werden.
(http://www.pro-linux.de/images/NB3/imgdb/o_plattformunabhaengiges-zeichenprogramm-leonardo.jpg)
Neben dem Zeichnen kann Leonardo auch genutzt werden, um Präsentationen zu erstellen. Der Online-Bilderdienst Flickr soll sich mit nur einem Klick aus dem Programm heraus durchsuchen lassen, die Ergebnisse der Suche können anschließend in Leonardo übernommen werden. Anwender können ihre Zeichnungen in Twitpics veröffentlichen oder Freunden und Kollegen direkt per Email zukommen lassen.
Marinacci sucht noch Gleichgesinnte, die sich an der Entwicklung beteiligen wollen. Es fehlen beispielsweise noch Unterstützung für in JRuby, Jython oder anderen JVM-basierten Sprachen geschriebene Plugins, ansprechende Zeichnungen für die Leonardo-Gallerie, die Implementation von OpenID- und OpenAuth-Unterstützung oder Installer für Linux und Windows. Für zukünftige Versionen plant Marinacci den Export in HTML 5 und PDF, Effekte wie Schattierungen oder Verwischen und einen integrierten Bitmap-Editor. Der aktuelle Entwicklungsstand kann von der Downloadseite (http://leonardosketch.org/download-source/) des Projekts heruntergeladen werden.

Die Entwickler von Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/index.php?lang=de) haben Version 0.48 des Open-Source-Vektorzeichners zum Download freigegeben. Die Release Notes (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48) heben als Highlight unter anderem das verbesserte Textwerkzeug hervor: Es erlaubt jetzt den Satz von hoch- und tiefgestellen Zeichen, nimmt numerische Eingaben für Kerning, Zeichen-, und Wortabstand entgegen und bietet Stellschrauben für Zeilenabstand und sogar Rotation. Ein Sprühdosenwerkzeug verteilt wahlweise Kopien oder Klone ausgewählter Vektorformen auf die Zeichenfläche. Zudem kann man neuerdings mehrere Pfade gemeinsam auswählen, um ihre Knoten zu bearbeiten.
Beim Export fertiger Grafiken als PDF, EPS oder PostScript greift Inkscape auf Wunsch für die Schrift auf die Talente des Textsatzsystems auf LaTeX zurück – das ist insbesondere interessant, wenn man mit komplizierten mathematischen Ausdrücken und Formeln arbeitet.
(http://www.heise.de/imgs/18/5/6/0/0/2/5/b8e72cc04abb71ce.png)
Inkscape wird seit 2003 entwickelt und steht unter der Open-Source-Lizenz GPL. Die Software läuft unter Windows, Mac OS X sowie Linux/Unix. Als internes Dateiformat benutzt sie den W3C-Standard SVG. Grob einmal pro Jahr bringt die Inkscape-Community ein neues Release heraus. Trotz der Null vor der Versionsnummer ist Inkscape schon lange ein ernsthaft zu benutzendes Werkzeug, wenn auch jedes Release Funktionen mitbringt, die eher experimentell anmuten. Laut FAQ wird es sicher irgendwann einmal eine Version 1.00 geben, doch: [es] "muss noch viel Zeit investiert werden, um lose Enden und Lücken zu beseitigen und die Stabilität weiter zu erhöhen."

New features
Users can import and export brushes. This feature was developed mainly by Ilya Portnov. Ilya also added tilt support to the brush engine.
One can now shows/hide all sub-windows with a key shortcut and there is a key for showing the menu at the cursor. This work was done by Andrew Chadwick. Andrew also tweaked window behavior and fixed a number of issues in input handling and in the color sampler.
New preferences have been added; you can now set the default zoom level/resolution, and the default save format. The color history popup bound to the secondary stylus button can also be disabled.
We now save thumbnails for OpenRaster files according to the freedesktop.org specification thanks to Till Hartmann.
User Interface
Open dialog now shows a preview supported files, also by Till Hartmann.
Saving and editing of brushes has moved together with the brush settings dialog, which has been renamed to “Brush Editor” to reflect it’s intended use. The brush selector has instead got the most commonly used brush settings in an expander, for quick access during painting.
The save dialog and exception dialog have gotten small updates to improve usability.
There are no new translations but 10 languages have been updated.
Performance
Performance has been greatly improved in two areas: startup and file saving. File-saving optimization was done by Martin Renold, and should make MyPaint the fastest OpenRaster implementation out there! The changes in how we save PNGs also make us require much less memory when saving, which makes out-of-memory conditions less likely.
Brushes
The default set of brushes has been changed slightly. There are now a maximum of 35 brushes in each group so that it is easier to view the entire group. There are now three artists brush sets; “Deevad” by David Revoy (of Sintel fame), “Ramón” by Ramón Miranda and “Tanda” by Marcelo Cerviño and two non-artist brush groups; “classic” and “experimental”. The last two groups has gotten new icons by David. In addition, pixel and tilt brushes have been added. The wiki has more Brush Packages for download.
There was also many other contributions, minor improvements and bugfixes that did not make it into this post. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release. Enjoy!

Novell-Entwickler Jonathan Probst hat Version 1.0 seines Malprogramms Pinta (http://pinta-project.com/) für Linux, Windows und Mac OS freigegeben. Die Paint.NET nachempfundene Anwendung soll sich als einfache Alternative zur Bildbearbeitung für alle anbieten, die den Funktionsumfang von Gimp nicht benötigen. Pinta unterstützt die Arbeit mit Ebenen, unbegrenztes Undo und bringt 35 Bildbearbeitungseffekte und -funktionen mit.
Für Version 1.0 haben die Entwickler hauptsächlich Fehler beseitigt, darunter einige, die zum Absturz des Programms führten. In den nächsten Monaten will Chefprogrammierer Jonathan Probst eine Roadmap für die weitere Entwicklung veröffentlichen und deutete bereits an, dort würden Plug-ins eine Rolle spielen. Außerdem hat er eine Feature-Request-Seite (http://pinta.uservoice.com/) angelegt, auf der sich Pinta-Nutzer neue Funktionen für das Programm wünschen können.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.

Die Entwickler der freien Grafikanwendung MyPaint haben ihr Programm in der Version 1.0 veröffentlicht. MyPaint ist für Linux, Mac OS X und MS Windows erhältlich und soll es Künstlern ermöglichen, sich auf ihre Kunst zu konzentrieren ohne von der Funktionsvielfalt des Programms abgelenkt zu werden.
(http://www.pro-linux.de/images/NB3/imgdb/o_mypaint-10.jpg)
MyPaint (http://mypaint.intilinux.com/) verfügt über eine Leinwand mit automatischer Größenanpassung und eine minimalistische Nutzeroberfläche, die nur bei Bedarf eingeblendet wird. Die Anwendung bringt bereits viele Malwerkzeuge mit und arbeitet sehr gut mit drucksensitiven Grafiktablets zusammen. In MyPaint 1.0 führen die Entwickler eine anpassbare Toolbar ein, die sich mit Dropdown-Widgets für Farben, Pinsel und Pinseleinstellungen bestücken lässt. Es gibt einen neuen »Lock Alpha«-Modus für Pinselstriche und Funktionalitäten, um Ebenen anzuordnen.
MyPaint 1.0 erlaubt es Digital-Künstlern, einzelne Aktionen an Maus- und Stylustasten zu binden. Im neuen Scratchpad-Werkzeug lassen sich Thumbnails, Notizen, Pinselstriche oder Farbwahlen hinterlegen. Darüber hinaus nahmen die Entwickler viele kleine Änderungen vor, um MyPaint performanter, fehlerfreier und benutzerfreundlicher zu machen.
MyPaint wurde erstmals im März 2005 veröffentlicht und ist in C++ und Python implementiert. Die Anwendung steht unter der GPLv2 und ist als ca. 35 MB großes Quelltextarchiv auf der Downloadseite (http://mypaint.intilinux.com/?page_id=6) des Projekts erhältlich. Binary-Pakete (http://wiki.mypaint.info/index.php?title=Packaging) für verschiedene Distributionen folgen in Kürze.

Die Farbpipette kann Farben nun nicht mehr nur aus einzelnen Pixeln entnehmen, sondern zur Farbwahl auch größere Bereiche aus einer einzelnen Ebene oder dem kompletten Bild berücksichtigen.
Die neue Version soll jetzt auch besser mit Erweiterungen zurecht kommen, wobei auch die Installation aus entfernten Quellen möglich ist. Neben den neuen Funktionen listen die Release Notes (http://pinta-project.com/Releases.Release%201-4.ashx) eine ganze Reihe von Fehler auf, die in der neuen Version behoben wurden. Die Software steht unter der freien MIT X11-Lizenz und ist für Linux, Mac OS X und Windows verfügbar (http://pinta-project.com/download.ashx).

Die Entwickler der freien Grafikanwendung MyPaint haben an Silvester 2012 Version 1.1 veröffentlicht. MyPaint ist für Linux, Mac OS X und MS Windows erhältlich und soll es Künstlern ermöglichen, sich auf ihre Kunst zu konzentrieren, ohne von der Funktionsvielfalt des Programms abgelenkt zu werden.
MyPaint verfügt über eine Leinwand mit automatischer Größenanpassung und eine minimalistische Nutzeroberfläche, die nur bei Bedarf eingeblendet wird. Die Anwendung bringt bereits viele Malwerkzeuge mit und arbeitet sehr gut mit drucksensitiven Grafiktablets zusammen. In MyPaint 1.1, das gut 13 Monate nach Version 1.0 erscheint, wurden unter anderem neue Geometriewerkzeuge eingeführt, mit denen sich Folgen von Linien, Kurven und elliptische Linien zeichnen lassen. Das freihändige Zeichnen ist jetzt nur noch einer der möglichen Linien-Modi. Die Pinsel und die Ebenen erhielten neue Methoden zur Überblendung. Im Farbdialog wurden die Auswahl von Farben und das Arbeiten mit Farbharmonien überarbeitet. Anstelle der bisherigen Farbharmonie-Werkzeuge gibt es jetzt einen Editor für Farbpalettenmasken.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

FreeCAD is a general purpose 3D CAD modeler. It is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. Program features tools similar to Catia, SolidWorks or Solid Edge, and therefore also falls into the category of MCAD, PLM, CAx and CAE.

RealWorld Paint ist eine kostenlose und leistungsstarke Bildbearbeitung. Die Freeware weist eine große Werkzeugpalette auf und bietet einige außergewöhnliche Funktionen, die man in der Regel nur bei Profi-Programmen findet.
RealWorld Paint deckt alle Bereiche der Bildbearbeitung ab, vom Nachbearbeiten und Optimieren von Fotos bis hin zur Erstellung von Collagen und Logos. Natürlich dürfen die Standardwerkzuge wie Pinsel und Farbeimer nicht fehlen. Gängige Funktionen wie das Ändern der Bildgrößen und Farben sowie Kontrast oder Schärfe sind ebenso enthalten. Die angebotenen Filter und Effekte ermöglichen aber auch komplexere Foto-Bearbeitungen.
Die Bedienung von RealWorld Paint ist einfach, die Oberfläche sehr übersichtlich. Das Umschalten auf eine deutsche Oberfläche kann direkt im Programm erfolgen. Fotos lassen sich problemlos nacharbeiten und verschönern. Besonders interessant: Bilder können auch auf mehreren Ebenen bearbeitet und den einzelnen Ebenen auf Wunsch unterschiedliche Eigenschaften zugewiesen werden.
PSD-Dateien aus Photoshop werden von RealWorld Paint unterstützt. Bilderprofis werden sich außerdem darüber freuen, dass sie Plug-ins von Photoshop einbinden können. Erwähnenswert sind auch die Speicherung von Lieblingsverläufen und -farben, die Steuerung über Mausgesten und die Möglichkeit, animierte GIF-Dateien zu gestalten.

Added a brush library. The library contains some simple default brushes. The user can add his own custom brushes to the library, by simply moving them into the brush folder (data/brushes) and restarting the application. When saving a drawing process, if the user used a custom brush which is not present in the default library, the brush will be automatically saved inside the drawing process file. This way the drawing process can be replicated also on installations of SpeedyPainter which don´t contain that particular brush.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

RealWorld Paint ist eine kostenlose und leistungsstarke Bildbearbeitung. Die Freeware weist eine große Werkzeugpalette auf und bietet einige außergewöhnliche Funktionen, die man in der Regel nur bei Profi-Programmen findet.
RealWorld Paint deckt alle Bereiche der Bildbearbeitung ab, vom Nachbearbeiten und Optimieren von Fotos bis hin zur Erstellung von Collagen und Logos. Natürlich dürfen die Standardwerkzuge wie Pinsel und Farbeimer nicht fehlen. Gängige Funktionen wie das Ändern der Bildgrößen und Farben sowie Kontrast oder Schärfe sind ebenso enthalten. Die angebotenen Filter und Effekte ermöglichen aber auch komplexere Foto-Bearbeitungen.
Die Bedienung von RealWorld Paint ist einfach, die Oberfläche sehr übersichtlich. Das Umschalten auf eine deutsche Oberfläche kann direkt im Programm erfolgen. Fotos lassen sich problemlos nacharbeiten und verschönern. Besonders interessant: Bilder können auch auf mehreren Ebenen bearbeitet und den einzelnen Ebenen auf Wunsch unterschiedliche Eigenschaften zugewiesen werden.
PSD-Dateien aus Photoshop werden von RealWorld Paint unterstützt. Bilderprofis werden sich außerdem darüber freuen, dass sie Plug-ins von Photoshop einbinden können. Erwähnenswert sind auch die Speicherung von Lieblingsverläufen und -farben, die Steuerung über Mausgesten und die Möglichkeit, animierte GIF-Dateien zu gestalten.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.

Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application that helps you place your furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview.
Open Source
Release Notes
Replaced the Loader3DS library by a new one that better interprets colors, transparency and subparts placing of 3D models at 3DS format (caution: the customization of materials set on furniture at 3DS format in previous versions of Sweet Home 3D will be lost).
Increased to 50 the maximum count of stored points of view.
Added a margin of error to determine whether a piece of furniture overlaps an other one, when a user wants to place it on the top of the second one.
In the furniture list, appended an icon to the name of each piece with a defined information property, and displayed this information in a popup after a click on the icon.
Restored the previous size of the textures choice dialog box when resized.
Cleared search filter in the textures choice dialog box after a texture is imported.
Forced format for sizes exported to CSV format to display decimals instead of inch fractions.
Added an additional spacing to columns of furniture list at print time under Windows for better rendering.
Fixed a bug that could interpret SH3D files with correct imported zipped 3D models as damaged files.
Fixed a bug that prevented side by side alignment of superimposed pieces of furniture to work.
Fixed wrong computation of wall corner on some horizontal walls.
Ensured that the order in which pieces of furniture were added is kept after grouping them.
Fixed the management of mouse cursor during drag and drop operations in the catalog.
Delayed the disposal of the default home to avoid Java 3D fatal error in Mac OS X full screen mode.
Updated Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese Brazilian, Russian and Polish localizations of the help.
Other minor bugs fixes and enhancements.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Changelog
With the new One-Click Layout service getting a nice layout for your diagrams has become even easier:
Just click the button in the toolbar and let this service analyze your diagram and choose an automatic layout algorithm for you that is then used to arrange your diagram. That's all!
The service takes into account a diagram's structure as well as features like edge routing styles to base its decision on.
One-Click Layout is under ongoing development. With your feedback, we will constantly improve and update this service, independent of yEd releases.)
The new series-parallel layout algorithm lends itself perfectly for a special group of diagrams that often arise in circuit diagrams and flowcharts.
Added a new anonymization tool to remove any identifying information from a diagram.
Improvements:
The maximum number of elements displayed in Local Views is now configurable. [Q&A 298], [Q&A 6108]
Elements within top-level Swimlane Nodes or Table Nodes are properly displayed in Local Views.
The JREs that are installed by the Windows and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_25.
For Mac OS X, there are now two installers available. One for Mac OS X 10.7 or higher (with a bundled JRE 7), the other for OS X 10.8 or higher (with a bundled JRE 8).
Note: Since Java 7 requires Mac OS X 10.7 at least, users of earlier OS X versions should download the yEd Zip archive.
Added sample graphs for the new series-parallel layout.
Bugfixes:
Added a fix for the sun.awt.X11.XException: Cannot write XdndAware property issue on Linux systems.

Changelog
Rendering and performance:
Inkscape 0.91 includes a new renderer based on the Cairo library. This work was done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects.
Improved performance. The new renderer is significantly faster on most drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached to improve responsiveness during editing.
OpenMP multithreading for filters. Filters use all available processor cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems.
Substantial memory savings. Inkscape now uses less memory when opening complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened.
Responsiveness improvements. The rendering of the SVG drawing is now cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed update mode.
Rendering bug fixes. Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are no longer present in Inkscape 0.91. The following things now render correctly:
Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of transformation)
Stroke of transformed objects in patterns
Patterns containing clipped objects
Nested clipping paths
Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline view
Paths with wide strokes and long miters
Fonts
Color display mode:
A grayscale display color mode has been added, that shows a preview of your drawing in grayscale. Shift+numpad5 toggles the color display mode between normal and grayscale.
Tools:
Node tool:
The tool control bar for the Node Tool features a new dropdown to insert new nodes on the selected segments extreme values. For example, it is possible to add a new node at the highest point in a curve using Insert Node at Max Y
Measurement tool:
The Measurement tool is a new feature for the artist to measure the elements in their drawing. To use the measurement tool, simply choose the tool, click anywhere on the drawing and drag the ruler out. The measurement tool will live-update with measurements of length and angles as you pass over objects in your drawing.
Text tool:
Text size default unit is now points (pt) and is customizable (px, pt, pc, mm, cm, in, em)
Text toolbar shows full list of font style variants for that font
Files with text in em units read correctly
Font substitution warning dialog
Gradients:
Gradient toolbar enhanced to select and modify gradient stops, invert, repeat, and link gradients
On-canvas gradient editing fixes: double clicking to create stops, correct focus on select
Gradients sortable by color, name and usage in Fill/Stroke
Gradients can be renamed in Fill/Stroke
Dialogs, etc.:
Arrange (was rows and columns):
NEW: renamed to 'Arrange' - NEW: polar arrangement (separate tab)
Align and Distribute:
The new updated Inkscape features a new set of buttons in the Align and Distribute Dialog called Exchange position of selected objects. It adds the ability to exchange the positions of the objects that the artist has selected.
In the following example, three objects were selected, and their positions were exchaged with each other (using this new feature) according to their selection order.
There are also two other new buttons in the dialog that allow the artist to exchange the selected objects based on the stacking (z-index) order, or just exchange them clockwise based on the object's position on the page.
Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Keypad numbers) for align operations
Document Properties:
Optionally disable antialiasing (bug #170356, interface partially implemented)
Find/Select:
It is now easier to select items which are not at the top of the Z-order: use Alt+mouse wheel scroll to cycle through all items that are stacked on top of each other at the location of the mouse pointer (use Shift+Alt+mouse wheel scroll to add to the existing selection). At present, groups are not honoured, i.e., only individual items within groups are considered.
New Find/Replace dialog can operate on text or any attribute
"Select Same" is a new feature that allows an artist to select objects that have the same properties as the currently selected object. For example, you could select an object that has a fill of blue. Then, using the new feature select all other objects in the drawing with a fill set to that same shade of blue.
The new feature is a menu choice under Edit -> Select Same or as a Context menu if you right click on a selected object. Also there are other choices available to select same, including: matching both Fill and Stroke, matching just stroke, matching stroke style, or matching on object type.
Fill and Stroke:
The Gradient view in the fill and stroke dialog now displays a list of all the gradients in the document. The list displays the gradient, the gradient name, and number of uses of that gradient in the document.
More compact Markers selectors
Layers:
Drag and drop to reorder layers and create sublayers
Show/Hide All layers options in context menu
Symbols:
Inkscape has a new Symbols dialog. The dialog displays symbols from a symbol library. Inkscape 0.91 includes five example libraries: logic symbols, AIGA/DOT transportation symbols, map symbols, flow chart shapes and word balloons. The dialog will also create a pseudo-library of all existing symbols in the current Inkscape drawing. (A symbol is defined by an SVG element.) Symbols can be dragged from the dialog onto the Inkscape canvas.
Any document with symbols can serve as a source for a symbol library. Simply copy it to the symbols directory in your configuration directory (typically share/inkscape). If proper care is taken, symbols can be provided with default fill and stroke colors that later can be overridden by the user.
Visio Stencil files (.vss) can also be used by dropping them in the same symbols directory. Results may not be as satisfactory as using SVG symbol libraries.
Text and Font:
NEW: lists fonts used in the current document at the top
NEW: select all text objects with same font as current selection
NEW (to be verified): support list with fallback fonts (CSS2)
Transform:
Rotation of objects clockwise or counterclockwise
Markers:
Markers now take objects color
Trace Bitmap:
Trace bitmap preview updates live and is resizeable
Live Path Effects:
An object's Live Path Effects are now forked upon object duplication.
PowerStroke:
Here a list of the current state. Note that this is very much work in progress and anything can change. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.
Stroke knots are purple diamonds
When first applied, 3 stroke knots are added: start, end, and somewhere in the middle along the path
Add nodes: Ctrl+click purple knot
Delete nodes: Ctrl+Alt+click purple knot
"sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.
Start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width.
Join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are two new types:
Extrapolated arc: Mathematical explanation.
Spiro: rounds the join using a spiro curve (the rounded type rounds the curve using an elliptical arc).
Clone Original:
The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied to; instead, it copies the original-d path data, i.e. the path data before LPE calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter.
The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the powerstroked path.
To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path to 'clone' and click the menu item Edit -> Clone -> Clone original path (LPE).
Like for normal clones, pressing Shift+D, when the selected path has the Clone original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE.
Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is pressed.
Filters:
The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with custom parameters. See SpecCustomPredefinedFilters.
Trace Pixel Art (libdepixelize):
A new library developed for Inkscape to automatically vectorize raster images specialized in Pixel Art was integrated in the form of the "Trace Pixel Art" dialog (menu item Path -> Trace Pixel Art...). Good and old general "Trace Bitmap" is still there. Check the supplementary material of the algorithm authors to see a preview of how the algorithm behaves.
Other User Interface:
General:
Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).
Panning the canvas with the Space bar is now always turned on and doesn't require an additional mouse button press to grab the canvas: just press the Space bar and move the mouse pointer to pan the canvas.
Guides:
Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler
Guides can now have labels, and the colour of individual guides can also be set by the user. To label or colour a guide, double click on the guideline to bring up the guide properties dialog.
Menu/Access:
The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with ALT+key in many more dialogs
"Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click)
Menu items renamed
Edit -> Preferences
Edit -> Input Devices

Most dialogs now dockable (including "Object properties", "Object attributes", "Text and Font", "Check spelling", "Export PNG image", "XML editor", "Find/Replace", and "Tiled clones")
New preference to allow Windows users to choose between native and Gtk Open/Save dialog
Preferences dialog cleanup
Document Metadata dialog merged into Document Properties
Simple calculations in spinboxes:
In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations.
Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like 2 + 2 cm. The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.
Configurable Control Handles:
New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.
Translations:
The Keyboard and mouse reference (inkscape-docs project) and the labels of color palettes are now translatable.
New UI translation in Latvian.
New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
New Keyboard and mouse reference translation in Belarusian.
New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. [Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]
Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.
File format support:
New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
New HTML5 Canvas export format
New Visio (VSD) import format, based on libvisio.
New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on libcdr.
XAML export improvements (including a new Silverlight compatible mode).
Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options:
set an image directory in the zip file
add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
The --export-text-to-path option now works with Plain SVG export.
EMF/WMF:
EMF and WMF input and output filters have been completely rewritten and are now cross-platform. It is now possible to copy and paste EMF files between Windows applications running in Wine and a native Linux version of Inkscape.
Gimp XCF:
The Save Background option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each GIMP layer.
The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute
New Resolution option
New Help tab
Some bugs and warnings fixed
PDF:
Bleed/margin: Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.
PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX:
Added the possibility of scaling the image. The calc package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining \svgscale instead of \svgwidth.
The font shape is now also exported. \textit{} for italic text, \textbf{} for bold text, and \textsl{} (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that Arial has an oblique font shape, not italic. Thus, the result in LaTeX will be slanted, instead of italic. It is better to use another font in Inkscape when you want true italics.
Extensions:
Units: Breaking change
Due to the implementation of proper document units, the functions inkex.unittouu and inkex.uutounit had to be modified and moved to the inkex.Effect class.
Unit conversion calls should be replaced with inkex.Effect.unittouu and inkex.Effect.uutounit calls (usually self.unittouu and self.uutounit).
New
The new guillotine extension is used for exporting PNG slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
The new G-code tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
New QR code generator.
New isometric grid generator.
New bitmap crop extension.
New Extract text extension. Outputs a document’s text elements in a chosen order.
New Merge text extension.
New HSL adjust extension.
New Replace font extension.
New N-Up layout extension.
New Voronoï diagram extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
New Interpolate Attribute in a group extension.
New Typography extensions menu.
New Hershey Text extension.
Improvements
Number nodes. New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
Color Markers to Match Stroke extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
Optional sliders added on float and int extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
Extension parameters values (except attributes!) can now be contextualized for translation (with msgctxt).
New sub-menus in the Render menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.
SVG Support:
Rendering of the following properties is now supported (without UI except via XML editor)
clip-rule
color-interpolation-filters: Non-Inkscape filters that specify linearRGB color interpolation will render properly. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use sRGB color interpolation by default.
text-decoration: Underline, strike-through, over line.
text-decoration-line, text-decoration-style: Preliminary support (CSS 3).
paint-order: Allows stroke to be painted under fill; useful for text.
Snapping:
The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked (in the underlying code and in the GUI) to should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, maintain, and find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source
Notable bug fixes:
Images are no longer recompressed when embedding or exporting them. [3]
Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with 0.47).
Many rendering glitches were fixed.
The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (X, Y, width, height) are much more accurately applied.
Inkscape launches faster due to new icon cache (on disk) and improved font loading. (Bug #488247)

Changelog
With the new One-Click Layout service getting a nice layout for your diagrams has become even easier:
Just click the button in the toolbar and let this service analyze your diagram and choose an automatic layout algorithm for you that is then used to arrange your diagram. That's all!
The service takes into account a diagram's structure as well as features like edge routing styles to base its decision on.
One-Click Layout is under ongoing development. With your feedback, we will constantly improve and update this service, independent of yEd releases.)
The new series-parallel layout algorithm lends itself perfectly for a special group of diagrams that often arise in circuit diagrams and flowcharts.
Added a new anonymization tool to remove any identifying information from a diagram.
Improvements:
The maximum number of elements displayed in Local Views is now configurable. [Q&A 298], [Q&A 6108]
Elements within top-level Swimlane Nodes or Table Nodes are properly displayed in Local Views.
The JREs that are installed by the Windows and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_25.
For Mac OS X, there are now two installers available. One for Mac OS X 10.7 or higher (with a bundled JRE 7), the other for OS X 10.8 or higher (with a bundled JRE 8).
Note: Since Java 7 requires Mac OS X 10.7 at least, users of earlier OS X versions should download the yEd Zip archive.
Added sample graphs for the new series-parallel layout.
Bugfixes:
New Features:
The new Remove Node Overlaps tool can be used to automatically move nodes so that overlaps are removed and all nodes have a specified minimum distance.
The Hierarchical layout algorithm features new support for grid placement of nodes and edges.
Also, a new layout option provides stacked placement of nodes within the same layer.
Improvements:
Many improvements related to the connection handling of the One-Click Layout plugin.
The JREs that are installed by the Windows and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_40.
Bugfixes:
Corrected an issue with accessibility settings on Mac OS X reported as java.lang.ClassCastException: y.I.fB cannot be cast to javax.swing.tree.TreeNode
Addressed several problems that could occur when printing from the print preview.
Fixed value handling in the printing settings and export settings dialogs. Zero values and no values are gracefully dealt with now.
Many other bug fixes as well.

Changelog
new:
Implement Photoshop layer styles. Note: this is the first version. Some features are not implemented and we load and save only to Krita’s native file format and ASL style library files (not PSD files yet). There is also still a bug with masks and layer styles
make start up faster by not waiting for the presets to be loaded (startup times are now 30-50% faster )
Big speed improvement when using transform masks and filters. The move tool is about 20% faster.
Reduced the download size of Krita for Windows by 33% (145MB to 97MB). This is the result of cleaning up unused files and fixing translations
And then there are the bug fixes…
Fix the patch count of the color history
Lots of fixes to the layout of docker panels, dialogs and other parts of Krita
Lots of fixes for special widgets when using the Plastique style
Fix issues with resizing the icon size in resource selectors
Fix usability issues in the crop tool (reset size settings after doing cropping)
Add a function to hide docker titlebars
Fix issues with the default settings button
Save memory by not loading or saving texture information for brush presets that don’t use textures
Automatically add a tag based on the filename for all brush tips from Adobe ABR brush collections
Make Export and Save as default to the folder the original file came from
Make it possible to switch off compression for layers in kra files (bigger files, but faster saving)
Disable opening 32 bit float grayscale TIFF files: we don’t support that yet
Fix memory leak when using gradients
Fix color serialization from user interface to GMIC (bug 345639)
Fix crash when toggling GMIC preview checkbox (bug 344058)
Make it possible to re-enable the splash screen
Show the label for the sliders inside the slide, to save space.
Fix HSV options for the grid and spray brush
Don’t show the zoom on-canvas notification while loading an image
Fix many memory leaks
Fix the specific color selector docker so it doesn’t grow too big
Allow the breeze theme to be used on platforms other than KDE
Don’t crash when creating a pattern-filled shape if no pattern is selected (bug 346990)
Fix loading floating point TIFF files (bug 344334)
Fix loading tags for resources from installed bundles
Make it possible to ship default tags for our default resources (bug 338134 — needs more work to create a good default definition)
Remember the last chosen tag in the resource selectors (bug 346703)
Fix bug 346355: don’t say “All presets” in the brush tip selector’s filter

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(http://www.freeware.de/images/screenshots/67443/rastervect_medium_2.gif)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

You can now open multiple documents in Krita.There are two ways you can display documents now: Tabbed and Subwindow. The tabbed mode is the default, but can be changed in the settings. If using subwindows, the windows can be automatically arranged with cascading and tiling. You can also have several views of the same document. This can be helpful when looking at images at different zoom levels or while mirrored.
Finally, you can customize Krita’s background by adding an image or color. This can be configured in the general settings area under Configure Krita.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers.
LibreCAD's features
LibreCAD is a feature-packed and mature 2D-CAD application with some really great advantages:
It's free – no worry about license costs or annual fees.
No language barriers – it's available in a large number of languages, with more being added continually.
GPLv2 public license – you can use it, customize it, hack it and copy it with free user support and developer support from our active worldwide community and our experienced developer team.
LibreCAD is an Open Source community-driven project: development is open to new talent and new ideas, and our software is tested and used daily by a large and devoted user community; you, too, can get involved and influence its future development.
Changelog
Exciting New Features:
DWG read support!
SVG export support!
Arabic Language GUI support. More work is needed for: Right-to-left support for Text entities; Arabic fonts for Text.
More user configurable settings in App Preferences.
Under the hood, there's lots of cleanup and coding style tweaking towards C++11, and the code base should be cleaner for new developers.
There is also lots of GUI and user experience tweaking, mostly following user requests. Clearly, LibreCAD needs help from more developers with the large volume of feature requests and bug reports from our user community.

Changelog
NEW FEATURES:
Tangent Normal Brush Engine:
As is traditional, in September, we release the first Google Summer of Code results. Wolthera’s Tangent Normal Brush engine has already been merged! It’s a specialized feature, for drawing normal maps, as used in 3d engines and games.
Fresh New Icons:
We’ve got a whole new, carefully assembled icon set. All icons are tuned so they work equally well with light and dark themes. And it’s now also possible to choose the size of the icons in the toolbox. If you’ve got a high-dpi screen, make them big, if you’re on a netbook, make them small! All it takes is a right-click on the toolbox. And to round out the improvements to the toolbox, the tooltips now show the keyboard shortcuts you can use to activate a tool and you can show and hide the toolbox from the docker menu.
Improvements to the Wrap-around mode:
Everyone who does seamless textures loves Krita’s unique wraparound mode. And now we’ve fixed two limitations, and you can not just pick colors from anywhere, not just the original central image, but also fill from anywhere!
New Color Space Selector:
Wolthera also added a new dialog for picking the color profile: The Color Profile browser. if you just want to draw without worries, Krita’s default will work for you, of course. But if are curious, or want to go deeper into color management, or have advanced needs then this browser dialog gives you all the details you need to make an informed choice! Krita ships with a large set of carefully tuned ICC profiles. Her extensive notes on when one might prefer to use one or the other are included in the new color profile browser.
Compatibility with the rest of the world:
We improved compatibility with Gimp: Krita can now load group layers, load XCF v3 files and finally load XCF files on Windows, too. Photoshop PSD support always gets attention. We made it possible to load bit/channel CMYK and Grayscale images, ZIP compressed PSD files and improved saving images with a single layer that has transparency to PSD.
Right-click to undo last path point:
You can now right-click in the middle of creating a path to undo the last point.
More things:
The freehand tools’ Stabilizer mode has a new ‘Scalable smoothness’ feature.
You can now merge down Selection Masks
We already had shortcuts to fill your layer or selection with the foreground or background color or the current pattern at 100% opacity. If you press Shift in addition to the shortcut, the currently set painting opacity will be used.
We improved the assistants. You can now use the Shift key to add horizontal snapping to the handles of the straight-line assistants. The same shortcut will snap the third handle of the ellipse assistant to provide perfect circles.
Another assistant improvement: there is now a checkbox to assistant snapping that will make the snapping happen to only the first snapped-to-assistant. This removes snapping issues on infinite assistants while keeping the ability to snap to chained assistants while the checkbox is unticked.
Several brushes were replaced with optimized versions: Basic_tip_default, Basic_tip_soft, Basic_wet, Block_basic, Block_bristles, Block_tilt, Ink_brush_25, Ink_gpen_10, Ink_gpen_25 now are much more responsive.
There is a new and mathematically robust normal map combination blending mode.
Slow down cursor outline updates for randomized brushes: when painting with a brush with fuzzy rotation, the outline looked really noisy before, now it’s smoother and easier to look at.
You can now convert any selection into a vector shape!
We already had a trim image to layer size option, but we added the converse: Trim to Image Size for if your layers are bigger than your image. (Which is easily managed with moving, rotating and so on).
The dodge and burn filter got optimized
Fixes to the Merge Layer functionality: you can use Ctrl+E to merge multiple selected layers, you can merge multiple selected layers with layer styles and merging of clone layers together with their sources will no longer break Krita.
The Color to Alpha filter now works correctly with 16 bits floating point per channel color models.
We added a few more new shortcuts: scale image to new size using CTRL+ALT+I, resize canvas with CTRL+ALT+C, create group kayer is CTRL+G, and feather selection = SHIFT+F6.
FIXED BUGS:
We resolved more than 150 bugs for this release. Here’s a highlight of the most important bug fixes! Some important fixes have to do with loading bundles. This is now more robust, but you might have problems with older bundle files. We also redesigned the Clone and Stamp brush creation dialogs. Look for the buttons in the predefined brush-tip tab of the brush editor. There are also performance optimizations, memory leak fixes and more:
BUG: 351599 Fix abr (photoshop) brush loading
BUG:343615 Remember the toolbar visibility state when switching to canvas-only
BUG:338839 Do not let the wheel zoom if there are modifiers pressed
BUG:347500 Fix active layer activation mask
Remove misleading error message after saving fails
BUG 350289 : Prevent Krita from loading incomplete assistant.
BUG:350960 Add ctrl-shift-s as default shortcut for “Save As” on Windows.
Fix the Bristle brush presets
Fix use normal map checkbox in the bumpmap filter UI.
Fix loading the system-set monitor profile when using colord
When converting between linear light sRGB and gamma corrected sRGB, automatically uncheck the “Optimize” checkbox in the colorspace conversion dialog.
BUG:351488 Do not share textures when that’s not possible. This fixes showing the same image in two windows on two differently profiled monitors.
BUG:351488 Update the display profile when moving screens. Now Krita will check whether you moved your window to another monitor, and if it detects you did that, recalculate the color correction if needed.
Update the display profile after changing the settings — you no longer need to restart Krita after changing the color management settings.
BUG:351664 Disable the layerbox if there is no open image, fixing a crash that could happen if you right-clicked on the layerbox before opening an image.
BUG:351548 Make the transform tool work with Pass Through group layers
BUG:351560 Make sure a default KoColor is black and transparent (fixes the default color settings for color fill layers)
Lots of memory leak fixes
BUG:351497 Blacklist “photoshop”:DateCreated” when saving. Photoshop adds a broken metadata line to JPG images that gave trouble when saving an image that contained a JPG created in Photoshop as a layer to Krita’s native file format.
Ask for a profile when loading 16 bits PNG images, since Krita assumes linear light is default for 16 bits per channel RGB images.
Improve the performance of most color correction filters
BUG:350498 Work around encoding issues in kzip: images with a Japanese name now load correctly again.
BUG:348099 Better error messages when exporting to PNG.
BUG:349571 Disable the opacity setting for the shape brush. It hasn’t worked for about six years now.
Improve the Image Recovery dialog by added some explanations.
BUG:321361 Load resources from nested directories
Do not use a huge amount of memory to save the pre-rendered image to OpenRaster or KRA files.
BUG:351298 Fix saving CMYK JPEG’s correctly and do not crash saving 16 bit CMYK to JPEG
BUG:351195 Fix slowdown when activating “Isolate Layer” mode
Fix loading of selection masks
BUG:345560 Don’t add the files you select when creating a File Layer to the recent files list.
BUG:351224 Fix crash when activating Pass-through mode for a group with transparency mask
BUG:347798 Don’t truncate fractional brush sizes on eraser switch
Don’t add new layers to a locked group layer
Transform invisible layers if they are part of the group
BUG:345619 Allow Drag & Drop of masks

Many fixes and a UI redesign for the Stamp and Clipboard brush creation dialogs
BUG:351185 Make it possible to select layers in a pass-through group using the R shortcut.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden.

Pixia is a powerful graphics editor with a unique user interface. When learning Pixia, it's easier to discard everything you know about Photoshop or Paintshop, and start from scratch with the tutorials and help files.
Changelog
New! Pixia 64 bit ver. 6.02a
Now 64 bit version of Pixia is out. It runs only on 64 bit environment of Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 so cannot be installed on Windows 7 or any 32bit versions of Windows, but it operates much faster than 32bit Pixia.
This is, however, a sort of experiment, since it does not contain all the filters 32bit Pixia has, nor does TWAIN work properly yet.
Also, please note that 32bit filters will not work with this 64bit program, so importing the filters from 32bit Pixia may lead to malfunctioning. (17 Oct. 2015)
Pixia ver. 6.02a
Fixed a bug where 1x1 size pen did not draw a line. - ver. 6.02a (17 Aug., 2015)

This version fixed a problem of drawn lines becoming unstable on some circumstances. - ver. 6.01t (3 Feb. 2015)
The problem to cause a fatal error of the program when it is used with the View Control window closed has been fixed on this version. - ver. 6.01s (2 Feb. 2015)

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

Windows users: builds are back, but only for Win64 due to an upstream build bug (Alexpux/MINGW-packages#845) which is causing the Win32 build to fail.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

Now 64 bit version of Pixia is out. It runs only on 64 bit environment of Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 so cannot be installed on Windows 7 or any 32bit versions of Windows, but it operates much faster than 32bit Pixia.
This is, however, a sort of experiment, since it does not contain all the filters 32bit Pixia has, nor does TWAIN work properly yet.
Also, please note that 32bit filters will not work with this 64bit program, so importing the filters from 32bit Pixia may lead to malfunctioning. (17 Oct. 2015)

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(https://www.kaldata.com/images/news/logos/rastervect_free_edition.jpg)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Changelog
Krita 3.0 is finally here! Releasing round version-number releases is always exciting for any kind of project. It’s like the start of a new beginning! And 3.0 presents a lot of new beginnings to us as well: First, we have now our own repository, for our code, as well as our own wiki, for the manual! So we started this release with a Spring-cleaning: Porting to Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5, necessary to keep Krita easy to maintain in the future. But also cleaning out the code. We removed lines of dustbunny code and reorganized all the files. We also started work on making OSX a first-class platform for Krita, but though we’ve already done lots of work, that is still a work in progress.
And of course, rewriting the core rendering system, for what you have all been waiting for. If you haven’t already, check out the Krita 3.0 Video Review from GDQuest…
You can now do proper frame-by-frame animation in Krita. Multiple layers, all sorts of playback speeds, onion skinning, on top of all of Krita’s existing paint tools:
It’s enough to make any animator’s fingers itch!
nimatable raster layers – Animated raster images with frames, and use the time-line docker to order them. Works in all color spaces and depths as well!
Onion skinning – This allows you to have an overlay of the previous and next frames, an important assistant when going from rough animation to smooth animation!
Importing image sequence – Import any set of images as an animated layer, automatically sorted by naming scheme.
Exporting image sequence – Export the whole animation as an image sequence, for further processing in other programs.
New dockers – timeline docker, animation docker, and animation workspace
CSV import and export – for layered animation, for use with TV-paint, or Blender via a plugin, courtesy of Laszlo Fazekas
Spriter scml exporter – Make the base image in Krita and then export it to this powerful cut-out animation tool for games.
Faster, Stronger, Instant:
It is easy to make a timeline docker, but it’s not easy to have fast playback, and we know that animation in Krita would just be a gimmick without real-time playback. Therefore speeding up was paramount!
Caching for Animation playback – Proper animation playback, in all sorts of frame-rates, relative speed-ups
Instant Preview for Big canvases! – Utilizing the power of OpenGL 3.0 you can now draw smoothly with 1000 pixel width brushes!
Frame dropping – For slower devices, we implemented frame-dropping, so that you can always see your animation at real-time speed!
FASTER LAYER WORKFLOW:
More Layer Actions:
Simplified merging – One hotkey to rule them all!
Multi-Layer Mania – Krita 2.9 had multi-layer selection and dragging and dropping. We spent this release expanding this functionality with moving, on canvas-selecting, merging, duplicating and more!
Quick select layers – Select All/Visible/Locked layers, or select them on-canvas via Shift+R+Click
Mass editing layer properties – Instantly rename multiple layers, or change their blending mode, or opacity, or any other property.
Group multiple layers – Or create Clipping Groups or just ungrouping with hotkeys.
User Interface Improvements for Layer Management:
We spent a long time discussing the most important parts to managing layers and what needs to be seen. From this, we updated the entire layers docker. This new look comes with some additional functionality.
Clearer Layers – Condensed layers means you can see more at a time
Color Coding – Right-clicking a layer gives you the ability to color code a layer
Filter layers by color – You can choose to only see all blue layers, or green layers, or only blue and green layers with layer filtering.
SHORTCUT IMPROVEMENTS:
Switch Shortcut Layout – If you are familiar with Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI’s shortcuts, you can switch the shortcut system. Accessed from the Settings → Configure Shortcuts.
Saving and loading shortcut schemes – Share you shortcuts with friends and collegues!
A better shortcut layout – Short cuts are now grouped!
Selection shortcuts switch – There is a new setting in the preferences that allow you to switch the Alt and Control modifiers for the selection shortcuts
Luminance based hotkeys – The Lighter and Darker actions are now color managed and use true luminance where ever possible.
Redder/Greener/Bluer/Yellower/Hue/Saturation Hotkeys – New configurable actions for modifying a color’s hue, saturation, making it redder, greener, bluer and yellower.
Grids, Guides and Snapping:
Grids and Guides docker – A Unified docker for grids and guides!
Customize the look of Grids and Guides – Toggle Grid and Guide visibility separate and edit their look!
Grids and Guides saved per document – None of this global grid nonsense, and you can now set-up templates.
Snapping – The vast majority of tools now support snapping to grids and guides.
Fast access to snap-settings! – snap-settings pop up on Shift+S.
User Interface:
Improved popup palette – for easier reading of the preset-icons
Compacter New Document Screen – The new document menu has been modified to fit on tiny laptop screens.
The color space browser heavily improved – you can now get feedback about color lookup table profiles like those of the CMYK space as well as their Tone Response/Reproduction/Transfer curve.
Loading screen – Krita now shows you what it is loading on the start-up screen!
Improved GUI – The Crop tool, Assistant editing tool and the Straight line tool got an improved user interface, and the Straight line tool’s on-canvas preview has been improved as well.
Filters:
Gradient map filter – It wasn’t planned, but Spencer Brown surprised us all and added it! It is still in progress, so temporarily disabled for the filterlayers.
More Models for the HSV adjustment filter – HSV adjustment now supports HSI, HSY and YCrCb for the model
Multi-threading with G’MIC – Make use of all your processor cores for all those fancy G’MIC filters. G’MIC is also a lot more stable now.
Other changes:
Added “Greater” blending mode – change the way you paint on transparent layers (example shown to the side)! Made by Nicolas Guttenberg’s dedicated tinkering!
GBR and GIH import/export – Gimp’s brush format can now be saved and opened directly by Krita. You don’t have to rely on the make-brush menu in the predefined brush-tab.
Move Tool Improvements – Move layer content with arrow keys, and configure the increments in all important unit-sizes!
True luminance in the advanced selector – The HSY space color pickers are now linearised before their luma is crunched. The Gamma can be manually configured, making this picker possible to give true luminosity!
Smoother Color Smudge – Improved the smoothness of the color smudge strokes in dulling mode.
New pixel art presets – No need to create your own now.
New cursor options – Added a single pixel black and white. For those who REALLY need precision.
Removed the grids tool and the perspective grid tool. You can use the perspective grid assistant for the latter, and even get more features. For the grid tool we have replaced it with the grids and guides docker!
Added zoom and pan tools! – These tools revived themselves during the port, and we let them be for those preferring these tools separately
Improved Learning and Education:
New manual website! – Pressing F1 now takes you to the new learning area on Krita.org. This has more information and should be a better resource for answering your issues. It includes a type-ahead search as well as a static navigation on the left.
Technology Upgrade:
For 3.0, we had the QT5 and KF5 port, but that is not the only thing we changed:
Renewed Tablet Handling – We rewrote the entire tablet and input system, supporting a wide variety of drawing tablets using Qt5 now.
Linux AppImages – Now different Linux users can have the latest version without waiting on their distribution repository updates.
Changing Compilers for Windows – We are building and cross-compiling with MinGW instead of MSVC now. This will allow us to use VC 1.2 (a math library for speed) in the future, but more importantly, make a stable, multi-threaded version of G’MIC, and the ability to import and export PDFs with the poppler library. With this change, we aren’t able to use MSVC any longer.
Faster startup time – More resources are loaded and managed internally. This means faster start times.
Building Instructions – Improved building instructions for developers and technology enthusiasts.
Build Krita on Windows and OSX – Building Krita from the source code is easier than ever. It was significantly more difficult in Krita 2.9. The instructions are in the 3rd party folder in the source code for how to do it. We even have artists building on Windows!

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(https://www.kaldata.com/images/news/logos/rastervect_free_edition.jpg)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
As a stable branch release, this version is fully compatible with all 1.0.x versions, including future ones. Although this is a bugfix focused release, two interesting new features are introduced:
Session templates allow you to prepopulate a server with sessions. Once a template session ends, it resets to its initial state and continues to be available for joining. (See dedicated server help page for more info.)
Chat message pinning lets you pin a message to the chat window so it is always visible. For example, “/pin Visit drawpile.net” will attach “Visit drawpile.net” to the top of the chat box. Currently, only one message can be pinned at a time and only session operators can pin messages.
This is also the first version for which official Linux binaries packaged with AppImage are provided. In the future, I am also planning on providing Flatpaks.
Other changes in this version are:
Bugfix: the save dialog now remebers the last used path
Compatiblity with new miniupnpc library version
Fixed selection content stretching if selection was partially outside the canvas
Fixed saving of last edited keyboard shortcut in preferences dialog
Removed default canvas size limit
Recording buffer is now periodically flushed to minimize data loss in case of a crash
Selection mirror & flip buttons now automatically cut the selection
Flipbook playback range can now be selected

NEW FEATURES:
Added import support for the GraphML file format variants of our commercial yFiles diagramming libraries yFiles for Java 3.x, yFiles for JavaFX, yFiles.NET, yFiles WPF, and yFiles for HTML. With the yFiles for HTML format in particular, import of GraphML files written by the yEd Live web application is also supported.
As a new option, the Hierarchical layout algorithm can take the thickness of an edge into account when calculating a layout for a diagram. Diagrams with thick edges in them can become wider and taller.
As a new option, the Hierarchical layout algorithm can interpret edge direction according to the arrowhead.
The integrated labeling in the Hierarchical layout algorithm places edge labels that specify a preferred placement at their source node or at their target node directly beside that node.
Applying the Label Placement algorithm is now animated. Also, its execution can be canceled if it takes too long.
IMPROVEMENTS:
Additional sample node representations for nodes and group nodes in the 'Shape Nodes' and 'Group Nodes' palette section.
The JREs that are installed by the Windows, Mac, and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_92.

Pixia 32bit :
Fixed is a bug where dragging with SHIFT key down did not constrain proportions when expanding/shrinking an image or a selection.
64 bit version of Pixia only had WIA interface for scanners and cameras since TWAIN was originally designed for 32bit, but this version is now capable of utilizing TWAIN interface as well as WIA. Also fixed is a bug where dragging with SHIFT key down did not constrain proportions when expanding/shrinking an image or a selection.

CAD-optimiertes Werkzeug zum Vektorisieren gerasterter Vorlagen
(https://www.kaldata.com/images/news/logos/rastervect_free_edition.jpg)
RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

This release already contains the first results of the 2016 Google Summer of Code projects, as well as kickstarter-funded features.
Tweak Brush settings in the pop-up palette:
Tweak your brush without having to go into the brush editor. Each brush engine has its own settings to tweak. Use the small arrow icon to toggle this on and off. You can even configure which properties are shown.
Soft Proofing:
See how your artwork will look like when converting to CMYK. There is an additional “out of gamut” display to show you what color data will be getting lost. The first result of Wolthera’s Google Summer of Code 2016 work!
Improved Mirror Tools:
Additional options for the mirror tools. Lock the position so you don’t accidently move it. Hide the line so it doesn’t get in the way while painting. Move to center if you accidently move it while painting.
Threshold and Wavelet Decompose Added:
Added a Threshold filter and a Wavelet Decompose plugin.
Quick Flip and Rotate buttons:
Quickly flip or rotate your layers and selections with the free transform tool. No more -100% width transformations. Buttons exist for flipping vertical or horizontal, rotating clock wise or counter clock wise rotate.

Other New or Improved Features:
Smarter input boxes that can accept simple maths! Unit conversion is still coming!
Per-stroke fuzziness sensor, called “Fuzzy: Stroke”, perfect for all those grassblades that need to be subtly different.

New renderer!. Milton can now handle much more complex paintings.
This new version needs a machine that supports OpenGL 3.2. If you are on an older integrated card, or if for any reason your machine does not have support, Milton will tell you and exit.
There are a bunch of bugfixes. All of them should be in the github issue tracker under the 1.2.6 label.
Since the new renderer is OpenGL-based and this is its first time in the wild, things might explode / not work correctly. Please report issues! :)

Changelog
Pressure of the tablet pen can be reflected on the size of bitmap pens now. - ver. 6.03c (3 Nov. 2016)
Undo and Redo did not work properly since previously 64bit Pixia only used physical memory for fast speed. Now this version utilizes vertual memory for storing history files so undo and redo function correctly. - ver. 6.03a (2 Sep. 2016)
A revised installer containing PNG save module is uploaded. (20 Sep. 2016)
64 bit version of Pixia only had WIA interface for scanners and cameras since TWAIN was originally designed for 32bit, but this version is now capable of utilizing TWAIN interface as well as WIA. Also fixed is a bug where dragging with SHIFT key down did not constrain proportions when expanding/shrinking an image or a selection. - ver. 6.02u (20 Aug. 2016)
The image browser, Pixexp, which was not working has been fixed. - The installer is replaced with a new one but the version number of Pixia stays the same.(23 Aug. 2016)
A file for Pixexp was missing so it caused a fatal error; a revised installer with the file is uploaded. (26 Aug. 2016)
The side switch of the tablet pen did not function as the alternative of right button of the mouse. Now it does. - ver. 6.02s (16 Jun. 2016)
Bugs found in the Selection Tool and Magnifier Tool have been fixed. (Certain procedure caused a fatal error.) - ver. 6.02r (15 Jun. 2016)
A bug found in the tablet setting has been fixed. (A certain combination of procedure caused a fatal error.) - ver. 6.02q (14 Apr. 2016)
Filters increased. Some functions are tuned for faster speed (x1.5 ~ 3): Color Adjustment, Tone Balance, Brightness and Contrast, Automatic Adjustment, Color Balance. If you choose "Fast" at Anti-Alias of Advanced Option in Preference dialog, the speed of brush stroke can now be as fast as that of Pixia ver. 4. A bug that Undo function of filter did not work is fixed. - ver. 6.02p (9 Apr. 2016)
A bug found in the magnifier tool to cause a fatal error is fixed. - ver. 6.02m (2 Apr. 2016)
Uploaded is a revised installer containing Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64). (28 Mar. 2016)
The program is redesigned to optimize multi core processors. Now this version works three times as fast as previous versions. (This version requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) runtime. If you encounter an error message saying "Vcom120.dll is missing", please download the x64 version of VC++2013 runtime file and install it.) - ver. 6.02j (23 Mar. 2016)
The program has become compatible with Wacom's new technology, Active ES. - ver. 6.02h (22 Feb. 2016)
The Selection tools have been tuned to work faster, and now new functions are added: Mirror Drawings (Horizontal and Vertical) under Paint menu. - ver. 6.02f (3 Feb., 2016)
Now 64 bit version of Pixia is out. It runs only on 64 bit environment of Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 so cannot be installed on Windows 7 or any 32bit versions of Windows, but it operates much faster than 32bit Pixia.
This is, however, a sort of experiment, since it does not contain all the filters 32bit Pixia has, nor does TWAIN work properly yet.
Also, please note that 32bit filters will not work with this 64bit program, so importing the filters from 32bit Pixia may lead to malfunctioning. (17 Oct. 2015)
It has been found that the file set lacked one important file without which saving pxa format caused a fatal error. A new installer with the file equipped has bee uploaded. (2 Dec. 2015)

Full Support for OSX
Julian Thijssen’s Google Summer of code project for 2016 gives us the power to run openGL on OSX! This was the biggest blocker for full OSX support!
OpenGL is a special type of code that allows us to use your graphics card for operations like rotating, zooming and panning the canvas. Graphics cards are typically super good at this, meaning it makes the canvas really fast, no matter what kind of image you have before you. Apple devices are super picky about which version of OpenGL they can run, so Julian had to rewrite a part of QT to upgrade it all to openGL 3, ensuring our OSX users can finally enjoy Krita without bizare glitches when navigating!
Render Animation
Finally, you can now export your animations to the following animation formats: animated GIF, MP4, MKV, OGG, giving a range of small sized files for your favourite blogging site to high quality formats to show off on your favourite video sharing site!
This requires the ffmpeg library.
Animation Curves and Opacity
Jouni Pentikäinen Google Summer of code project has been merged as well! Its biggest feature is the ground work laid for automated tweening of properties. There is now a animation curves docker to allow making opacity tweens, and we hope to allow transformation mask tweens in the future! Documentation here.
But that is not all! Other raster like layers like filter layers, fill layers, transparency masks and filter masks can now have their raster content animated, allowing for raster animating transparency or a filter effect! Furthermore, you can now color code frames, which can be used to mark the most important frames in an animation, so you can find them back more easily.
New Internal Color Picker
Thanks to Wolthera’s Google Summer of Code work, Krita now has a new internal color selector for selecting wide-gamut values! This means that you can finally break free from the limited gamut of your screen(sRGB) and use wide gamut spaces. Other features include easy access to the palette and the ability to type in HDR values in floating space without any extra toggles and buttons. You can access this new dialog from the current color patch in the toolbar. Furthermore, the pop-up palette will also grant access to this new selector, if you enable it by adding the popuppalette/usevisualcolorselector=true line to the kritarc configuration file.
The other color selector dockers are untouched for now, but hopefully they’ll be able to be extended in the same way soon!
New Quick Brush Engine
In the ever continuing quest for speed on big documents, we developed the quick brush engine! One of the ways how a brush engine can be super slow is due to all the extra options available. Removing those and changing the way how we calculate brushes, gives a sharp edged, extremely simple but super fast brush that doesn’t require openGL 3.1 but can tackle high resolution canvases with ease!
Stop-Based Gradient Editor
Sven Langkamp brought us a secret suprise in the form of a stop-based gradient editor! Krita’s segment based gradient editor is based on Gimp’s model, but the stopbased format is far more common and easier to understand!
Lazy Brush/Colorize Mask
The lazy/brush colorize mask feature is technically complete, but it’s too slow to be useful in practice. We need a different algorithm… But if you want to play with it, you can enable it by adding the following line to your kritarc configuration file:
disableColorizeMaskFeature=false
Other New Features
Create a stroke around your selection (https://docs.krita.org/Stroke_Selection)
Halftone filter added. Find it in the main menu: Filters > Artistic.
add a new Eraser Switch Opacity feature, similar to the Eraser Switch Size one.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.
Whats new: >>
"Solids" conversion method has been improved.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.

Changelog
RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS:
Mesh Gradients are now supported.
Many SVG2 and CSS3 properties are now supported (e.g. paint-order, mix-blend-mode). Not all are available from the GUI.
The new Object dialog allows to select, label, hide and lock any object in the drawing from a dialog that lists them all
Selection sets make it possible to 'group' objects together regardless of document structure
Guides can now be locked to avoid accidental movement
Several new path effects have been added, among them Envelope/Perspective, Lattice Deformation, Mirror and Rotate Copies
There are several new extensions (e.g. a seamless pattern extension) and a new filter (colorblindness simulation) included in the release, many old extensions have been updated or got new features
Spray tool and measure tool received a set of nifty new features
Interactive smoothing for lines created with the Pencil tool
BSplines (and more) are available for the Pen tool
Checkerboard background can be used to more easily see object transparencies
IMPORTANT CHANGES:
The default resolution was changed from 90dpi to 96dpi, to match the CSS standard. For more background information, please see the Wiki article about handling of units in Inkscape. Inkscape 0.92 will attempt to identify 'legacy' Inkscape files that need to be converted.
For developers and packagers, the switch from autotools to CMake is a relevant change (users who do not compile their own version will not be affected). While the old system is still available for 0.92, it is now also possible to compile Inkscape using CMake
MANIPULATING OBJECTS:
Objects Dialog:
New dialog for manipulating the object tree.
Drag and drop reordering of objects.
Lock, and hide one or more items.
Use Ctrl+F to search for an item.

Ability to change highlight color of objects.
Ability to set blend mode per object.
Imported from Ponyscape
Selection Sets Dialog:
New dialog that allows the creation of selection sets that are not affected by document structure.
TEXT:
Font Features:
It is now possible to take advantage of OpenType tables to select alternative glyphs from a font. For this, a third tab ('Variants') has been added to the 'Text and Font' dialog. Note that browser support is still limited. Inkscape must also be linked with a recent version of the Pango library.
Vertical Text:
Support for vertical text layout has been improved.
Accessibility:
Converting text to a path will save the text in the 'aria-label' attribute. This is useful for accessibility and could eventually be used by Inkscape to reconstruct the text.
Line Spacing:
Line spacing in Inkscape now follows the CSS standard for the 'line-height' property.
LIVE PATH EFFECTS:
Now some suitable LPEs can be applied to clips and masks.
Helper lines come again to life.
The option to add a bend path directly was added to the pen/pencil shape combo box.
PEN / BEZIER TOOL:
New shortcut to automatically close a path when it is being drawn: Shift + Enter
SPRAY TOOL:
New eraser mode
More pressure toggles added
"No overlap" option with optional multiple elements
"No overlap" option between different background colors
Configurable offset for overlaps
Color picker from center or average area
Apply picked color to fill
Apply picked color to stroke
Invert picked colors

Spray over non-transparent background areas
Makes use of "Trace the drawing" options from Tiled Clones dialog
MEASURE TOOL:
Measure is kept until a new one is made (only visible when using measure tool)
Repositioning of origin/end
Convert to object
Convert to guides
Add just the distance measurement, consisting of editable text and a line indicating start and end
Display a 'phantom measurement' temporarily to be able to compare two measurements
Reverse origin/end
Measure global
Measure only current layer
Change precision
GRADIENT TOOL:
To accomodate for keyboards that do not have an Insert key, the keyboard combination Shift+I can now also be used to insert a new stop into a gradient.
ALIGN AND DISTRIBUTE:
NEW: drop-down chooser with options to align nodes relative to each other in node editing mode.
IMPORT / EXPORT:
Export PDF / EPS / PS
Export Optimized SVG
Export to PNG
EXTENSIONS:
New:
Render > Seamless Pattern (Screencast)
Images > Set Image Attributes (Bug #1357808, can be used to fix the scaling problem of raster images in SVGs created with previous Inkscape versions)
Render > NiceCharts (github repo, not maintained)
Arrange > Deep Ungroup (Bug #171117)
Plotter Driver:
Multiple Pens
Serial Connection
HPGL Export:
The HPGL export (File -> Save as -> HP Grafics Language file) has now the same multiple pens feature as the #Plotter Driver.
HPGL Import:
The HPGL import (File -> Open -> Select .hpgl file) can now import multiple pens into corresponding layers, see #Plotter Driver for more information.
PDF Import:
The image 'interpolate' value is now used to determine how to display bitmaps (interpolated or blocky).
Miscellaneous Improvements:
Arrange > Restack has new options to reverse and shuffle the z-order of selected objects.
Render > Random Tree has new option to omit redundant segments.
Visualize Path > Measure Path has additional text layout options.
Render > Barcode was updated with new EAN2 code and extended EAN13 with automatic EAN2 and EAN5 additions
Color > Randomize now allows to set the range for randomization, and (with some limits) can now also randomize opacity
Modify Path > Jitter nodes was partially rewritten and now also supports Pareto and Log-Normal distributions.
Extension Development:
It is now possible for an extension to retrieve a list of selected nodes (See Bug #171287 for an example extension).
FILTERS / BLEND MODES:
New Filters:
Color > Color Blindness filter allows to simulate different color blindness conditions.
New Blend Modes:
Blend Modes can now be applied to single objects as well as to layers. In addition to the previously available modes 'Multiply',
'Screen', 'Darken' and 'Lighten', the following modes are now available:
Overlay
Color Dodge
Color Burn
Hard Light
Soft Light
Difference
Exclusion
Hue
Saturation
Color
Luminosity
OTHER DIALOGS:
Document Properties: Licences:
All selectable licences have been updated to most current version.
Filter Editor:
Filter list now displays how often a filter is used.
MENUS:
'Resize page to selection' added to Edit menu, shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+R
'Pop selection out of group' available in context menu of objects which are part of a group, when the group has been entered, and via the 'Objects' menu. It will move the object up by one level in the grouping hierarchy.
'Create Clip Group' from context menu groups the selected objects and clips that group with a clone of itself. This allows for quick creation of, for example, inset shadows.
OTHER USER INTERFACE:
Node Snapping:
Snapping in the node tool has been improved:
When double clicking to insert new nodes, the position of these new nodes will snap to for example path intersections and to path-guide intersections
When grabbing a segment of a path and dragging it to deform it, the pointer will now snap
Checkerboard Background:
It is now possible to use a checkerboard background when editing. This allows one to clearly see the transparency of objects. (See "Page" tab of the "Document Properties" dialog.)
View Box:
One can now set the SVG 'viewBox' attribute from the GUI. This attribute sets the scale of the drawing by determining the real-world value of the SVG user unit (pixel size).
Lock Guides:
Now guides can be locked and unlocked globally or individually.
Panning:
Panning with space bar can now be deactivated in the Preferences (uncheck Behavior > Scrolling > Mouse Move pans when Space is pressed).
SVG AND CSS:
The 'marker-orientation' property now recognizes units ('deg', 'rad', 'grad' and 'turn').
The new SVG 2 'context-fill' and 'context-stroke' properties are implemented which allows the auto-matching of arrowhead fill color to path stroke color.
The new SVG 2 marker orientation attribute value 'auto-start-reverse' is implemented. This allows one arrow marker to be used for both ends of a path.
The new CSS 3 'mix-blend-mode' and 'isolation' properties are implemented, allowing setting the blend mode between objects without using filters.
The new SVG 2 'paint-order' property is now supported. This allows setting the order in which the fill, stroke, and markers are drawn (see the 'Stroke style' tab in the 'Fill and Stroke' dialog).
The SVG 1.2/SVG 2 'vector-effect' property's 'non-scaling-stroke' value is now supported. This will keep the stroke width fixed regardless of the zoom factor.
The new SVG 2 'mesh' paint server is supported, including bicubic auto-smoothing. A primitive GUI is available.
The SVG 1.1 'text-decoration' property is now rendered (underlines, strike through, etc.). CSS 3 'text-decoration' properties are also rendered.
The new SVG 2 'hatch' paint server is now supported.
The CSS 'white-space' property is now supported. Use of this property was added in SVG 2 to replace the now deprecated 'xml:space' attribute.
The SVG 1.1 'textLength" and 'textAdjust' attributes are implemented, however, there is no GUI for these attributes.
Rendering of the Component Transfer filter primitive has been corrected.
Units are now recognized in the text and tspan 'x', 'y', 'dx', and 'dy' attributes.
Percentage values are now interpreted correctly for shapes.
New SVG 2 and CSS 3 features are generally not enabled in the GUI until widespread support in browsers.
NEW DEPENDENCIES:
The Paintbucket and Trace Bitmap tools now use an external copy of the Potrace library
TRANSLATIONS:
New UI translations for Assamese, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Icelandic, Kannada, Kashmiri (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari), Konkani (Latin and Devanagari scripts), Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri (Meetei Mayek and Bengali scripts), Marathi, Odia, Santali (Devanagari and Ol-Chiki scripts), Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Urdu (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts). Many other translatins have been updated and improved.
NOTABLE BUG FIXES:

Changelog
Additions:
Added support for blue neutral faces for BFC.
Added "Right Side Up" feature, along with "Keep Right Side Up" setting while in fly-through mode.
Added support for menu item images in Windows on OSes prior to Windows Vista. (Menu item images already worked on Vista and later.)
Added scale selection to STL export. (Previously it was always cm.)
Updated Mac version to support pinch gesture for zooming and three-finger swipe gesture for panning.
Added support of openSUSE Build Service
Updates:
Updated "Random colors" setting to avoid BFC face highlight colors enabled under BFC (green front faces, red back faces, and blue neutral faces), but only if they are enabled.
Updated transparency sorting to use less memory during initialization.
Updated highlighting in the model tree to work better on sub-geometry of the selected line that has hard-coded colors (not color 16).
Updated HTML Parts List for improved printing.
Disable transparency when one or more of the red back faces, green front faces, or blue neutral faces options is enabled, and BFC is enabled.
Update POV export to improve generated file.
Updated code to be compatible with Qt 5.x
No longer require BASE install package on initial LDraw library install, since it is no longer present in ptreleases.cgi.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed crash when taking a snapshot using a video card without Frame Buffer Object support.
Fixed detection of LDConfig.ldr on case-sensitive file systems (Linux).
Fixed zoom to fit to ignore conditional control points when they aren't set to be drawn.
Fixed rare bug where a recent filename getting truncated to fit in the menu could cause memory corruption.
Fixed crash related to BFC INVERTNEXT.
Fixed menu item images when running in Vista and later with visual styles in LDView disabled.
Fixed crash in POV export when triangles or quads were in the file with points less than .001 LDraw Units apart (but greater than 0 units).
Fixed bug where sloped LGEO bricks would use the _slope version of the color even if it was a color not directly supported by LGEO, and therefore without a corresponding _slope color definition. This would result in a POV error.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.
License: Open Source
Changelog
BINARIES:
Windows users can run the installers below. Please uninstall all old versions of MyPaint before you do this, especially if you're about to install over an existing location. You shouldn't lose your settings or scraps if your old install is normal. Use “Add or Remove Programs” to do the removal(s), and make backups of your important files if you're worried.
Alternatively, please try the standalone zipfile bundles. These need to be unpacked somewhere before they can be used, for example onto a portable USB drive, and the integration with Windows is more limited.
Users of Ubuntu or its derivatives can add the MyPaint-Testing PPA as a software repository, and they'll then receive automatic updates.
For other operating systems, please contact your friendly maintainers and ask them to make fresh builds from these sources.
BUGS:
(Windows only) this build contains GTK 3.22.7, a large increment which fixes a lot of graphics tablet bugs and crashes.
(Windows only) we have changed the installer again (sorry!). Please use “Add and Remove Programs” to remove previously installed versions of MyPaint before installing 1.2.1. Your settings and brushes will be retained.
(Windows only) MyPaint no longer supports floating panel windows (too many bugs upstream, sorry). They must be docked into a sidebar at all times.
Removing the Favourites group makes the brush menu unusable (#706, #641)
CHANGES SINCE 1.2.0-beta.1:
Make sure layer clones get selected immediately.
Fix hypersensitive tab drags.
Fix accelerator mapping sort order.
Fix exceptions when loading a corrupt thumbnail during thumb updates.
Fix GTK removing the main canvas widget.
BrushManager: use UUIDs for device brush names, backwards-compatibly.
Fix repeated pixbuflist redraws.
Wayland: remove references to cursors that don't exist.
Windows: drop support for floating windows till upstream support's OK.
Windows: new installer mechanism, see the note above.
Windows build: now includes a debug launcher, and GTK3-Demo for testing that your tablet will work.
Windows build: MyPaint is now usefully pinnable to the taskbar.

Milton is an Open Source painting program that's easy to use and allows you to "Just Paint." There are no pixels; you can paint with (almost) infinite detail. It feels raster-based, but it works with vectors.
The application is under 2 megabytes and simple to use. There are still quite a few options including backgrounds, eraser, brush options, layers, opacity and more. There is no save button to worry about as your work is persistent and you can undo at any time.

Krita 3.1.2, released on February 1st 2017, is the first bugfix release in the 3.1 release series. But there are a few extra new features thrown in for good measure!

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

New features include:
File backed sessions (replaces session hibernation)
GUI for adding and removing session announcements
GUI for setting an operator password
GUI for viewing session event log
Session settings are now shown in a dialog window

This version also introduced another few protocol changes, making it incompatible with beta2. The dptxt text format was also overhauled. This unfortunately breaks compatibility with all existing dptxt files. However, the new format is easier to read and more future proof, meaning files made with the new version should remain compatible with almost all future versions.

Changelog
This release fixes some more bugs and restores some UI features. If you’ve been holding back from the 2.0 series because of the missing brush choice buttons, this is the release for you!
This release introduces the following changes to the UI:
Brush selection buttons (1-5) are back!
Brushes and the tools that use them are now decoupled: any brush can now be used with any tool
Any brush can now be switched into eraser mode
Consequently, the Pen, Brush, Watercolor and Eraser tools have been merged into a single Freehand tool. Which mode it works in now depends on the selected brush.
The maligned tool preset pie menu is now replaced with a brush preset dock
Restored ‘X’ shortcut key to swap between primary/alternative colors
Smoother behavior now matches version 1.0.6
This release also fixes many bugs:
Fixed application crash when merging layers
Fixed invisibly locked layers (strokes would disappear after drawing)
Fixed empty canvas after reset (caused by mixing of non-reset and reset messages during auto-reset)
Fixed missing ctrl/alt modifiers when using a tablet stylus
Fixed server crash when a new user joins
Fixed lockup when squishing selections
Fixed “connection error” when username contains non-ASCII characters (server AppImage specific bug)
Session timeout setting now works as it should

DreamPlan is a user-friendly application that gives you a really good way to create a 3D plan of your design project, in just a few steps.
It has a simple, fully featured interface that houses a few different tabs that correspond to the different operations you can perform; 'Building', 'Exterior', 'Interior' and 'Landscaping'.
The ‘Building’ section is where you start to create your plan. Here you can add interior and exterior walls, and doors and windows as you see fit. From the ‘Interior’ section you can add and arrange different furniture, such as chairs, tables, sofas, or beds. Not only that but you can also add appliances and electronics, lighting and plumbing elements, and other decorative items, such as fireplaces, blinds and mirrors.

Changelog
Bugs fixed in this release:
Fixed user lock and OP status getting out of sync with the server when joining back to a session
Added missing error reporting if image saving fails
New features and improvements:
There is now a dedicated brush slot for an eraser (eraser mode is permantenly active in this slot)
Eraser as a separate tool is back. The eraser tool works works just like the freehand tool, but it only uses the new eraser slot
Switching the currently selected brush into eraser mode is now done with a new shortcut: Ctrl+E
Added a new tool for drawing Bezier curves
A size limit can now be set for the flood fill tool to protect against accidental fills.
Flood fill tool now has an erase mode
And last, but not least, is the new Room Code feature:
When you announce a session, the list server assigns a random five letter code to it. This code can be entered into the server address box in the Join dialog in place of the full session address. All listed sessions get a room code, but it is most useful with the new private session type. When the listing mode is set to private, the session will not appear in the public list, but you still get a room code. This way, when you want to invite friends to a session but do not want to make it visible to the general public, just set the listing type to private and send them the room code.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Milton is an Open Source painting program that's easy to use and allows you to "Just Paint." There are no pixels; you can paint with (almost) infinite detail. It feels raster-based, but it works with vectors.

New look:
New color scheme that is a lot prettier IMO.
64-bit canvas:
This version has switched to a 64-bit canvas. The previous versions provided about 300 screens or so of actual canvas when fully zoomed-out. Switching to 64-bit is enough for Milton's canvas to really be infinite for any practical purpose.
Blur:
There is a new layer effects window which currently supports one new effect - Gaussian Blur.
Bug fixes:

Krita 3.2 will use the gmic-qt plugin created and maintained by the authors of G’Mic We’re still working with them to create binary builds that can run on Windows, OSX and most versions of Linux. This plugin replaces completely the older gmic plugin.
We added Radian’s brush set to Krita’s default brushes. These brushes are good for create a strong painterly look.
There are now shortcuts for changing layer states like visibility and lock.
There have been many fixes to the clone brush
There is a new dialog from where you can copy and paste relevant information about your system for bug reports.
We’ve integrated the Smart Patch tool that was previously only in the 4.0 pre-alpha builds!
The Gaussian Blur filter now can use kernels up to 1000 pixels in diameter
Bug Fixes:
Painting with your finger on touch screens is back. You can enable or disable this in the settings dialog.
If previously you suffered from the “green brush outline” syndrome, that should be fixed now, too. Though we cannot guarantee the fix works on all OpenGL systems.
There have been a number of performance improvements as well
The interaction with the file dialog has been improved: it should be better at guessing which folder you want to open, which filename to suggest and which file type to use.
And of course, there were dozens of smaller bug fixes.

This version of Pixia no longer creates temporary files in the installation folder or subfolders underneath. So it will not cause fatal errors due to the permission settings of the concerned foliders.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.

jfPaint is a Java based paint program built with the JavaForce SDK. Naturally, jfpaint isn't for everyone. A lot of us geeks simply don't have Java installed for security reasons. Keep this in mind and remember we have hundreds of other free graphics apps in our Graphics category.
jfpaint has a friendly interface with mostly black and white with some red, green and yellow used for some icons. It is multi-tabbed allowing you to work with multiple images at the same time. It can only open JPG, PNG, and BMP. Some of the many tools included are pencil, line, curve, fill, box, circle, text, substitute, transparency, gradients and gaussian blur. The latest version also added multiple layers.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Alvin Wong has implemented support for the Windows 8 event API, which means that Krita now supports the n-trig pen in the Surface line of laptops (and similar laptops from Dell, HP and Acer) natively. This is still very new, so you have to enable this in the tablet settings.
And he also refactored Krita’s hardware-accelerated display functionality to optionally use Angle on Windows instead of native OpenGL. That means that many problems with Intel display chips and broken driver versions are worked around because Krita now can use Direct3D indirectly.
There are more changes in this release, of course:
Some visual glitches when using hi-dpi screens are fixed (remember: on Windows and Linux, you need to enable this in the settings dialog).
If you create a new image from clipboard, the image will have a title
Favorite blending modes and favorite brush presets are now loaded correctly on startup
GMIC
the plugin has been updated to the latest version for Windows and Linux.
the configuration for setting the path to the plugin has been removed. Krita looks for the plugin in the folder where the krita executable is, and optionally inside a folder with a name that starts with ‘gmic’ next to the krita executable.
there are several fixes for handling layers and communication between Krita and the plugin
Some websites save jpeg images with a .png extension: that used to confuse Krita, but Krita now first looks inside the file to see what kind of file it really is.
PNG:
16 and 32 bit floating point images are now converted to 16 bit integer when saving the images as PNG.
It’s now possible to save the alpha channel to PNG images even if there are no (semi-) transparent pixels in the image
When hardware accelerated display is disabled, the color picker mode of the brush tool showed a broken cursor; this has been fixed.
The Reference Images docker now only starts loading images when it is visible, instead on Krita startup. Note: the reference images docker uses Qt’s imageio plugins to load images. If you are running on Linux, remove all Deepin desktop components. Deepin comes with severely broken qimageio plugins that will crash any Qt application that tries to display images.
File layers now correctly reload on change again
Add several new commandline options:
–nosplash to start Krita without showing the splash screen
–canvasonly to start Krita in canvas-only mode
–fullscreen to start Krita full-screen
–workspace Workspace to start Krita with the given workspace
Selections
The Select All action now first clears the selection before selecting the entire image
It is now possible to extend selections outside the canvas boundary
Performance improvements: in several places superfluous reads from the settings were eliminated, which makes generating a layer thumbnail faster and improves painting if display acceleration is turned off.
The smart number input boxes now use the current locale to follow desktop settings for numbers
The system information dialog for bug reports is improved
macOS/OSX specific changes:
Bernhard Liebl has improved the tablet/stylus accuracy. The problem with circles having straight line segments is much improved, though it’s not perfect yet.
On macOS/OSX systems with and AMD gpu, support for hardware accelerated display is disabled because saving to PNG and JPG hangs Krita otherwise.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

jfpaint has a friendly interface with mostly black and white with some red, green and yellow used for some icons. It is multi-tabbed allowing you to work with multiple images at the same time. It can only open JPG, PNG, and BMP. Some of the many tools included are pencil, line, curve, fill, box, circle, text, substitute, transparency, gradients and gaussian blur. The latest version also added multiple layers.

Release Notes
Today we’re releasing Krita 3.3.3. This will probably be the last stable release in the Krita 3 series. This release contains several bug fixes and one very important change for Windows users:
The Direct3d/Angle renderer is now the default for Intel users. Recent updates to the Intel display drivers have broken Krita on many more systems than before, so it’s better that everyone gets this workaround by default. If you experience decreased performance, you can always try to enable OpenGL again.
Other fixes and improvements include:
Fix an issue where it would not be possible to select certain blending modes when the current layer is grayscale but the image is rgb.
Set the OS and platform when reporting a bug from within Krita on Windows.
Make it possible to enter color values as percentage in the specific color selector
Add OpenGL warnings and make ANGLE default on Intel GPUs
Add an Invert button to the levels filter
Implement loading and saving of styles for group layers to and from PSD
Fix the erase mode not showing correctly when returning to the brush tool
Save the visibility of individual assistants in .kra files
Add an option to draw ruler tips as a power of 2
Disable autoscroll on move and transform tools.
Improve handling of native mouse events when using a pen and the Windows Ink API
Fix the focal point for the pinch zoom gesture
Fix loading netpbm files with comment.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.
Changelog
Command line usage:
support --export-area-drawing when exporting to SVG.
support --export-area-page when using --export-id to export to SVG
support --export-margin when exporting to SVG
Text tool:
support for switching between RTL and LTR writing directions (on narrow screens, find it by unfolding the overhang menu for the text tool's tool controls by clicking on the triangle at the far right)
Circle/ellipse/arc tool:
Add fields for setting vertical/horizontal radius (Rx/Ry) to toolbar. (Bug #1181127)
PDF+LaTeX export:
Add support for multiline text with basic support for line-spacing attribute (Bug #771959)
Note: Currently only the line-spacing of the top level text element is considered, i.e. all lines in one text element share the same line spacing.
Note: LaTeX is much more clever with respect to line spacing, so layout might not always be exactly the same as in Inkscape
Note: Make sure to use a continuously scalable font in LaTeX, otherwise results might be unexpected.
Preferences:
New option "Rendering tile multiplier" added. This value... (please someone explain its effect - not what it does, that's in the tool tip, and doesn't help deciding what one needs. Does it speed up drawing? Which setting is good on low-end/high-end hardware?)
Regression fixes:
Potentially missing command line output in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows 7. (Bug #1714278)
Raster extensions relying on ImageMagick were broken in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows. (Bug #1716516)
gcodetools were creating wrong orientation points since the dpi change had been made for Inkscape 0.92 (Bug #1680760)
Regression on 0.92.2 makes it impossible to fill a powerstroke shape (Bug #1715433)
Important bugfixes:
Fix crash when attempting to drag path at cap or line join. (Bug #1691406)
Inkscape process did not exit cleanly on Windows. (Bugs #1412365 and #1715339, also causing #1714278)
File extension was sometimes omitted when adding saved files to Windows' list of "recently used documents" resulting in unusable links ([1])
Do not crash on systems with illegal fontconfig configurations. (Bug #1716516)
Resolve issues when attempting to save files to non-existing directories. Could happen for shortcuts.xml (Bug #1719629) and when setting the autosave location manually.
Allow cancellation of bitmap export. (Bug #1195929)
Fix issues with PDF+LaTeX export: wrong stacking of text/graphics / missing pages in PDF output (Bugs #771957, #1417470)
Fix shortcuts not working as expected when a non-latin keyboard layout is the primary keyboard layout on a system. (Bugs #1226962, #1730246, #1734308)
Printing multiple copies of the document resulted in one copy and many blank pages (Bug #490866)
Fix OpenDocument Graphics (.odg) export which failed when including linked images and was not working at all on Windows (Bug #1691406)

Release Notes
Inkscape 0.92.3 is mainly a stability and bugfix release, but it also brings some small new features, like being able to set an ellipses' radii numerically in the tool controls, or switching the writing direction from left-to-right to right-to-left. Windows users will be happy to learn that the long startup times many of them were seeing could greatly be reduced. A new rendering option with an adjusted default value can vastly improve performance when working with filters.
Many of the bug fixes address important functionality, like printing issues, crashes with the node tool or problems with keyboard shortcuts.
Improvements
Command line usage
Three new command line options controlling page size are supported when exporting in SVG format:
--export-area-drawing (feature requests in bug #1597921 and bug #1722844)
--export-area-page while using --export-id
--export-margin
Text tool
Support for switching between RTL and LTR writing directions has been added (on narrow screens, find it by unfolding the overhang menu for the text tool's tool controls by clicking on the triangle at the far right).
Circle/ellipse/arc tool
New fields for setting vertical/horizontal radius (Rx/Ry) were added to the tool controls bar. (Bug #1181127)
PDF+LaTeX export
Support for multi-line text with basic support for line-spacing attribute was added. (Bug #771959)
Please note:
Currently only the line-spacing of the top level text element is considered, i.e. all lines in one text element share the same line spacing.
LaTeX is much more clever with respect to line spacing, so layout might not always be exactly the same as in Inkscape.
Make sure to use a continuously scalable font in LaTeX, otherwise results might be unexpected.
Preferences
A new renderer option called "Rendering tile multiplier" was added. Making this value larger can speed up drawing, if you have large areas with complex filters in your drawing or work a lot with high zoom levels on filtered objects. Making the value smaller can make zooming and panning in relevant areas faster on low-end hardware (if there are no large filtered areas on the visible part of the canvas). The default value makes your screen consist of about four tiles that are rendered independently, if you're not using a hidpi screen (which requires more tiles). A more detailed explanation is available here.
Startup Performance
The first start of Inkscape on Windows is much faster now.
This is the result of improvements in fontconfig 2.13.0, a third party library which handles font related tasks for Inkscape. One of the tasks is creating an index of all fonts available on the system which is much faster now. If the new indexing causes any issues (i.e. fonts or glyphs not available that could be used before) make sure to let us know or report the issue directly to the fontconfig project.
Extensions
Extensions on Windows can now make use of Tkinter, without requiring users to install it themselves. Tkinter provides functionality for creating interactive graphical user interfaces. This is used, for example, by the TexText extension that renders mathematical LaTeX formulas to SVG (feature request at bug #1735451).
Regression fixes
Potentially missing command line output in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows 7. (Bug #1714278)
Extensions in the 'Raster' submenu relying on ImageMagick were broken and caused crashes in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows. (Bug #1720330)
gcodetools were creating wrong orientation points since the dpi change had been made for Inkscape 0.92 (Bug #1680760)
The 'Clone original' path effect that was partially broken in Inkscape 0.92.2 works again to fill a path with a PowerStroke applied to it (useful for drawing cartoons) (Bug #1715433)
The preferences dialog was tiny by default (Bug #1360213)
Node handles no longer get too large when selected, and they also revert back to standard size when deselected (Bug #1568644)
Export to .odg (Open Document Drawing) works again on Windows (Bug #1654034)
Inkscape no longer freezes when trying to import clipart from OpenClipart when the openclipart.org server takes too long to respond to requests (Bug #1745521)
Texts that are written in vertical direction now have their marks (e.g. accents) on the correct side again (gitlab commit)
Important bugfixes
Fix crash when attempting to drag path at cap or line join. (Bug #1691406)
Inkscape process did not exit cleanly on Windows. (Bugs #1412365 and #1715339, also causing #1714278)
File extension was sometimes omitted when adding saved files to Windows' list of "recently used documents" resulting in unusable links ([1])
Do not crash on systems with illegal fontconfig configurations. (Bug #1716516)
Resolve issues when attempting to save files to non-existing directories. Could happen for shortcuts.xml (Bug #1719629) and when setting the autosave location manually.
Allow cancellation of bitmap export. (Bug #1195929)
Fix issues with PDF+LaTeX export: wrong stacking of text/graphics, missing pages in PDF output (Bugs #771957, #1417470)
Fix shortcuts not working as expected when a non-latin keyboard layout is the primary keyboard layout on a system. (Bugs #1226962, #1730246, #1734308)
Printing multiple copies of the document resulted in one copy and many blank pages (Bug #490866, #1733424)
Fix export area when exporting single objects to SVG using the --export-id command line switch (Bug #1306662, #1707368)
Fix DXF output and Windows vector print scaling for documents with a custom view box (Bug #1672066)
Invalid output generated from extensions no longer makes Inkscape crash (gitlab commit)
The Ruler Live Path Effect now shows correct measurements in the default template (and other non-px-based templates), too (Bug #1460858)
The Document Properties dialog now has a more compact layout, so all items should be accessible on smaller screens (Bug #1510831)
More bug fixes
There were even more issues fixed than those listed above, but these probably only affect a small portion of users, or are relevant for development and packaging only.

Release Notes
oday we’re releasing Krita 4.0! A major release with major new features and improvements: improved vector tools, SVG support, a new text tool, Python scripting and much, much, much more!
The new splash screen for Krita 4.0, created by Tyson Tan, shows Kiki among the plum blossoms. We had wanted to release Krita 4 last year already, but trials and tribulations caused considerable delays. But, like the plum blossoms that often bloom most vibrantly when it’s coldest, we have overcome, and Krita 4 is now ready!
We’ve again created a long, long page with all the details of everything that’s new and improved in Krita 4.
See the full release notes with all changes! (https://krita.org/en/krita-4-0-release-notes/)
We already mentioned SVG support, a new text tool and Python scripting, so here are some other highlights:
Easy coloring of line-art with the new Colorize Mask Tool. Read the manual for more detail!
Masked brushes: add a mask to your brush tip for a more lively effect. This opens up some really cool possibilities!
New brush presets! We overhauled the entire brush set for Krita 4. Brush presets are now packaged as a bundle, too. And Krita 3’s brush set is available as well, it’s just disabled by default.
Known issues
Krita 4 is a huge step for the Krita project, as big as, if not bigger than the 3.0 release. There are some known issues and caveats:
Krita 4 uses SVG for vector layers. This means that Krita 3 files with vector layers may not be loaded entirely correctly. Keep backups!
Krita 4’s new text tool is still limited compared to what we wanted to implement. We focused on creating a reliable base and making the text tool work reliably for just one, simple use-case: creating text for comic book balloons, and we’ll continue working on improving and extending the text tool.
We have a new binary build factory for Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, we don’t have 32 bits Windows builds at this point in time.
Because macOS has a very low limit on shared memory segments, G’Mic cannot work on macOS at the moment.
The Reference Images Docker has been removed. It was too easy to crash it if invalid image files where present. In Krita 4.1 it will be replaced by a new reference images tool.

Pixia is a powerful graphics editor with a unique user interface. When learning Pixia, it's easier to discard everything you know about Photoshop or Paintshop, and start from scratch with the tutorials and help files.
Changelog
1) The selection tool bar is now parmanently displayed. Previously it popped up only when you clicked on an selection icon.
2) Another option is added at Preferences to let the Selection Panel pop up just after you select an area. Previously the Panel always showed up right after you selected an area. Now the default is "off".
3) The quality of drawn lines has improved. - ver. 6.03k (24 Mar. 2018)
For Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10: A new setting is added: "Ignore Display Scaling" at Preferences. This fixes the scaling of text, dialogs, windows, and other items of Pixia to 100%, ignoring the Windows display setting. Those who hate the blurry appearance of the items and pictures displayed in Pixia due to the scaling set to other than 100%, try this function.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Release Notes
Today the Krita team releases Krita 4.0.1, a bug fix release of Krita 4.0.0. We fixed more than fifty bugs since the Krita 4.0.0 release! See below for the full list of fixed isses. Translations work again with the appimage and the macOS build. Please note that:
The reference image docker has been removed. Krita 4.1.0 will have a new reference images tool. You can test the code-in-progress by downloading the nightly builds for Windows and Linux
There is no scripting available on macOS. We had it almost working when the one macbook the project has received a broken update, which undid all our work. G’Mic is also not available on macOS.
The lock and collapse icons on the docker titlebars are removed: too many people were too confused by them.
If you find a new issue, please consult this draft document on reporting bugs, before reporting an issue. After the 4.0 release, more than 150 bugs were reported, but most of those reports were duplicates, requests for help or just not useful at all. This puts a heavy strain on the developers, and makes it harder to actually find time to improve Krita. Please be helpful!

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Release Notes
Today the Krita team releases Krita 4.0.2, a bug fix release of Krita 4.0.0. We fixed more than fifty bugs since the Krita 4.0.0 release! See below for the full list of fixed isses. We’ve also got fixes submitted by two new contributors: Emmet O’Neil and Seoras Macdonald. Welcome!
Please note that:
The reference image docker has been removed. Krita 4.1.0 will have a new reference images tool. You can test the code-in-progress by downloading the nightly builds for Windows and Linux. You can also use Antoine Roux’s reference images docker python plugin.
Translations are broken in various ways. On Linux everything should work. On Windows, you might have to select your language as an extra override language in the Settings/Select language dialog. This might also be the case on macOS
The macOS binaries are now signed, but do not have G’Mic and do not have Python scripting.
If you find a new issue, please consult this draft document on reporting bugs before reporting an issue. After the 4.0 release more than 150 bugs were reported, but most of those reports were duplicates, requests for help or just not useful at all. This puts a heavy strain on the developers and makes it harder to actually find time to improve Krita. Please be helpful!

Habe heute ein paar Tests damit angestellt.
Zahlreiche Funktionen, die per Menü oder Schaltflächen erkennbar sind, funktionieren in der kostenlosen Version nicht, und jeder Versuch, eine solche aufzurufen, führt zu einem Popup mit Kaufaufforderung. Ich nenne das Adware!
Dazu gehören z.B. Beschriftungen, Landscape- Funktionen, Veränderungen der Etagenzahl und etliche mehr.
Weiterhin sind wohl ein paar krasse Mängel in der kostenlosen Version versteckt worden, wie z.B. folgende:
- kein Keller oder Souterrain anlegbar, weil sich das Niveau des untersten Geschosses gar nicht verändern lässt. Zwar könnte man den ersten Stock nach unten legen, aber weil sich das Erdgeschoß nicht ausblenden lässt, ergibt der Versuch 'nen Haufen Konflikte.
- die Größe der Arbeitsfläche lässt sich (in der 2D-Darstellung) zoomen, aber der umfasste Bereich nicht verändern, weshalb unnötige Scrollerei per Pfeiltasten nötig ist. In der 3D-Darstellung funktioniert der Zoom gar nicht, was dazu führt, daß jedes Drehen eines Objekts außerhalb der Mitte ebenso mühselige Scrollerei erfordert. Und die Skalierung der 3D Darstellung ist unbrauchbar, weil in Bildschirmmitte meines 23,6 FullHD Monis ein Meter am Gebäude ungefähr vier Millimeter ergibt.
- trotz eingestellter Höhe der Fensterbank beginnen Fenster, die ich bisher probiert habe, mit der Fensterbank direkt am Fußboden.
- in der 2D-Ansicht, auf der man ja normalerweise hauptsächlich konstruiert, werden Türen gar nicht oder nur als einseitiger Knauf in der Wand angezeigt, die Mauer nicht unterbrochen, und es ist nicht steuerbar, ob eine Tür nach innen oder außen aufgeht, was insbesondere bei Durchgangszimmern auch nicht logisch bestimmbar wäre. Nur linker oder rechter Anschlag sind wählbar, nicht die Öffnungsrichtung. In der 3D-Darstellung werden Türen zwar erwartungsgemäß dargestellt (und lassen sich auch platzieren, verschieben oder löschen), aber auch da gibt's keinen Einfluß auf die Richtung.
- Fußböden lassen sich nicht eingeben oder markieren. Statt dessen versucht die Soft ungebeten, solche beim Festlegen der Mauern automatisch festzulegen, aber dann nur in einem Raum oder wenigen.
Erscheint einmal ein Fußboden, wird die Etage darunter in 2D nicht mehr transparent dargestellt, was schon das Einzeichnen teils etagenübergreifender Wände stark erschwert. Es ist aber auch im realen Bau manchmal so, daß optionelle Wände einer Etage nicht direkt auf welchen der Etage darunter stehen, sondern z.B. mit einer gegossenen Betondecke dazwischen. Früher waren auch manchmal Balkone so im Gebäude verankert.
So Versorgungsinfrastuktur einzutragen ist auch kaum vernünftig möglich.
Mehr Details erspare ich mir, das Leben ist kurz.
Hinzufügen möchte ich, daß ich früher gelegentlich mit zwei kommerziellen Produkten gespielt bzw. Tests durchgeführt habe, bei damals befreundeten Architekten. Die hatten auch so ihre Besonderheiten und Eingewöhnungsbedarf, aber sie funktionierten zu 99% erwartungsgemäß. Das sehe ich hier nicht so, und ehrlich gesagt, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Bezahl-Version wirklich in allen benannten Punkten besser funktioniert.
Also werde ich für eigene Zwecke weiter bei Stift und Lineal auf Papier bleiben, allenfalls später eingescant und dann beschriftet.
Für mich also glatt durchgefallen.
Werde wohl als nächstes FreeCAD eine Chance geben, auch wenn das ein Riesending ist, in das man sich wohl lange vertiefen muß, bevor man damit irgendetwas gescheites zustande bringt.
Jürgen
p.s. Nee, Sweet Home 3D ist nun das Mittel der Wahl geworden.
Tut genau das, was ich will, und noch viel mehr, ohne Zicken und Murren.

Enhanced the importing of SVGs considerably, including shadows, gradients and borders. This also includes improvements to the exporting capabilities.
The extended area caused by certain effects (blur for example) is now considered when exporting.
Improvements to PDF export:
Massively improved exporting of PDFs at high resolutions (150 and 300 dpi). The exporting process can now be canceled at any time and in case a file can’t be exported at all (if the dimensions are too large), a message is shown.
Drop shadows and inner shadows are now exported with the best possible quality in PDFs.
Optimized duplicate and copy/paste behavior.
Replaced clone tool with duplicate ( Ctrl/⌘ + D) and enabled smart duplicate, also for Alt-drag and groups.
Improved Paste in Place, in that it pastes content at the top-left of the currently selected element (shortcut ⇧ + Ctrl/⌘ + V).
Improved Paste inside Selection, which still clips content to the selected shape, but also pastes it at the top-left corner (new shortcut ⇧ + Ctrl/⌘ + Alt + V).
Added a new “Paste” sub menu in Edit in the menu bar.
Added a new right-click Paste Here option, that pastes content exactly add the position of the mouse cursor.
Added a new right-click Paste Style option, to make it more discoverable. As a reminder, the styling of an element can be copied with Ctrl/⌘ + C.
Content pasted onto an infinite canvas is always placed at the center of the viewport.
Alt-dragging now also works in the Layers panel.
Massive improvements to the workings of compound shapes ( Merge), including shapes with holes, compound operations involving shapes that touch each other at the edges, and compound paths intersecting multiple times in one place. Also optimized speed and performance.
Renamed Shading tool to Freehand shaping for more clarity and improved it, especially when holes are involved. Also, drawing a counter-clockwise shape now removes it from the original shape, drawing a clockwise non-intersecting shape adds it. Please see this video: https://cl.ly/2F2r361T3G2o. Tip: Be sure that the shape has a border applied for the Freehand shaping tool to work correctly.
Improved saving, to prevent loss of progress when saving fails. Also, it’s now ensured that files have finished saving when closing the application.
Opening a panel in the Inspector (color picker for example) now dims the background for more visibility. This also simplifies closing panels. Please see https://cl.ly/472j3U1o343Y.
The background color can now be set for pages with an infinite canvas.
All file formats allow to set the background color now in the Export dialog ( File → Export → Export...)
Improved Light and Dark themes with additional icons in the toolbar, to make these functions more discoverable. Furthermore, you can now change between the new left-aligned icons and the former grouped appearance of the icons in the Settings.
Brought entire signup/login workflow as well as the user settings to Gravit Designer. No popups or external pages anymore.
New elements are now added on the correct position of the hierarchy in the Layers Panel, for example when adding a rectangle shape.
Removed all inappropriate graphics from the Libraries, to make them suitable to a wider audience.
Improved display of images clipped to text layers.
Optimized “pinch to zoom” on Mac trackpads.
Paths now also have proper handles to resize and rotate.
Improved importing of EPS files with text layers.
The Knife tool now also works on compound paths.
Renamed Shading tool to Freehand Shaping for more clarity.
Renamed Split selection to Ungroup selection for more clarity.
EPS files can now be imported from File → Import → Place image...
NOTABLE BUG FIXES:
Character spacing isn’t added at the end of text layers anymore.
Fixed that slices are smaller when being exported.
Vertical and horizontal paths (or lines) can now be rotated and flipped properly.
Ensured that SVGs are opened with the correct dimensions.
Solved multiple problems with the grid: Switching between grid types doesn’t reset the size anymore; the isometric grid isn’t synced with the normal grid anymore; properly remembering the formerly set grid settings; switching to another document unit doesn’t affect snapping anymore; fixed some rendering artifacts; limited the grid to minimal values.
Fixed rounding off anchor points with the right mouse button for shapes converted to a path.
Switching between different types of anchor points now works correctly.
Pressing Ctrl +/- (to zoom into the canvas) when an input field is focused doesn’t zoom the browser window anymore.
Fixed that exporting JPEGs from File → Export → JPEG from an infinite canvas used a wrong background color (black).
Switched off “Autoscale Borders” for newly created elements when adopting the styling from another element.
Template previews aren’t distorted anymore in the welcome dialog.
Fixed that aligning anchor points and undoing changes the appearance of the element.
Switching from Auto to Fixed width/height text can be properly undone now.
Make Exportable now exports multiple file formats properly.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

New TIFF kinds are supported now.

It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to promote creativity.
License: Freeware
Release Notes
The Tux Paint development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Tux Paint version 0.9.23, the latest release of their award-winning, free drawing program for children.
Initially released for the Linux operating system in 2002, and soon becoming available for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS (previously Mac OS X), and other platforms, Tux Paint has become a staple at countless homes and schools around the globe.
New in this version are a "color picker", which allows any color within a drawing to be chosen using the pointer, and a set of three-, four-, and five-pointed star shapes.
The latest version also incorporates a number of new translations, bringing the number of supported languages up to nearly 130: Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Kabyle, Urdu, and Devanagari and Perso-Arabic variations of Kashmiri and Sindhi. Thirty other translations have been updated, as well.
The previous version, 0.9.22, was inoperable on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and later. This new release addresses compatibility problems, and should work with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), macOS 10.12 (Sierra), and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). Users running Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier should continue using Tux Paint 0.9.22.

Krita 4.1.3 is a bug fix release, so that’s the most important thing, but there are also some new things as well.
The first of these is the new welcome screen, by Scott Petrovic. You get some handy links, a list of recently used files, a link to create or open a fdile and a hint that you can also drag and drop images in the emtpy window to open them.
Add improved navigation to generated epubs. This adds
Region navigation for panels and balloons, as per epub spec.
Navigation that uses the “acbf_title” keyword to create a TOC in both nav.xhtml and ncx
A Pagelist in both nav.xhtml and ncx.
Ensure generated EPUBs pass EPUB check validation. This invoved ensuring that the mimetype gets added first to the zip, as well as as some fixes with the author metadata and the NCX pagelist.
Fix language nonsense.
Fix several issues with the EPUB metadata export.
Add MARC-relators for use with the ‘refines’.
Add UUID sharing between acbf and epub.
Add a modiied and proper date stuff.
Implement “epub_spread”, the primary color ahl meta and more. This also…
Makes the balloon localisation more robust.
Names all balloons text-areas as that is a bit more accurate
Set a sequence on author
Adds a ton of documentation everywhere.
Make the generated EPUB 3 files pre-paginated. This’ll allow comics to be rendered as part of a spread which should have a nice result.
Move Epub to use QDomDocument for generation, split out ncx/opf. This is necessary so we have nicer looking xml files, as well. as having a bit more room to do proper generation for epub 2/3/3+
Update ComicBookInfo and ComicRack generators.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Today we’re releasing Krita 4.1.7, another bug fix release in the Krita 4.1 series.
The most important fix is a weird one: it might help your wifi connection. The problem is that we started building a widget that would show you the news feed from krita.org. The widget isn’t active, and doesn’t make any kind of network connection… But Qt’s network manager class still checks your wifi settings all the time. See these bugs: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46015 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40332.
Apart from that, we’ve worked around a bug in Qt 5.12 that would cause an instant crash when using a tablet. Our own builds do not use that version of Qt, so the Windows builds, macOS build and the Linux appimage are fine, but users of rolling Linux releases like Arch would suffer from this issue.
And there are more bug fixes, of course:
Fix showing wrongly that there is no audio support in the animation timeline audio menu
Disable the disk-based animation cache rendering backend on Windows: this would give problems with animations bigger than about 150 frames. (BUG 401326)
Don’t hang when trying to load recent files thumbnails for files in a location that’s no longer accessible. (BUG:401939)
Make it possible to use the LUT docker when Angle is enabled on Windows. We have also updated the OpenColorIO library to the latest release.
Remember whether anti-aliasing was enabled in selection tools (BUG:401730)
Add a shortcut to activate the text tool (BUG:401655)
Make the toolbars movable again
Make Select by Color Range check the entire image (BUG:346138)
Enable HiDPI support by default: the problems with the canvas scaling have been solved.
Allow krita to import more than file at a time when started from a file manager (BUG:401476)
Fix using the scrollwheel in comboboxes on Linux (BUG:399379) Patch by Mykola Krachkovsky.
Fix the calculation of Average Desaturation (BUG:400493)
Do not crash when exporting Compositions (BUG:400627)
Make the move tool show the correct cursor in all modes
Let the move tool move invisible layers
Fix a crash in the artistic color selector (BUG:399860)

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
Big new features:
Tiered access controls: There are now four user tiers: guests, registered users, trusted users and operators. Operators can mark any user as trusted. Access to various features can be granted based on the tier. Trusted users can be given a permission to kick/ban non-trusted users. Read more here.
Canvas background: Drawpile no longer creates a background layer by default. Instead, you can set a background color. If you wish to use a background layer anyway, you can set the background color to transparent and create a layer yourself and it will work exactly the same as before. Read more here.
User avatars: You can now select an avatar image when logging in. The avatar is shown in the chat box, the user list and user cursors.
Improved chat: The chat box and user list have been updated for a more modern look.
Private messaging: You can now open private chats with individual users.
Smarter autoresetting: The autoreset threshold is now adjustable from the session settings dialog and can even be disabled entirely. (The server can still set a hard maximum size limit.) Additionally, the server now tries to select the user with the fastest connection to perform the reset. Note that server version 2.1 is needed for autoresetting to work at all. Read more here.
Censored layers: Individual layers can now be tagged for censoring. When censoring is enabled, tagged layers will be filled with a censor bar pattern. (Censoring can be locked via the parental controls settings.) Read more here.
Redesigned join dialog: The "join session" dialog now includes the session listing directly.
Zoom tool: You can now use a new tool to zoom in and out. Read more here.
Square pixel brush: There is now a square shape option for the pixel brush.
WebM video export: Recordings and animations can now be exported directly to WebM video format. (Replaces the semi-broken ffmpeg exporter.)
Smaller features and changes
Simplified host dialog: The "host session" dialog has been simplified. The "settings" tab has been removed, since it was an obsolete holdover from version 1.0.
Layers menu: The layer menu button is replaced by a new menu in the main menubar. Keyboard shortcuts can now be used to create layers and toggle solo view mode (among other things.) Common operations (add/delete layers) can still be accessed in the layer box by right clicking.
Navigator controls: Zoom and rotation can now be adjusted via the navigator dock. Read more here.
Status bar controls: The zoom and rotation sliders in the status bar have been replaced with comboboxes. The mirror and flip actions were moved to the tool bar.
Keyboard shortcuts are now shown in toolbar tooltips.
Template export: You can now export the current canvas as a template for use with the dedicated server.
Bonjour on Windows: If Bonjour is installed, Drawpile can use it to announce and find servers on the local network.
Big internal changes:
Premultiplied colors: Pixels are now stored in premultiplied ARGB format. This fixes some strange color artifacts that happen when using very light colors and also makes basic alpha blending operations slightly faster. Read more here.
Optimized layer initialization: Initial layer content is now drawn in a more efficient way. This makes session resets (and initialization from an existing image) slightly faster. Read more here.
Clientside brush engines: Instead of sending PenMove events, Drawpile now sends precomputed dab vectors. This is a potentially controversial change, since it does make session histories bigger, however I believe the tradeoff is worth it. This change simplifies the application's internal architecture, improves forward compatibility, eliminates certain bugs entirely, makes the watercolor brush faster and makes it possible to implement soft resetting and integrate the MyPaint brush engine. (In short, how it should have been done since the beginning.) Read more here and here.

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

Changelog
Hot on the heels of 4.2.0, we’re releasing Krita 4.2.1. Most importantly, this release fixes an issue where after painting for a long time, Krita would become slow because the undo stack would grow infinitely. There are other fixes, too: saving and loading .kra files containing vector layers with image names using non-latin1 characters has been fixed, too. Some fixes are by new contributor Carl Olsson, others by new contribor Dmitry Utkin, many thanks!
Here’s the full list of fixes:
Fix slowdown after a longer period of use (BUG:408255, BUG:408133)
Fix loading vector layers when the image name is not latin1 (BUG:408280)
Fix rectangular grid spacing limits incorrect after resizing canvas (BUG:408166)
Fix layer properties window draws on top of other application windows (BUG:408170)
Fix the posterize filter to use non-linear sRGB for computation
Allow the animation render to start at frame 0 at all times (BUG:408198)
Enable the Select Opaque actions for group layers (BUG:408236)
Check whether the drive still exists before creating a temporary directory for animation rendering (BUG:408246)
Prevent the user from deleting locked layers when pressing shift-del too quickly
Fix copying and duplicating vector layers (BUG:408028)
Fix Krita’s canvas being transparent on Linux when built against older versions of Qt (BUG:408225)
Fix possible small delays at the beginning of a stroke (BUG:408133)
Fix folding/unfolding when clicking on a layer thumbnail
Fix undo/redo when working with guides (patches by Summer of Code student Tusooa Zhu)
Fix reversed Python API guides lock/show states (BUG:408113)
Make the minimum size for brushes consistent through the application
Make the auto brush spacing precision values consistent (BUG:359453)
Improve selectioon behaviour on the layer docker (BUG:408002)
Fix macOS zoom and rotate icon getting stuck (BUG:404321)
Fix the vector stroke style propagating to other vector objects (BUG:407683)
Fix the Document Tools plugin (BUG:408146)
Fix the layer name being deselected when opening the layer name editor (BUG:400357)
Our builds of Krita 4.2.1 are also updated to use Qt 5.12.3, which should solve some problems with drag and drop; there might be new problems with display scaling on Windows, though, since the experimental patches for Qt that we used for 4.2.0 now give conflicts.

Release Notes
We’re releasing Krita 4.2.4 today. The most important fixes are to the shortcut input system and the saving system. Krita 4.2.3 had a bug where a message window would often pop up complaining about a shortcut not being finished properly; this should no longer happen. Anna Medonosova has hardened the saving system even more, especially when closing Krita after initiating a save operation.
There are some more bug fixes coming soon, and we will release 4.2.5 with those fixes in about two weeks, after the coming Krita sprint.
Additionally
Known Issue
If touch zoom and rotation doesn’t work anymore, please remove your local default.inputrc file. Go to Settings/Manage Resources and press the Open Resource Folder button. Enter the input folder and remove all files in that folder.
A new feature is the Painttool Sai inspired Luminosity blending mode (BUG:409627).

Artweaver is an image editor that tries to simulate natural brush tools eg. chalk, charcoal, pencils. It supports common image formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TGA, TIFF, PNG and PSD, in addition to its own format (AWD). Image editing functions includes selection, gradient, crop, fill, transparency, layers, effects (sharpen, blur, emboss, mosaic etc.).
Changelog
This new version highlights the following new features
Improved brush handling and adjustments
Simplified preset handling
Windows Ink Pen support
Improved update
Misc improvements / adjustments
Improved brush handling and adjustments
The whole brush handling has been changed to be more intuitive and easier to use. Therefore, the brush palette is removed, and all its settings are now also accessible on the brush tool property bar. Additionally, the brush editor has been enhanced and provides all possible settings of a brush in one place. Finally, the brush selector shows now a preview of the brush stroke and a history of recently used brushes.
Simplified preset handling
All presets and its selectors are now combined into one new media palette instead of being spread all around the application. Importing of preset is now also easier as there is only one import dialog which can import all supported preset files.
Windows Ink Pen support
Besides the common used Wintab interface to retrieve pressure information from tablets and pens, Artweaver now also supports the Windows Ink Pen interface for pen pressure information which has been introduced with Windows 10 and is today used by many mobile devices (e.g. tablets and laptops).
Improved update
For any available update there is now an update dialog shown on Artweaver startup which informs about the update and asks to install them. Afterwards the mandatory User Account Control is shown, and updates are downloaded and installed.
Misc improvements / adjustments
Paper color is removed and is replaced by background or transparent color in tools and filters
The size of filter dialogs is increased
Automatic saved recovery information is now in Awd format instead of events which makes the recovering faster and more reliable

Release Notes
New features:
Add new layer from visible to layer right-click context menu.
When running Krita for the first time on Windows, Angle is now the default renderer. Note that if you have an NVidia GPU and Krita’s window is transparent, you need to select Angle manually in Krita’s settings; if you have another GPU and you have problems with the canvas not updating, you might need to manually select OpenGL in the same window.
We want to especially thank Karl Ove Hufthammer for his extensive work on polishing the translatable string.

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
One big new feature in this version is configurable canvas shortcuts. This allows you to change the shortcut keys for canvas related actions (e.g. scrolling, rotating and color picker mode.) This, unfortunately, meant changing one existing shortcut: pressing the space bar now acts the same as pressing the middle mouse button. This might conflict with your existing muscle memory, but the shortcuts are now fully consistent.
When holding down modifier keys, the mouse cursor is now updated to indicate the active mode: zoom, rotate, color pick or layer pick.
Another big change is improved brush preview and editing. A new visual style is now used to better indicate the effect of the current blending mode. The "watercolor mode" button has been removed, instead smudging is now always available for all brush shapes.
There is also a change in the way brush presets are stored internally. Rather than the settings file or the registry, presets are stored as individual files. This should make it less likely that the presets disappear seemingly with no reason, and it also makes it possible to back up and copy them.
One more big UI change is a new drag handle style for selections. Instead of having to use keyboard shortcuts to rotate a selection, clicking on the selection now switches the handles between scaling and rotation/skew mode.
Bugs fixed:
Fixed lockup when opening a layered TIFF file
Fixed responsivity of tool quick adjustment by dragging
Server: session files are now named consistently
Fixed crash when using large-radius color picker near the edge of the canvas
Other changes:
Added Italian translation (contributed by Albano Battistella)
The same default curve is now used for velocity pressure emulation mode
drawpile-cmd: added support for outputting to stdout
The same default curve is now used for velocity pressure emulation mode

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

Release Notes
At long last, we're moving into beta, meaning that no more features will be added before the 2.0.0 release, and no translatable source strings will be added or changed (unless absolutely necessary, if a source string turns out to be completely wrong).
This is now the best time to contribute to the translation effort over at Weblate. Translation is not easy, and should not be rushed. It doesn't matter if the translation covers 100% of the strings if 90% of the translations are incomprehensible or confusing. It's better to spend more time to try to make the translations consistent, and as clear as possible (while being reasonably terse, I did say it wasn't easy, right?). We aim for a full release at the end of January, so there are at least five weeks available to work on translations.
If the meaning of a source string is ambiguous, or generally lacking context/clarity, make a comment for that string in the Weblate interface. Make sure that the scope is set to "Source string comment, ..." so we can see it. Even though we won't add or change source strings, we can add source string comments to provide more information to translators.
We don't expect the (many) new languages that have been added to be fully or even partially translated in time for the release (aimed for the end of January 2020), but hope that most of the older major translation will be updated and improved (most of them are at least 75% done, string-wise). The languages that have been continuously updated during the past 5 months have less than 30 new strings that need to be translated.
Apart from the translations, the goal is now to find and fix any bugs we can fix (generally this does not cover input bugs on Windows, unfortunately). If you find a bug *, search for it on the tracker. If you find it on the tracker, make a comment to indicate that it's still a problem, and if you do not find it, report it in a new issue.
* That is, an actual bug - something that does not work, causes an exception or crashes the program - and not missing features you would like to have (for that, you can request/discuss/vote for features on the forums). Do report input bugs, even though we may not be able to fix them for this release.
Changes since alpha 13
Compatibility modes
Anyone who has used the prereleases knows that the 2.0 release brings with it the awesome spectral subtractive color mixing features - allowing colors to mix more like real paint would. They may also have noticed that their old files don't look quite the same when opened with those prereleases, and that painting can be a bit laggy when working with high resolutions.
In order to support working with old files, and for those who don't really need the new color blending (though you should try it out!), MyPaint now supports two compatibility modes:
1.x
When in 1.x mode (indicated in the window title):
The rendering mode is the same as in 1.2.1 and earlier (sRGB).
The default layer is "Normal" (configurable).
The default Pigment brush setting is off (configurable).
Spectral blending (pigment mode) will not work quite as it should.
2.x
When in 2.x mode (default, configurable):
The rendering is adapted for the spectral blending (Linear sRGB + non-linear blending).
The default layer is "Pigment" (configurable).
The default Pigment brush setting is off (configurable).
Painting will be slower *
Each document keeps track of which mode it was using when it is saved, but it's also possible to override that mode when opening files. For old documents, which do not have the mode information stored, the mode used can be configured to either be one of "1.x" and "2.x" or opening in "1.x" unless there are Pigment layers present (from files saved in 2.0.0 alphas).
* This will almost certainly be addressed in the future. @briend has already made an experimental branch with drastically improved performance and quality of results. To some extent the spectral blending will always be a bit slower, but it can be made a lot faster than it is today
Other changes
The new brush settings are now properly categorized. You will no longer see the "Experimental" group, and can find the new settings under the "Color" and "Smudge" categories.
Painting with the new symmetry modes is a lot faster. The entire area is no longer processed, avoiding the quadratic slowdown. Symmetry mode can still be slow when using the line/curve/ellipse modes, but that might be addressed in time for 2.0. Nevertheless, bear in mind that it will always be slower to paint with more symmetry lines - using e.g. 12 lines with the snowflake symmetry mode is the equivalent of painting a stroke that's 24x as long as the distance of your actual stroke.
Version information and compatibility warnings have been added, warning when attempting to open a file created with a newer version of MyPaint. There are two separate warnings shown for different levels of incompatibility, they can be disabled separately (and of course, you won't be able to see them at all until future releases).
Python 3 is now used for the Windows build *.
Preparations for adjustable symmetry angles - unfortunately this won't be part of the 2.0 release, but will be ready for 2.1.
* In just 11 short days, Python 2.7 will be EOL. In general we'll keep supporting Python 2.7 for MyPaint 2.0 and probably 2.1, but support will be dropped for the 2.2 release (so the code can be cleaned up).

RasterVect hilft vor allem CAD-Anwendern beim Umsetzen gerasterter Vorlagen in Vektorgrafiken. Als Datenquelle dienen der Freeware sowohl auf der Festplatte gespeicherte Bilder als auch papierene und per Scanner eingelesene Grafiken.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten Vertretern seines Genres wandelt RasterVect Rasterbilder nicht einfach nur in Linienansammlungen um, sondern optimiert diese für den CAD-Einsatz. Dies zeigt sich unter anderem darin, dass bestimmte gestalterische Elemente direkt als Block-Einheiten vektorisiert werden. Gesetzt den Fall, dass die Vektorisierung nicht ganz optimal vonstatten geht, arbeitet man die Vektor-Grafiken manuell nach.
An Ausgabeformaten bietet RasterVect vor allem den CAD-Standard DXF an. Alternativ gibt der Helfer die Vektoren aber auch als WMF, EMF, EPS sowie dem Adobe Illustrator Format AI aus.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

Inkscape ist ein kostenlos erhältlicher Vektor-Grafik-Editor mit enormem Funktionsumfang. Ursprünglich war das Programm eine rein für Unix entwickelte Software, die seit der Version 0.4 jedoch auch für Windows verfügbar ist.
Die Software ist erstaunlich einfach zu bedienen und somit auch für Anwender geeignet, denen professionelle Applikationen wie llustrator oder Freehand bislang Probleme bereiteten. Dazu tragen unter anderem die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und die nahezu selbsterklärenden Werkzeuge des Tools bei.
Release Notes
The most notable improvements are:
Python extensions will now run with Python 3
Fonts on Windows 10 that are not installed globally are now available to be used in Inkscape
Important changes
The Inkscape project has opened a new, bug and feature request reporting page for users on GitLab at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/. Please use this new page to report bugs and issues that occur with Inkscape 0.92.5 and with development builds.
Improvements
Extensions are now compatible with Python 3 as well as Python 2
The option to export to 'Save as...' > 'Cairo PNG' has been removed, as it was frequently confused with the 'Export PNG image' option
The snap package (for Linux) now supports GTK2 themes from common distros, via the gtk2-common-themes content interface
Notable bugfixes
As of Windows 10 (version 1809), fonts are installed into a new user-specific folder by default. Inkscape can now find and display those fonts, in your fonts drop down list. (Bug #50)
The default Perl interpreter executable on Windows was changed from "perl.exe" to "wperl.exe" which should usually avoid flashing a console window. (Bug #66)
Inset / Outset and calligraphy tool dots now honor document units (Commits #8b15224a and #53183233)
Fix stroke to path for dashed paths with round caps (Commit #cb555bdc)
Limit size of font preview (Commit #06cb5e15)
Files with spaces in names are now opened by the Inkscape snap [Linux] (Commit #1a1d78ad)

Remove GCodetools update check (Commit #45b59e76)
Remove Trace Bitmap dialog if Inkscape is compiled without potrace (Commit #880a88d9)
Remove spell checking dialog if the necessary spell checker library is not installed (Commit #287c3a7e)
Fix failing import of certain types of jpg files (usually originating from mobile phones) (Bug #632)

Known issues
0.92.5 is not as feature-packed as Inkscape 1.0 will be!
0.92.5 is not availabe for macOS. Please use the latest beta version of Inkscape 1.0, if you want a newer Inkscape that integrates better with macOS and works with high resolution screens. Catalina users must use the beta version, because Inkscape 0.92.2 will not run on macOS Catalina (Inkscape 0.92.2 is 32bit only).
Many of Inkscape's old bug reports still need to be tested and migrated to the new bug and feature request reporting page. While some progress has already been made, we still need your help with that task.
All (migrated and new) open issues for the project are listed on GitLab. If you have some time on your hands and can help fixing them, join us in the development chat and let us tackle them together.

Der Java-Diagrammzeichner yEd Graph Editor erstellt Diagramme und Schemazeichnungen wie Ablauf- und Netzwerkpläne oder UML-Diagramme. Die fertigen Grafiken exportiert die Anwendung als Pixelbilder und in die gängigen Vektorformate EPS, PDF sowie den W3C-Standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
Eine Stärke des Zeichenprogramms liegt in seinem Talent zum automatischen Layout etwa von Bäumen oder anderen hierarchischen Graphen; auch ungewöhnliche Anordnungen wie „organisch“ oder „kreisförmig“ gehören zum Repertoire.

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.
exists for several platforms
supports pressure sensitive graphics tablets
extensive brush creation and configuration options
unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
basic layer support
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.

OARS rating added to appdata (relevant for app-distribution software, but not much else).
A number of Py3 compatibility issues were fixed.
Svg icons fixed - some were previously considered invalid by librsvg >= 2.48.
Svg icon sizes reduced across the board.

Changelog
* New tools
---------
* Fill
Not actually a new tool, but promoted from a "Magic" tool
to a full-fledge tool in the "Tools" bar. However, also
avoids filling "Undo" buffer with snapshots of the drawing,
if the fill does nothing (e.g., if you click the same spot
a second time).
* Ports & Building
----------------
* Updates to build on Haiku.
Luc 'Begasus' Schrijvers <begasus@gmail.com>
* Replaced KDE (older, KDE4, in fact) specific icon and
launcher (.desktop file) installation & uninstallaton
invocations in Makefile with those that use Freedesktop.org
`xdg-...` tools.
* macOS build documentation updates.
Mark K. Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Wrapped some debug output in "#ifdef DEBUG" tests,
and made sure some warnings and errors were going to
STDERR, rather than STDOUT.
* Updates to build for Windows (using mingw/msys)
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp>
* Updates to 'spec' file for Linux RPM builds
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp>
* Other Improvements
------------------
* Added ability to move color palette options to the end of
the New dialog, for situations where users are meant to start
drawings with specific Starters or Templates.
Use "--newcolorslast" option.
(Suggested by Bernard Verhaeghe)
* Show progress bar while loading (more) stamps, to avoid
looking hung on slower systems or with complicated stamp images.
* Recognize signals (SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2) on POSIX systems,
which causes Tux Paint to quit, first saving the current drawing
(if unsaved) (like "--autosave"), either saving a new image
(like "--saveovernew") (via SIGUSR1), or overwritting the current
drawing (like "--saveover") (via SIGUSR2).
(Thanks to Flavio Airundo for the idea; closes
https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/188/)
* Updated most parts of the code that were throwing warnings in GCC.
* Build process generates thumbnails of included Starters and Templates.
When installed, this greatly increases the speed of the "New" dialog.
* Updated some Starter source images so they work better with
flood fill (Bald Eagle, World map, Gecko).
* Ability to disable stereo panning effect (e.g., paint brush, UI
elements sound effect feedback, etc.), useful for users with
hearing impairment in one ear, or situations where one speaker or
headphone is being used. Use "--nostereo" command-line option
or "nostereo=yes" config. file option.
* Documentation updates
---------------------
* Mended link to MinGW/MSYS instructions at John Popplewell's website.
(h/t "sechidis")
* Improved and expanded usage info (e.g., "tuxpaint --help" output)
* Documentation on POSIX signals recognized by Tux Paint (e.g.,
the new "SIGUSR1" & "SIGUSR2") added to a new doc file,
"SIGNALS.txt".
* Translation Updates:
--------------------
* Norwegian Nynorsk translation
Karl Ove Hufthammer <karl@huftis.org>
* Swahili
Benson Muite <benson_muite@emailplus.org>
* Valencian
Pilar Embid Giner <embid_mar@gva.es>
via Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal@gmail.com>
* Bug Fixes
---------
* Correct issue that prevented Tux Paint from lauching on Mac OS X 10.7.
(See https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/ci/d2ef2e17d1962111d0f6f91394dce81e8706d48b/
and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20206985/xcode-linking-against-applicationservices-framework-with-sdk-10-9-causes-10-7)
Mark K. Kim <mkkim214@gmail.com>
* Reduce launch time by calling progress bar less frequently
while loading stamps.
Mark K. Kim <mkkim214@gmail.com>
* Ability to bring up the print dialog from the macOS build was
removed in Tux Paint 0.9.23 to support the new build mechanism.
It has been re-added. To access it, option-click the print icon,
or configure Tux Paint to always bring up the dialog upon print.
Mark K. Kim <mkkim214@gmail.com>
* Made sure "New" dialog created correct thumbnail subdirectories
for personal Starters & Templates (e.g., ~/.tuxpaint/starters/thumbs/)
* Ensure that similarly-named (but not identically-named) PNG & SVG
Starters & Templates don't get confused with each other
(e.g., "frame_heart.png" being ignored, because we find
"frame_hearts.svg")
Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal@gmail.com>
* Misc
----
* Verbose debugging, and "DEBUG_PRINTF()" macro now available;
see debugging options in INSTALL.txt.
Mark K. Kim <mkkim214@gmail.com>
* Notes:
------
* 0.9.23a & 0.9.23b were test versions for macOS that Mark produced
and sent to individual users for testing.

New Features / Improvements:
Added a tab view to switch between images. The tabs can also be docked side-by-side or pulled into new windows. (#94).
The Rotate / Zoom dialog now supports zooming and panning (#1252756).
Added a Smooth Erase tool, which is enabled using the Type menu on the Erase tool's toolbar (#110).

Added an AppData file for integration with some Linux app stores (#121).
A new user guide has been written for the Pinta website! Thanks to @jeneira94, @akaro2424, and @anadvu for their contributions!
Changes:
.NET 4.5 / Mono 4.0 are now required.
Mono 6.x is strongly recommended for Mac and Linux users.
UI improvements to the New Image dialog (#99, [1424547).
The Rotate / Zoom dialog now rotates in-place instead of changing the layer's size.
Cairo blend operations are now used instead of PDN's managed blend modes (#98, #1248933, #1091910).
The tool windows can now only be closed with the View -> Tool Windows menu, as it was easy to accidentally close them without knowing how to recover them (#1428720).
The shortcut for the Intersect selection mode is now Alt + Left Click instead of using Shift, which had caused conflicts with holding Shift to constrain the selection to a square (#1426660).

The option to expand the canvas when pasting an image now only changes the canvas size in the dimension where the pasted image is larger (#1883623).
Fixed a bug where Auto Crop used the current layer instead of the entire image when deciding what to crop, and takes the selection into account (#1434928, #1434906).
Fixed potential crashes when switching tools without any open documents (#1425612).
Fixed a potential bug where the OK button in the New Image dialog could be incorrectly disabled (#1430203).

Changelog
New Features:
Color-managed PDF export using Scribus:
An experimental Scribus PDF export extension has been added. It is available as one of the many export formats in the 'Save as' and 'Save a Copy' dialogs.
To be able to get a correct and color-managed CMYK PDF file with text converted to curves that corresponds to your drawing in Inkscape, you must:
have Scribus 1.5.x installed (the Scribus executable must not be called scribus-ng)
have enabled color management for your document
have selected one color profile to use for the colors in your file
assign all colors in the document with the color managed color selector in the Fill and Stroke dialog
not use filters in your drawing (this includes blur)
not use any transparency if you're exporting to PDF/X-1, PDF/X-3 or PDF 1.3
not include any bitmap images
not use markers
not use any other SVG features that are not supported by Scribus
The page size corresponds to the document size in Scribus. When you add a bleed, an area of the given width outside the page area in Inkscape will be included in the PDF file.
Selectors and CSS dialog unhidden:
The Selectors and CSS dialog that had been hidden and labelled as 'experimental' in Inkscape 1.0 is now available from the Object menu.
The dialog makes it possible to add, remove and edit CSS properties that are saved within an element's 'style' attribute, as well as styling objects in the document using CSS classes and other CSS selectors. These additional styles are written into a style tag in the SVG document.
It can also be used to select all objects that belong to a specific class, so users will again be able to create collections of objects that are independend of the document structure (e.g. they belong to different groups in the drawing).
This dialog replaces the Selection Sets dialog that had been removed for Inkscape 1.0.
List all Colors in a document:
A new extension Color > List All lists all colors used in a document and indicates how often they are used (Commit)
Interpolate gradients:
The Interpolate extension now also interpolates gradients in fills and in strokes (before, it could only interpolate flat colors) and named colors (Commit).
New preferences option to limit screen tearing while editing:
In Edit > Preferences > Rendering: Redraw while editing, users can choose between the two options 'Responsive' and 'Conservative' to determine how quickly the canvas display is updated while editing objects. The default value is 'Responsive', which gives rendering a higher priority than it had previously and makes editing objects feel less sluggish (Commit)
Other small improvements:
Users can now define an ID for QR code groups rendered by the Render Barcode extension (Commit)
Extensions now understand what to do with the CSS unit Q (1/40th of a cm) (Commit)
Crash fixes:
Fix a crash:
when applying Offset LPE to groups (Commit)
when closing Inkscape while the filter editor dialog is open (Commit)
with some cursor themes that do not contain an upward arrow cursor (Commit)
when the file to open does not exist (Commit)
when resizing a document with a grid, when the document properties dialog is closed (Commit)
when opening a malformed pdf where the selected page does not exist (Commit)
when creating a clone of / opening a file with a symbol from an object with a CSS style (Commit)
when exporting an object identified by its ID to SVG from the command line (Commit)
when using the dropper tool a lot (Commit)
when trying to open Inkscape's stock filters file with the Inkscape flatpak version (Commit)
Other Bug fixes:

Snap now uses the system's font cache and thus finds all installed fonts (Commit). Additionally, it can now make use of extensions with custom user interfaces (e.g. InkStitch) (Commit)
Canvas:
The zoom correction factor no longer depends on the display unit, so correction works properly for documents that are not in mm (Commit)
Dialogs:
The document properties dialog can now be resized even if one is using display scaling on a hidpi screen on Linux
Rendering:
Zooming no longer causes artifacts when there is a path with an arc segment with a radius of 0 in the drawing (Commit)
Tools:
3D-box tool:
Keyboard shortcuts for changing angles in the 3D-box tool were adjusted to work as documented, even with the Y-axis inverted (Commit)
Circle tool:
Duplicated circles are now closed properly (Commit)
Eraser tool:
The mass value field is no longer greyed out and can be used (Commit)
Gradient tool:
Simplifying selected gradient stops with Ctrl+L works now (Commit)

Pencil tool:
The 'flatten simplify (LPE)' button now only shows up when it can be used (Commit)
Selector tool:
Keyboard shortcuts with Alt key for rotating objects also work as documented again with the Y-axis inversion (Commit)
Objects no longer seemingly jump or scale up when moving multiple of them with snapping turned on (Commit)
Default snap delay was set to 0 so snapping will work more precisely (Commit)
Text tool:
Line height doesn't change spontaneously when switching tools while having text selected (Commit)
Import / Export / Save:
when saving as PDF / PS / EPS + LaTeX, % signs are now properly escaped (Commit)
the dpi value for exporting to PNG can be specified as a decimal number again
attribute order is no longer reversed when saving as SVG, so comparing two SVG files is easier now (Commit)
Masking / Clipping:
When releasing or undoing a mask, objects will no longer become unselectable and will use their own bounding box (Commit)
Live Path Effects:
LPE selection dialog looks better now with some desktop themes (Commit)
Clone original LPE items now get the cloned or linked item's style by default instead of starting with a black fill. A regression that made it impossible to use text elements as source was fixed. Transforms (moving, stretching, shearing) are handled correctly now. (Commit)
Fill between many: option 'fuse coincident points' has been replaced with good defaults (Commit)
The Knot LPE allows to switch the direction of self-crossings (Commit)
When using the PowerStroke LPE with the join type 'extrapolated arc', the corners no longer have a dent, but are smooth again (Commit)
Roughen LPE now works more reliably (Commit)
Inkscape no longer becomes unresponsive when selecting an object that is used for the Pattern-Along-Path LPE (Commit)
Performance:

Specific extensions:
Plot extension and HPGL Output extension no longer have an option to automatically convert objects to path, this is now always done (except for texts) (Commit).
When switching plotter pens using the HPGL output extension, the plotter no longer makes a dot with the new pen at the end of the old pen's line (Commit). The extension now works with multiple pens (marked by their layer name in Inkscape) again (Commit).
The Interpolate extension now works with the tutorial files again (Commit).
The extension Render > Barcode > Datamatrix now renders 64 x 64 datamatrices correctly (Commit).
Rendering a 3D Polyhedron no longer gives deprecation warnings (Commit).

Changelog
This update has been brought to you by the contributions of: Darshan Phaldesai (luiq54), Igor Santarek (jegor377), rob-a-bolton, Kinwailo, Michael Alexsander (YeldhamDev), Hugo Locurcio (Calinou), Martin Novák (novhack), Xenofon Konitsas (huskeee), Matthew Paul (matthewpaul-us)
Added
The Web (HTML5) is now a supported platform of Pixelorama! It is now possible to save .png and .pxo files, as well as load image and palette files in the Web version. Made possible thanks to https://github.com/Pukkah/HTML5-File-Exchange-for-Godot
Windows, Linux, macOS and Web builds are now automatically generated every time a commit is pushed to master by GitHub Actions.
Project tabs! You can now have multiple projects open at the same time, and access each one with tabs.
Gradient generation. A new option under the "Image" menu that lets you generate a RGB gradient.
The dialog windows of most image effects have been improved. You can now select if you want the effect to apply in the selection, the current cel, the entire frame, all frames or even all projects (tabs)!
Added previews in all image effect dialog windows with a checkerboard background. Also placed checkerboard backgrounds in the cel buttons of the timeline, and the Export window. (#206)
A new isometric grid!
Ability to remove the current palette. (#239)
You can now drag & drop files into the program while it's running to open them. You can open .pxo files, image files and palette (json, gpl and pal) files this way.
You can now draw on the tiling mode previews! (#65)
Added Resize Canvas option to Image menu.
Added Symmetry Guides. They let you change the axis of symmetry for mirroring. (#133)
Palettes can now be created from the colors of the selected sprite.
You can now preview how the frames of the spritesheet you are importing will look.
You can now import image files as layers. Their size will be cropped to the project's size.
You can import image files as brushes, patterns and palettes.
Buttons have been added in Preferences to restore each setting to its default state.
Created a NSIS installer for Windows. (#303)
Added Scale3X algorithm as an option to scale sprites (#290)
Added "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete" options in the Edit menu. (#281)
Selection region and size are now being shown when making a selection on the top, next to the position label. (#281)
Added color overwrite option for the Pencil tool. (#282)
Flip, desaturation and invert colors now have dialogs with previews and extra options. You can now choose individual color channels to invert, including alpha.
A play button has been added for playing the animation exclusively on the small canvas preview area. A zoom slider for the preview area has been added, too.
Added color previews next to the themes in Preferences.
Added options for the checkerboard background to follow camera movement and zoom level. (#311)
Added support for importing PAL palette files. (#315)
Added Hungarian, Korean and Romanian translations.
Changed
The GDNative gif exporter addon has been replaced with a GDScript equivalent. This makes gif exporting possible in all currently supported platforms, and it also adds support for transparency. (#295)
Drawing is no longer limited by the canvas boundaries. This means that, if you have a brush largen than 1px, you can draw on the edges of the canvas. All pixels that are being drawn outside of the canvas will still have no effect.
The guides are now the same for all frames.
Imported frames are now being cropped to the project's size. It is no longer possible to have multiple sizes for each frame at all in the same project.
Pixel perfect is no longer enabled when the brush size is bigger than 1px.
The .pxo file structure has been changed. It's now consisted of a JSON-structured metadata part, where all the data that can be stored as text are, and a binary part, that contain all the actual image data for each cel and project brush.
You can now choose if you want your .pxo to use ZSTD compression or not.
To make a straight line, you now have to hold Shift while dragging (moving and pressing) your mouse. Releasing your mouse button makes the line. (#281)
When making a straight line, a preview of how the line's pixels will look is now being shown. (#260)
Drawing lines with Ctrl are now constrained at 1:1 and 1:2 (#201)
Pixelorama now remembers the selected colors, tools and their options when it's closed and re-opened. (#281)
The "pixelorama" folder, which contains data like Brushes, Patterns and Palettes has been renamed to "pixelorama_data" for all non-XDG directory paths.
Mac builds will now have the execute permission by default, and they will be in .dmg form. (#319)
Linux builds will also have the execute permission by default, and will be compressed as tar.gz instead of .zip.
Drawing brushes with mirror also mirrors the images of the brushes themselves. (#281)
When making a new palette or importing one and its name already exists, Pixelorama will add a number to its name. For example, "Palette_Name" would become "Palette_Name (2)", "Palette_Name (3)", etc.
Re-organized preferences dialog.
The "create new image" dialog now remembers the last created canvas size. The default image settings are being used only when Pixelorama first launches. (#178)
Language and theme checkboxes are now radio buttons.
The Blue theme has more similar margins and seperations with the rest of the themes.
Fullscreen can be toggled on and off from the View menu.
Multi-threaded rendering has been enabled. (#294)
Use the Dummy audio driver since Pixelorama doesn't play any sounds. (#312)
Fixed
Exporting large images and drawing with large image brushes is now a lot faster. (Because of Godot 3.2.2)
Pixel perfect strokes no longer leave gaps when the mouse is moving fast. (#281)
Fixed failed imports of gpl palettes by adding support for the newer variant of gpl files. (#250)

Fixed issue where if you moved a frame to the start (move left), it was invisible.
Fixed a rare issue with Undo/Redo not working while motion-drawing and making lines.
Grid and guides are now longer being displayed on previews. (#205)
Fixed a rare problem where the custom mouse cursor's image was failing to load.
Importing corrupted image files and non-palette json files no longer crash the app.
Drawing brushes no longer have clipping issues. (#281)
When undoing a removal of a brush, the brush index is no longer incorrect. (#281)
Fix out-of-bounds error when color picking outside the image. (#291)
When a color is being selected from a palette, the outline of the color's button no longer disappears when drawing. (#329)

Changelog
Added
The lighten/darken tool now has a hue shifting mode. It lets users configure the shift in hue, saturation and value of the new shaded pixels. (#189)
Added a "frame properties" option on the popup menu that appears when right-clicking on a cel. This lets the user choose a custom frame delay for that specific frame. (#357)
You can now select if you want rotation to apply in the selection, the current cel, the entire frame, all frames or even all projects (tabs)!
You can now change the transparency of the Tile Mode in the Preferences. (#368)
Added a "Recent Projects" option in the File menu, to contain the most recently opened projects. (#370)
HiDPI support - Pixelorama's UI can now be scaled in the Preferences. (#140)
More options have been added to Tile mode; Tile only in X Axis, Y Axis or both Axis. (#378)
Added a "Mirror View" option in the View menu, which is used to flip the canvas horizontally and non-destructively. (#227)
macOS: It is now possible to pan and zoom the canvas from a touchpad. (#391)
Added Turkish and Japanese translations.
Changed
~ is now used as a random brush prefix instead of %. (#362)
The default path of the dialogs for opening and saving is now the user's desktop folder.
When there are errors in opening and saving files, the errors appear in the form of a popup dialog, instead of a notification or an OS alert.
The CJK font (for Chinese & Korean) was changed to DroidSansFallback from NotoSansCJKtc. This results in a much smaller exported .pck (over 10MB less!)
Onion skinned previous and next frames are now being drawn on top of the current frame. This fixes issues where onion skinning would not work with an opaque background.
In onion skinning, you can now set the past and future steps to 0. (#380)
Tile mode is now project-specific. (#388)
macOS: Shortcuts with the Control keyboard button have now been changed to use "Command" instead. (#393)
Fixed
Made .pxo saving safer. In case of a crash while parsing JSON data, the old .pxo file, if it exists, will no longer be overwritten and corrupted.
Fixed issue where the user could grab and could not let go of the focus of guides even when they were invisible.
Fixed issues where fully transparent color could not be picked. One of these cases was #364.
Fixed "Export" option in the File menu not working properly and not remembering the directory path and file name when switching between projects (tabs).
When opening a .pxo project which has guides, they will no longer be added to the project at the first tab too.
Symmetry guides now adjust their position when the image is being resized. (#379)
Fixed various issues with the transparent background checker size. (#377)
Fixed Chinese and Korean characters not being displayed properly in the Splash dialog and the About dialog.
Fixed crash when importing an incorrectly formatted GIMP Color Palette file. (#363)
Using the lighten/darken tool on pixels with an alpha value of 0 no longer has an effect on them.
Fixed freeze when switching to a project of a larger size and using an image effect, with the affected parts being set to something different that "Current cel".

Bug fixes
General
Copy-Paste:
A long-standing, very annoying bug where, when copying an object to the clipboard while also running certain other programs on Linux desktops (mainly clipboard managers), caused multiple export extension dialogs to open, has been fixed, so you can now again use your favorite clipboard manager while also using Inkscape (Commit fe7c68, Bug #575)
When copy-pasting some items along with their originals/frames/paths (clones, text-on-path, text-in-a-shape, linked offsets), they are no longer displaced in relation to the pasted original (Commit b93f21, Bug #853)
Stroke to Path: Converting an object's stroke to a path no longer makes its clones vanish (Bug #1120)
Performance: Improved rendering performance when zooming through multiple zoom levels (Commit 28e21e)
CSS: CSS classes that start with a letter that isn't part of the ASCII set are no longer ignored (Bug #1094)
Cleanup: An outdated link that pointed to a potentially offensive website now has been removed from a branding document (Commit 88efa4)
User interface: Random actions should no longer cause sudden scaling of the canvas (Commit 49fc36)
Markers: When adding a marker to a line, it can now be removed with a single Undo action again (not two) (Commit 179fe9, Bug #2130)
Circle Tool:
Arcs from Inkscape files created with versions older than 1.0 are no longer rendered as slices (Bug #1900)
When dragging on an ellipse's handles inside the ellipse to create an arc, Inkscape no longer renders it as a closed slice (Commit def938)
Eraser Tool:
A long-standing issue with the Eraser tool painting red lines instead of erasing as soon as the user has interacted with a menu or dialog or another user interface element has been fixed (Bug #2068, Commit 2057bf)
Live Path Effects:
Fixed some issues with linked LPE item transforms (Commit 546b64, Commit e3cad6)
Mesh Gradient tool:
Objects with a mesh gradient now keep their fill when copied to a different document (Bug #579)
Filter Editor dialog:
The dialog elements are readable now when using a dark theme (Bug #885)
Objects dialog:
The search function in the 'Objects' dialog shows results again (Bug #1736)
Selectors and CSS dialog:
In addition to multiple crash fixes (see below), the dialog now correctly recognizes style tags inside the documents defs section (Commit 12f4d6, Bug #905)
Text:
A series of related bugs with text objects was fixed (MR #2434).
All of the affected actions required a text object to behave like a path, but it behaved like a group, and the action failed. This series of bugs mostly affected new users who were following tutorials which did not work as expected.
Specifically, the following actions now work again:
A text object unioned with itself results in a single path again.
Text objects can again be used with other objects in all Boolean operations.
Text objects can again be inset and outset.
Text objects can again be used to create a Dynamic Offset or a Linked Offset.
The font preview sample now contains the correct currency symbols €¢ (instead of 342202254302242). One needs to reset the preferences to see the updated font sample text (MR #2547).
Custom font folders are found now and taken into account, even when the installed Pango version is newer than 1.44.7 (Bug #1977, Commit 1771fa)
Crash fixes:
A variety of crashes have been fixed for this current bugfix release.
Specifically, we fixed a crash …
… when drawing with the Calligraphy tool inside a group with the 'Rotate copies' live path effect (and possibly when adding items to groups with a different path effect applied to them) (Commit b62cd9, MR #2386)
… when duplicating a text that had lost the frame it was flowed in (Bug #1919)
… that happened randomly when using undo / redo (Commit 3cb09a)
… when importing an SVGZ file by drag-and-drop (Commit b8e782, Bug #906)
… that occurred sporadically when closing Inkscape (Bug #1918, Commit 275d15)
… when popping an object out of its current group (Commit a803b1, Bug #1770)
… or, actually, multiple different crashes occuring with the Selectors and CSS dialog on Redo, Undo and Clone actions, as well as on closing the document and when having a duplicate window open (Commit 12f4d6, Bugs #142, #828, #1168, #1157, #688)
… with the Clone LPE (Commit e3cad6)
… when trying to export to PDF when there are markers included in the document whose color is defined by context-stroke (like Inkscape stock markers) (Bug #1984, Commit 9b5de7)
… / a freeze that occured when importing a PDF file with many icc color spaces defined (Bug #1878, Commit 5c1048)
… when trying to import a PDF file with Poppler version 21.0.1 (Commit c30ae8, Bug #2180)
… when starting Inkscape compiled with musl instead of glibc (affecting certain Linux distributions e.g. VoidLinux, Alpine, Gentoo) (Commit #a32669, Bug #2147)
Extension bug fixes:
Specific extensions:
A few label texts were improved in the new "Scribus PDF Export" extension (MR #226)
The preview works again for the "Interpolate" extension (Bug #303)
Extension failure fixes:
"Change case" extension works again (Bug #302)
"Interpolate attribute in a group" extension works again (Bug #310)

Fixed regression that prevented layout algorithms to properly connect edges to the visual bounds of nodes. [Q&A 21678], [Q&A 22046]
Fixed regression that prevented pasting of nodes that were copied from inside a closed group node.
Fixed inconsistent ordering of palette sections in the 'Add to Palette' context menu. [Q&A 19997]
Fixed selection changes that sometimes occurred after running One-Click layout. [Q&A 22201]
Many bugfixes great and small.
Removed Features:
Removed yEd's IconFinder client for importing symbols into user-defined palette sections. IconFinder no longer offers the service interface required for this feature.
Removed the HTML Flash Viewer and SWF export formats. Both formats relied on Adobe™ Flash™ and thus could not be used as intended anymore.

Changelog
* New Features
------------
* Export drawings:
* GIF export option from the Open -> Slideshow dialog.
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/191/)
* Utilizes "gifenc", public domain by Marcel Rodrigues:
https://github.com/lecram/gifenc
* Depends on "libimagequant", from the "pngquant2" project:
https://github.com/ImageOptim/libimagequant
(GPL v3 or later, for Free/Libre Open Source Software)
(h/t TOYAMA Shin-ichi for adding support for versions < 2.8.0)
* Single image (PNG) export from the Open dialog.
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/192/)
* Both utilize XDG user dirs settings, if available, to determine
where to store them, or "~/Pictures", otherwise. In those cases,
files are stored in a new "TuxPaint" subdirectory.
* The "--exportdir" option can be used to override the default
location (but a "TuxPaint" subdir. will NOT be placed there).
* Shape controls:
* Draw shapes from the center (as in previous versions of Tux Paint)
or from a corner (similar to the default mode of most other
graphics tools).
* The controls to modify the drawing behavior can be removed,
for simplification of Tux Paint's interface (for younger users).
* Other Improvements
------------------
* New, smaller sizes available in "Eraser" tool.
(h/t Jackson Bray for the suggestion)
* "Eraser" tool now draws smoothly connected strokes,
like the "Brush" tool, when the mouse is moved quickly
(relative to the eraser size; especially useful for the
smallest erasers).
* On-screen keyboard (visible when the feature is enabled, while
using the "Text" and "Label" tools) now appears with larger
(48x48 pixel, vs 24x24 pixel) buttons, when Tux Paint's window
(or fullscreen) size is large enough to fit them with the
chosen layout.
(h/t Anat & Aviv, who suggested it to help with users of
eye-tracking systems)
* On-screen keyboard buttons use a slightly larger font
(16pt vs 12pt, previously seen on the small keyboard;
32pt on the large keyboard).
* Ports & Building
----------------
* Corrections for Haiku not opening saved files.
(Ref: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/issues/3045)
Gerasim Troeglazov <3dEyes@gmail.com>
* Windows build changes
* Enabling PowerTools repositry to install additional SDL* packages
* Corrected README launcher for English, after install completes
* Updated translation files and ensure license text appears
* Support for Mingw64 for 64-bit builds
* Ability to find Mingw DLLs by examining EXEs
(new shell script replaces hard-coded list in Makefile)
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp>

* Converted FAQ from bullet lists to definition lists.
* Bug Fixes
---------

when "getenv()" (e.g., "getenv("LANGUAGE")") returned an
empty string, rather than a NULL.
* Mended bug where corrupt text would appear as stamp
descriptions, if we failed to know what language to use

Pixelorama is a free and open source sprite editor, ideal for pixel art. In this page you'll be learning about the latest added features, as well as its features in general. Keep in mind that we are currently developing this software, so it misses some features, may have some bugs and needs a better UI.
MIT License
Changelog
Added
A new pan tool, used to move around the canvas. (#399)
Dragging and dropping individual cels in the timeline to change their position is now possible.
You can now resize cels in the timeline by holding Control and scrolling with the mouse wheel.
Added a new "Performance" tab in the Preferences that exposes options related to the application's FPS to the user.
You can now change the transparency of the application's window, allowing for easier tracing/rotoscoping. (Does not work on the Web version) (#444)
Added a new pixel grid, which is a grid of size 1px and it appears after a certain zoom level. (#427)
Added offset options to the grid. (#434)
The isometric grid has been refactored to work better and to offer more changeable options, such as the width and height of the cell bounds. (#430)
Pixelorama macOS binaries are now universal, which means that they should work with both x86_64 and ARM64 Mac devices. - Thanks to Godot 3.3
Added portrait and landscape buttons in the new image dialog.
Full support for auto Tallscreen/Widescreen has been implemented. (#458)
Added a new Centralize Image option in the Image menu, which places the visible pixels of the image in the center of the canvas. (#441)
Implemented the options to import a spritesheet as a new layer and to import an image and have it replace an already existing frame. (#453)
More templates have been added when creating a new sprite. (#450)
Added a keyboard shortcut for clear selection, Control-D. (#457)
Added an option in the Preferences for interface dimming on dialog popup. If this is enabled, the application background gets darker when a dialog window pops up.
Changed
Undo and redo now work when their respective keyboard shortcuts are being held. (#405)
CPU usage has been significantly been lowered when Pixelorama is idle. (#394)
The FPS of the project animation is now stored in the pxo file. This effectively means that every project can have its own FPS.
You can no longer draw on hidden layers.
You can now toggle if you want the grid to be drawn over the tile mode or just the original part of the canvas. (#434)
Frame tags can now be set for frames larger than 100. (#408)
The "lock aspect ratio" button in the create new image dialog has been changed to a texture button.
Improved the "Scale Image" dialog. It now automatically sets the size to the current project's size, has a button to lock aspect ratio, and resizing based on percentage.
Having no active selection no longer treats all the pixels of the canvas as selected. This is also a performance boost, especially for larger images, as Pixelorama no longer has to loop through all of the pixels to select them.
Tile mode rects are now cached for a little speedup. (#443)
The zoom tool now works on the second canvas too.
Fixed
Fixed issue with pixels being selected outside of the canvas boundaries, when the selection rectangle was outside the canvas and its size got reduced.
Major performance increase when drawing large images.
Fixed layer button textures not being updated properly when changing theme. (#404)
Keyboard shortcut conflicts between tool shortcuts and other shortcuts that use the "Control" key, like menu shortcuts, have been resolved. (#407)
The opacity of a cel and the tile mode opacity are now multiplicative. (#414)
Fixed an issue where adding a new layer did not select it, rather it was selecting the above layer of the previously selected layer. (#424)
Fixed issue that occurred when the application window regained focus and the tool was immediatly activated. (35f97eb)
Fixed cel opacity not always being updated on the UI. (#420)
Loading empty backed up projects no longer result in a crash. (#445)
Fixed potential index out of bounds error when loading backup files. (#446)
Mirroring view should now work on all tools.
Fixed hue and saturation getting reset when draging value slider to zero. (#473)
Image effects will not longer get applied to locked and/or hidden layers.
Fixed memory leaks when opening and closing Pixelorama. (#387)

* New Features
------------
* Larger UI buttons
Override the ages-old default 48x48 size for UI buttons
(via a new "buttonsize" option). Note: If the button size
would be too large for the required parts of the UI to appear
within Tux Paint's window size, the largest possible size will
be used.
Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org>
* It's now possible to increase how many rows of buttons are shown
for the color palette at the bottom of the screen.
(Use the "colorsrows" option.)
Pere Pujal i Carabantes <pere@fornol.no-ip.org>
* Adding sub-tools to the Fill tool:
+ Solid -- The classic fill tool; click to fill
+ Linear -- A linear gradient; click and drag to adjust,
release mouse to finish
+ Radial -- A radial gradient; click to fill
(The gradients transition from the current color to the
background that's being filled.)
* New Magic Tools:
----------------
* Checkerboard
Cover the entire canvas with a checkboard pattern using the
current color. Drag to change the size of the squares.
* Clone
Clones (copies, via painting) part of a drawing to another position.
* Pixels
Draws large squares, for classic computer 'pixel art' style drawings.
* Documentation updates
---------------------
* Documentation is now maintained in a separate source repository,
'tuxpaint-docs', which allows for easier and more consisten
translation of the documentation. Pulling in initial version of
these docs, which contain a variety of minor updates (and also a
few which had previously only been available as plain TXT are now
available as HTML).

* Documented how to build Tux Paint using old macOS
Mark K. Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Added more credits to manpage. Avoiding word-wrapping
URLs and email addresses. Saved out as UTF-8, rather than
Latin-1 encoding.
* Other Improvements
------------------
* Fill tools do a better job at filling around
antialiased edges, and apply some blending.
* Reduce CPU usage by increasing delay in main loop
from 1ms to 10ms, and only using SDL's Timer subsystem
when scrolling happens.

(h/t @bbugwong on Twitter for reporting the issue)
* If parent of export directory doesn't exist, Tux Paint will
try to create it as well.
(Only one level up; e.g., with an export location like
/path/to/Pictures/TuxPaint/, it will try to create

Changelog
* New Magic Tools:
----------------
* "Lightning" - Draws a bolt of lightning striking between
the start and end positions of a line.
* "Opposite" -- Change parts of the picture to their complementary
colors. (Similar to "Negative", but instead of inverting the
Red, Green, and Blue components, it rotates the Hue 180 degrees
while leaving Saturation and Lightness alone.)
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/136/)
* "Panels" - Convert your picture to 4-panel-comic-style
2x2 image, repeating the original. (Repeat for "compound eye"
style effects!)
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/204/)
* "Reflection" - Create a reflection of part of the image,
below (as in a lake reflection), above, to the left, or to the right.
* "Smooth Rainbow" - A smooth, gradient variation of the classic
"Rainbow" Magic tool.
* "Stretch" - Squish and stretch parts of your picture, giving a
fun-house mirror effect.
* Magic Tool Improvements:
------------------------
* "Halftone" works much better, drawing large overlapping circles
of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, based on the average
color of the area of the picture being replaced, to give a
"newsprint" effect.
* "TV" now breaks pixels into red/green/blue components,
rather than merely adding a 'scanline' effect.
* "Blocks", "Cartoon", "Chalk", "Emboss", and "Halftone" can all now
affect the entire image at once.
* More tools update progress bar while doing lots of work
(mostly full-screen mode). More tools play their sound effects
when applying effects in full-screen mode.
* Improvements to "Paint" and "Lines" tools:
------------------------------------------
* Rotational brushes now supported. Unlike "directional"
brushes, in which a 3x3 grid representing the 8 cardinal
directions (45 degree steps) is used, only a single brush image
is required, and Tux Paint will rotate it between 0 and 360 degrees,
depending on the direction the mouse is going. The brush's ".dat"
file should contain a line consisting of the word "rotate".
+ Note: This adds a dependency on "SDL_gfx" library

SourceForge project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdlgfx/)
as this feature use it's "rotozoomSurface()" and "SDL_gfxBlitRGBA()".
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/122/)
* Replaced the "arrow_compass_points" brush with a single
arrow which can rotate at any angle, using the new
"rotational" brush feature.
* Added "rotating dash" brush.
* Small icons appear on brush selection buttons denoting
when the brush is animated and/or directional.
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/183/)
* Other Improvements:
-------------------
* New "Fill" tool mode: "Brush". Similar to classic flood fill,
but only fills as you move the brush within the area to be
filled.
* Grouped similar Magic tools into sections.
(e.g., all of the distortions, versus painting tools, versus
full-image effects, etc.)
Use the left/right pagination buttons that now appear at the
bottom of the selector (similar to those used with Stamps tool)
to switch between groups.
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/201/
Note: Bumps `TP_MAGIC_API_VERSION` to 0x00000005.
* Initial support to place pictures deleted from the "Open" dialog
into the "Recycle Bin" on Windows.
* When drawing lines or rotating a shape, the angle of rotation
is shown (in the instructions at the bottom).
* Documentation updates:
---------------------
* Ensured Tux Paint's built-in help ("tuxpaint --help"),
Unix manual ("man page"), and command-line option
tab-completion list, and "OPTIONS" documentation all cover
the full set of Tux Paint options.
* Reorganized the "Available Options" section of "OPTIONS"
documentation (to match the organization found in the UI
of "Tux Paint Config.")
* Reorganized the options listed in Tux Paint's man page,
to more closely (but not precisely) match the organization
noted above.
* tuxpaint(1) manpage is now managed & translatable via the
'tuxpaint-docs' project, just like the HTML & plaintext
documentation files (since 0.9.26).
* Documentation to the various Magic tools are also now
managed & translatable via the 'tuxpaint-docs' project.
* Added table of contents to some documentation
("Options Documentation", "FAQ", "Installation Documentation",
and "Advanced Stamps 'How-To'").
* Moved Windows and macOS compilation instructions into main
"Installation Documentation" (docs/.../INSTALL...).
* Expanded explanation of how stamp tinting modes work
in "Extending Tux Paint" documentation.
* Documentation translation updates:
+ French translation

* Ensure some locales have hints to find the best fonts
for the Text and Label tools:
+ Greek
+ Scottish Gaelic
* Bug Fixes:
----------
* "Negative" magic tool did not play its sound when using
fullscreen (vs painting) mode. Fixed.
* "Zoom" magic tool icon had weird artifacting. Mended.
* "Halftone" magic tool had the "Zoom" tool's icon.
* Undo buffer canvases were not always the same dimensions
as the drawing surface, if buttonsize was adjusted.
(Adversely affected "Shift" magic tool.)
* Remove some old Win32-specific code to handle multibyte
characters, which could cause a crash bug when using the
on-screen keyboard under Windows. (Older mingw/msys did
not supply a needed function.)
* h/t @Miyagi_Andel on Twitter for reporting the crash
* h/t Pere Pujal i Carabantes for confirming how to reproduce it
* TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp> dropped the old
code and rebuilt Tux Paint 0.9.26 for Win32 as 0.9.26-5
* Note: This means dropping support for Windows 2000 & XP
* (Also, remove Windows-only call to `_nl_locale_name()`,
and avoid crashing if our `mysetenv()` receives any NULL pointers.
T. Shin-Ichi & Bill K.)
* Always show the appropriate instructions at the bottom when the
"Fill" (depends on which sub-tool chosen) and "Shapes" (depends
on whether "simpleshapes" option is set) tools are selected
(e.g., when returning from the "Open" dialog).
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/186/)
* Avoid possibility of crashing when doing a flood-fill of a
complicated shape on a large canvas (e.g., `tuxpaint --3000x2000`
with `starters/mosaic.svg`
+ Replace recursion with a queue (span filling method)
+ Call the progress bar animation updates and playsound() function
less frequently
h/t Yang for reporting & Pere for confirming
* Ports & Building
----------------
* Fix compilation error on Linux with HOST environment variable set.
Modifies the Makefile so it attempts to cross compile only when both
HOST and HOSTROOT environment variable (which are both required for
cross compilation) are set; avoid confusion when an unrelated
$HOST env. var. is set.
Mark K. Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Include "AppVersion" directive to Windows installer Inno Setup
recipe file (.iss).
Easton Pillay <https://sourceforge.net/u/jedieaston/profile/>
* Other Windows installer updates:
+ Updated to Inno Setup 6
+ 64-bit version now to be installed in the standard "Program Files"
folder on 64-bit architecture instead of "Program Files (x86)" as before.
+ 64-bit installer will invoke uninstaller for existing old x86 mode
installation, if found.
+ Updated translation files for the installer
+ Added language specification to start menu shorcuts for which
translation is supported both for the web site and installer.
+ Disabled start menu shortcut to outdated translations of README.html.
+ Remove old OpenCandy stuff from Windows .iss file.
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp>
* Added shell script to build windows installer and portable zip archive.
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <shin1@wmail.plala.or.jp>
* Further work to remove compiler warnings.

Lunacy is a full-fledged Sketch editor. Using Lunacy, you can create new designs. It’s a perfect tool for prototyping. You can add simple shape elements to your layout (such as drawing an oval, rectangle, line, or adding a bitmap) and drawing, aligning, and joining objects.
Freeware
Changelog
Support for Apple Silicon:
Now Lunacy can run on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. You can download the build on our website. Later it will also be available on the App Store.
Scale tool:
We revamped the Scale feature and moved it from the context toolbar to the main toolbar. You no longer need to define the required scale percentage. Simply select an object, click Scale too icon on the toolbar (or press K) and drag the bounding box.
With the Scale tool selected, you can edit any of the settings (say, width) in the Inspector. Then press Enter, and Lunacy will scale all the other settings accordingly.
View Only and Export Only access to cloud documents:
When sharing a cloud document, you can select the access level to the document:
Edit — full access to the document (except for deletion).
Export — users with this access level cannot edit documents. They can only view and export selected objects or the whole project, and inspect the code of the objects. For instance, you can grant export access to developers.
View — users with this access level can only view the content of the document.
Code and Inspect panels:
We redesigned the Code panel for better usability. Also, now it features the Inspect panel (Alt+0 or ?+0) where you can view and copy values for selected objects:
Dimensions
Content of text layers
Colors in different color models
Styling options (borders, shadows, etc.)
Improvements:
IME now works fine on Windows. The support for IME on Linux and macOS will be added in upcoming versions.
Prototype sharing is back.
Better SVG export.
Improved rendering performance: gigantic files are welcome.
GPU rendering for M1 Macs.
Linux ARM build is now available.
Re-designed log in screen.

Pixelorama is a free and open source sprite editor, ideal for pixel art. In this page you'll be learning about the latest added features, as well as its features in general. Keep in mind that we are currently developing this software, so it misses some features, may have some bugs and needs a better UI.

Changelog
Added
Pixelorama is now available on the Open Store for Ubuntu Touch. #517
A new ARM build for the Raspberry Pi 4 is now available! #598
It is now possible to hold Control to quickly change a tool's mode. #429
Holding Alt while having a draw tool selected now works as a color picker. #125
Added an opacity option in the Eraser's tool options, which lets the user change the strength of the tool.
You can now rotate the canvas non-destructively. #558
A timer has been added in the HSV and Rotation image effect dialogs that let the user change the delay between the preview refresh, in order to prevent performance issues. #531
The zoom tool behavior has been enhanced, clicking and dragging to the left now zooms out, and clicking and dragging to the right zooms in. #540
New left and right arrows on the splash screen to switch between the different artworks. #538
New setting in the Preferences that lets the user change the idle FPS. #543
Added a README file for the macOS version that provides more information regarding the Gatekeeper. #545
Added an "Open Logs Folder" option in the Help menu. #546
Options to place the onion skinning previews above or below the canvas are now available. #600
Added a clipboard pattern button. This lets the users fill patterns taken from the application's clipboard (copying selected content).
Changed
Flipping the image's selected content now works as expected. The selection gets flipped with the content as well.
Cache Save/Open Sprite Dialog's directory, and keep dialogs synced. #559
The color pickers now display the previous color and allow selecting it back - because of the update to Godot 3.4.
The desaturation effect now uses luminance. #557
A random color now appears when creating a new animation tag, along with other various improvements and fixes. #560
The guides now become transparent when they out of canvas bounds, along with other various improvements and fixes. #561
Moved window opacity settings to a dedicated dialog with a slider and a spinbox.

The application now pauses when it loses focus instead of limiting its FPS. Of course, this behavior remains toggleable by the user.
The undo/redo notification text for selection has been renamed to "Select" from "Rectangle Select".
Fixed
The "Pixelorama.app is damaged" error in macOS should no longer appear. macOS builds are now ad-hoc signed. #602
Removing a project tab that is on the left of the currently active tab will no longer result in a crash when attempting to save.
Merging layers with less than 100% opacity no longer crashes the application. #541
Fixed crash when drawing and switching tools using shortcuts. #618
Fixed issue with copying and pasting content between projects of different sizes.
Project data no longer remain in memory after the user has removed their tab.
Fixed issues with guides and notifications not working properly when the UI is scaled.
A bug was fixed where when the user has another application as their focus and reenters Pixelorama with the mouse but not focusing it and then exiting with the mouse, the target FPS would be set to the standard. #543
Fixed issue with the backup confirmation dialog extending horizontally infinitely, which made the buttons disappear. Its text has also been changed.
Fixed unexpected behavior which occurred while undoing in the middle of drawing. #603
Pressing X on the backup confirmation dialog should start the backup autosave timer.
The "Brush color from" tool option no longer appears in the Eraser and Shading tool's options.
Fixed Alt-Tab causing the cursor to get stuck. #552
Some optimizations have been made, which should result in Pixelorama opening a bit faster, and input event handling is also using less CPU usage.
Fixed project not having the correct size if the default image size has been changed in the Preferences.
Fix issue where the timeline would be unresponsive if zen mode was toggled off and on.

Changelog
Easier component state management:
The Inspector panel now features the Component section, so it has become way easier to manage components and their states.
To create a component, select a layer or a group of layers, and click + next to the Component section. Lunacy will create a component with a default state.
To add a new component state, select a component and click + next to any available state. The component edit view will show up. Make the required changes, then press Esc or click over the canvas anywhere beyond the component to exit the edit mode.
To switch between states, select a component, then select the required state in the Inspector.
For other actions, use the respective controls at the bottom of the Component section.
Improvements:
Comments are now available only in cloud documents.
You can now click through empty pixels in bounding boxes. It means that it has become easier to select underlying layers.
Now, when you draw artboards and shapes or create a text block, you immediately see the artboards, shapes, and text, not their contours.
Lunacy now automatically adjusts the font size depending on the size of a text block.
Now, when you create a text box, Lunacy automatically sets the text color to black or white depending on the background color.
We removed the Zoom tool and added the Hand tool (Z) to the toolbar.
Now, when you duplicate a main component, Lunacy creates an instance of the component, not a new main component.
Now Lunacy synchronizes some of your settings across different devices. These include the theme (dark or light), artboard presets, custom palettes, and other settings.
Improved UI for sharing cloud documents.

Redesigned context menu:
Context menu has become more compact and easier to use. The most popular commands (Copy, Paste, Lock, and other) now appear as buttons. Depending on how the menu shows up on the canvas (down- or upwards), the button bar appears at the top or the bottom of the menu so that it is close to the mouse pointer.
Also, the context menu now features the Move to Page option that lets you quickly move layers between document pages.
Track viewport mode:
Now, you can use the Track Viewport mode in the Layer List to view only the layers that you currently see on the canvas. To enable/disable the mode, click Track viewport mode icon in the Search field above the Layers List.
Setting hyperlinks to layers:
You can now set hyperlinks to any layer in your file and quickly jump to this layer from any place in the document. Even if the linked layer is on the other page of the document. You can use this feature, for example, to ensure navigation in large files.
Improvements:
Improved comments synchronization between cloud prototypes and the app.
Now, Lunacy remembers the latest font color that you used and applies to new text blocks. And only if the color of the background where you place a new text block doesn’t ensure proper readability, Lunacy will use black or white font color.
Now, if you enable a shape tool (rectangle, ellipse, triangle, etc.) and click over the canvas, Lunacy creates a shape with the default size of 100x100px and 100px for lines and arrows. The default artboard size is 375x812px.
Shadows and blurs now appear in the Effects section of the Inspector.

Changelog
Added:
A new Window menu has been added that has the new UI system options, as well as Zen mode and Fullscreen mode that were previously under the View menu.
A similarity option has been added to the "same color pixels" mode of the bucket tool. #649
Added an experimental Extensions system that will let the users make their own extensions that add new functionality to Pixelorama. Keep in mind that this is still experimental and backwards compatibility is NOT guaranteed - use at your own risk.
A grayscale mode for the canvas has been added to the View menu. #646
Bulk importing images has been made easier by adding an "Apply to all" checkbox that uses the same import options for all images that are to be imported. #624
Extra cursor options have been added to the Preferences that let the user use the native mouse cursors of the OS and toggle the cross cursor on or off for the canvas, and the "Indicators" tab has been renamed to "Cursors".
Frame duration now appears as a hint tooltip of the frame buttons.
Added Portuguese translation.
Changed:
The UI system has changed completely. Users can re-arrange all of the panels and place them wherever they want, resize them or hide them from view. It is also possible to save and load custom UI layouts. #640
The secondary canvas is hidden from view by default, but it can become visible by going to the Window > Panels.
The mirroring and pixel perfect options are now global tool options and affect both left and right tools.
Various timeline improvements, like deleting and cloning multiple selected frames and when creating new frames, tags that are in front of them are being pushed. If the currently selected frames are inside a tag, creating new frames makes the tag bigger. #648
The custom mouse cursor now scales with the UI. #642
Importing an image will replace the previous project, if that project is empty.
Clicking on a layer toggle button (lock, visible & cel linking) now selects that layer.
Resize Canvas will always display the current size of the project.
Imported images can now be immediately exported, and for imported png images "Overwrite" is being displayed instead of "Export", until the user uses "Export as...".
The toolbar and the animation timeline now have a scrollbar.
Cut no longer works in invisible/locked layers.
You can now move guides with the pan tool. #647
"Flip" has been renamed to "Mirror Image".
The documentation keyboard shortcut has been changed from F12 to F1.
Fixed:
Drawing with big brush sizes has been optimized. #657 - which was based on #554
The "same color pixels" mode of the bucket tool has become a lot faster because it now uses a shader. #649 - which was based on #613

Changelog
* Improvements to "Paint" and "Lines" tools:
------------------------------------------
* Brush spacing may now be altered within Tux Paint.
+ Note: A "nobrushspacing" simplifcation option is provided to
disable this feature; Tux Paint will continue using the brushes'
default spacings.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Many brushes have been given more reasonable default spacing
settings (e.g., star brush's new default spacing causes
individual stars to appear, rather than a 'smear').
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/243/
(h/t Areti Tsolakidou for the suggestion)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Instructions at the bottom note when a brush is directional,
animated, or both, when chosing a new brush.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Improvements to "Stamp" tool:
-----------------------------
* Stamp performance improvements
+ Stamps are scaled before they are colorized or tinted,
to increase performance.
+ The current stamp (in its current form: size, orientation,
and color) is cached, so it may be applied to the canvas
many times without having to re-render.
(No longer scaling and tinting every time you click.)
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/147/
(h/t Andre Anckaert)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Improvements to "Eraser" tool:
------------------------------
* Outline for circle-shaped erasers is now also circular.
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/244/
(h/t Areti Tsolakidou for the suggestion)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Improvements to "Shapes" tool:
------------------------------
* Added hexagon (6-sided polygon) and heptagon (7-sided) shapes.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Showing aspect ratio of shapes when stretching them.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Using floats more, allowing for proper heptagon support, as
well as a non-skewed starting angle for octagons (22.5 degrees).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Improvements to "Text" & "Label" tools:
---------------------------------------
* Onscreen keyboard button sizes no longer restricted to
"the same size as other UI buttons" or "1/4th the size...",
and will now scale down from the full-size buttons to whatever
allows the full layout to fit within 90% of the canvas width
and 50% of the canvas height (picking the smallest size, to keep
square buttons for letters/numbers/symbols).
+ Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/212/
(h/t Anat Caspi)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* "Label" tool now offers a way to "apply" a label to the canvas
(as if it were 'painted' onto the drawing with the "Text" tool).
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/213/
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
& Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal@gmail.com>
* Bugfix: Onscreen keyboard repositions itself to the top if you
use [Enter] to move the cursor down, and it begins overlapping
the keyboard.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Bugfix: Positioning and rendering of labels selected for editing
via [Tab] cycling & the [Enter] key now works as expected.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* More instructional text is shown (and sound effects play) when
using the Label tool.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Improvements to Color Picking:
------------------------------
* A keyboard shortcut is now available for picking colors from
the canvas more quickly. Hold either (left or right) [Ctrl] key
while clicking, and the color selector option will appear.
Release the mouse button over a color on the canvas to choose it
(or outside the canvas to abort).
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/209/
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* A new color mixer has been added, allowing red (magenta-ish),
yellow, and blue (cyan-ish) primary colors, along with white
("tint"), grey ("tone"), and black ("shade") to be added together to
form a desired color. Undo/Redo is available!
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* The rainbow palette color picker now acts as a true
Hue/Saturation/Value picker, with the addition of a "value" slider.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* The crosshairs on the rainbow palette color picker are larger,
and scale up (or down) based on the UI size (--buttonsize setting).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Show a "pipette"-shaped mouse pointer when selecting a
color from the color palette, or the picture.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Don't play 'bubble' paint sound when color picker or selector
(or new mixer) are aborted (via their "Back" buttons or [Esc] key).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* New Magic Tools:
----------------
* "Tile Zoom"; like the regular "Zoom", but tiles the results when
you scale down (similar to "Panels", but with non-integer scaling).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* "Rush"; similar to "Zoom", but the effect is blurred.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* New Brushes:
------------
* "Dog" animated directional brush.
(Modified version of art from the "oneko" package by Tatsuya Kato.
https://github.com/tie/oneko)
Brushified by Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Other Improvements:
-------------------
* The up & down scroll buttons now auto-repeat if you click/tap and
hold them in the "Tools" section, and "Open", "New", and "Slideshow"
dialogs. (For https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/173/)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* The "Slideshow" now begins by showing the most recent images
(the bottom of the list of saved images) rather than the oldest
(the top of the list).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Added an option to sort the "Open" and "Slideshow" dialogs
by newest-images-first, rather than the default oldest-first
(--reversesort setting).

* Remove install stages not needed on macOS
* When looking up paths of fonts, preferences, etc., macOS searches
two places, the system paths and the user paths under $HOME.

now just searching the system path twice instead of searching the
system path followed by going into an undefined behavior
(possibly segfault crash).
* Fonts are now also looked for in the system preferences path,
/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/fonts
* Fixed the issue with the backspace not working in text and label tools
when in certain language modes in macOS. Mac keyboards have the DELETE
key where PC keyboards have the BACKSPACE key, and the two keys have
different keycodes, so the backspace requires special handling on the
macOS in programs writtens for the PC.
* Documentation updates:
---------------------
* Added some styling, use of HTML semantic tags, call-outs for notes,
improved printed output, and other improvements to the README and
OPTIONS docs.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Magic Tool docs sort tools by localized names, include full
localized names in the "See also" references, corrected HTML docs
(and subsequent TXT conversions) character encoding (us-ascii -> UTF-8).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* macOS Apple Silicon and Universal Binary build instructions

Pixelorama is a free and open source sprite editor, ideal for pixel art. In this page you'll be learning about the latest added features, as well as its features in general. Keep in mind that we are currently developing this software, so it misses some features, may have some bugs and needs a better UI.
MIT License
Changelog
Added:
The Keychain plugin has been implemented. Keychain makes Pixelorama's shortcut system fully configurable, and it provides the ability to the users to set custom shortcuts of every input type for all input actions. The plugin is developed by us and it's free to use for your own Godot projects as well! #700
The cursor can now be moved with the numpad arrow keys and gamepad's left stick and d-pad, the canvas can be moved with gamepad's right stick and it is also possible to map the activate left and right tool actions to keyboard and gamepad buttons, to allow drawing from these devices, making Pixelorama a lot more accessible. Made possible by the Keychain plugin.
A lot more gradient options have been added. Apart from the Linear Step gradient, there are now Linear, Radial, Radial Step, Linear Dithering and Radial Dithering gradient types. They are all shader-based, so they are a lot faster than the previous method. #677
A drop shadow image effect has been added. #674
A new rotation method has been added. It is shader-based, therefore faster than the other methods. #683
All menu items now have changeable shortcuts. Made possible by the Keychain plugin.
The dimensions of the exported file(s) are now visible in the export dialog. #686
Changed:
The outline effect is now generated using shaders, except in the Web platform. This makes outline generation more faster and gives better results.
In the backup confirmation dialog, "Delete" has been changed to "Discard all" and a Cancel button has been added.
Grid, pixel grid, rulers and guides view menu settings are now being remembered when Pixelorama closes and opens again.
The export window is now more clear if the directory path, the file name or both are invalid. #669
Timeline scroll behavior has been tweaked. #682
Image brush size is now using percentage suffix (%) instead of pixels (px). #671
The brushes popup tab alignment and position has changed depending on where it's asked to popup. #671
It is now possible to delete content from all selected cels.
Fixed:
The flood fill algorithm (bucket tool's "same color area" mode) is now a lot faster. #667 and #672
Based on the above, the magic wand tool is also a lot faster.
Shader-based image effects are now a lot faster if there is no selection.
GIF exporting is now faster. #696
Fixed issue with the bucket tool's "same color pixels" method not working in all selected cels.
Fixed broken 90-degree rotation. #676
Fixed export bug where the path is being changed if there's a folder with the same name as the file.
Fixed visual bug caused by window opacity. #680
It is no longer possible to delete content from cels belonging to invisible or locked cels.
Scale image aspect ratio is now updating correctly when the dialog is about to appear.
Going into fullscreen mode and then exiting it no longer makes the window opacity not working properly. Note that window opacity still does not work when in fullscreen mode.

Changelog
Personal Cloud plan:
We’re introducing a personal cloud subscription that will give you more freedom with cloud documents:
Unlimited number of cloud documents.
Unlimited number of collaborators instead of 10 on the free plan.
Unlimited document version history instead of 30 days on the free plan.
Unlimited storage period in the trash bin.
To subscribe to the Personal Cloud plan, go to Home > Profile > Upgrade plan.
The statuses of your subscriptions now appear next to your username on the Home > Profile page.
Version history:
We added version history for cloud documents. Lunacy automatically saves file versions after a series of 100 user actions. Or you can save versions manually using the Ctrl(?) + Alt + S shortcut. To view a document version history, go to File > Show version history. The list of file versions opens in the right panel. Double-click the required version to open it. File versions open as local temporary files that you can save to any folder on your computer and then import back to the Cloud.
Free users can access up to 30 days of version history. To unlock the full history of any existing cloud file, subscribe to a Personal Cloud plan.
Voice comments, stickers, and overall improvement of comments:
Now you can leave voice comments in cloud documents. For this, enable the comment tool (C), click microphone, say what you want to say, then click send. Make sure you allow Lunacy to access the microphone, otherwise your comments will not be recorded.
You can now post stickers like thumb up, thumb down, +1, heart, and other instead of comments. Stickers show up right on the canvas. There’s no need to open comment bubbles, unless you want to post a reply. To post a sticker, enable the comment tool, click sticker icon icon next to the comment entry field, and select the required sticker. You can also send stickers in replies to comments.
Now, when you select a layer and then click with the comment tool over it, the added comment gets tied to the layer. If you later decide to move the layer to some other place on the canvas, the comment will move with the layer.
By default, comments are always visible on the canvas. To hide comments, click view > Comments on the top bar.
To open/hide the list of all comments in the right panel, click send on the top bar.
Pre-made palettes:
When you create a document, Lunacy shows one of pre-set color palettes that you can use in your design. It appears in the right panel when nothing is selected on the canvas. If you don’t like the current palette, click refresh icon to choose the one that suits you best.
Note that palettes appear only in documents created in version 8.6 or higher.
Shape cropping:
You no longer need to struggle with the vector tool or tricky Boolean and flattening operations to get a half-circle or a part of another shape. With the shape cropper, you will do it in a couple of clicks:
Select the required shape.
Click scissors icon on the context toolbar.
Drag the borders of the frame to select the required area.
Press Enter or click Apply editing in the right panel.
Sharing your Lunacy profile on the internet:
Another way to share your portfolio. Your cloud documents now also show up on your profile page in Lunacy with the Publish/Unpublish button. You can send a link to your Lunacy profile to other people for them to view published files. For this:
Go to Home > Profile > show more icon > Web profile. Your web profile will open in the browser.
Copy the link to the profile in the address bar.
Send the link by email or an instant messenger.
If the link recipient doesn’t have Lunacy yet, they will be offered to install it.
To remove documents from your online profile, simply unpublish them. By default, all cloud documents are unpublished.
Improvements:
Zoom tool is back. It doesn’t show up on the toolbar, but you can enable it with the Z shortcut. To zoom in, hold down Z and click. To zoom out, hold down Z+Alt and click.
Localization. The names of layers in the Layer List now come in the language of the interface.
Better support. We made some improvements to reduce your wait time for replies to your issue reports.
Performance improvements.

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
Group layers
In 2.2, layers can now be organized into groups and subgroups.
You can create groups by using the new "new group" button or menu action. Layers can be added to groups by dragging & dropping or by creating new layers when a layer inside a group is selected.
Drawpile now fully supports the OpenRaster file format's layer stack structure, improving interoperability with other FOSS drawing apps like Krita and Mypaint.
Animation timeline
Drawpile has had support for making simple frame based animations since before 1.0. In version 2.2, the animation features are improved further by the addition of a custom timeline editor.
Previously, when exporting a document as an animation, each layer would be treated as a frame. This method still works and is suitable for very simple animations. For more complex use cases, e.g. when there are many independently moving actors in the scene, the timeline editor allows you to select which layers appear in which frame. The number of layers is now independent from the number of frames in the exported animation.
To create a custom timeline, open the Timeline dock (View menu ? Docks ? Timeline) and check the Use manual timeline box. You can then create frames by clicking on the + symbols. Clicking on a table cell will toggle the corresponding layer's visibility on that frame. Middle clicking on a frame will quickly select that frame. Double right clicking will delete one.
New paint engine
In 2.2, the entire paint engine has been rewritten in the Rust programming language. This change shouldn't be outwardly visible, except for a couple of nice things:
First, improved stability. The new engine does not suffer from the same kind of memory errors the old one did. It is also much easier to debug, as some bugs that previously would have crashed the whole application now merely stop the paint engine and print an error log message.
All paint operations are now performed in a background thread, meaning the UI should always remain responsive, even when there is a lot going on at the same time. This should be especially noticable when logging in to a long running session.
The command line utilities dprectool and drawpile-cmd have been replaced by drawpile-cli, which combines their functionality, and more.
The new paint engine will also allow for some exciting new possibilities, such as a Web based client and possibly a native mobile application.
Missing in action: the built-in server
Due to the huge changes to Drawpile's core, the built-in server unfortunately did not make it to this release. (You can, however, still use the bundled dedicated server.)
It's not gone for good, however! The server will be rewritten during the 2.2 release cycle to support the new paint engine.
Goals for the new server include:
Rewrite in Rust for improved security and reliability
Websocket connections in addition to plain TCP connections to natively support Web clients (Drawdance)
Improved admin API + standard web admin interface
Built-in list-server API
Built-in thin and thick server modes

Changelog
Added
The UI now automatically gets scaled, based on the dpi and resolution of the monitor. Resolves #643 .
A "Divide into equal parts" button has been added in Gradient Map. This is meant for easy gradient bisecting, which is helpful for converting Linear/Cubic interpolated gradients into Constant. This will eventually be used in gradient generation as well, once multi-color gradient generation support gets implemented.
A new fill area option has been added to the bucket tool options, "Whole Selection". This fills the entire selection with a color or pattern, regardless of the colors of the pixels.
The UI can now be scaled down to 0.5 and 0.75.
Palette swatches now get highlighted if their color is selected from the color buttons. #730
Project tabs can now be closed with the middle mouse button.
Non-keyboard shortcut bindings for tools are now allowed. You can, for example, map your tools to a mouse or gamepad button.
The background color of the canvas is now configurable, as requested in #586 .
Changed
Circle brushes now scale properly and support even-numbered diameters.
Copy, cut & delete now affect the entire cel if there is no selection.
The paste placement behavior has been changed. Paste now places the pasted content in the middle of the canvas view, instead of its original position. A new option in the Edit menu has been added, "Paste in Place", that preserves the previous behavior.
If a layer is locked or invisible, the cursor changes into forbidden when the user is hovering the mouse over the canvas.
The left & right tool options now have a header with the name of the currently selected tool, and a color indicator on the top.
The preferences dialog has been polished. Headers have been added for each segment, and all of the elements are now vertically aligned with each other.
hiDPI is now enabled - solves #159 .
The recent projects menu now makes the most recent project appear on top, and if you open a project already in the recent projects list, it would then be moved to the most recent spot on the list. #755
The import dialog now remembers the last option. #754
In the bucket tool options, "Same color area" and "Same color pixels" have been renamed to "Similar area" and "Similar colors" respectively.
The splash and preference dialogs can now be resized to a smaller size than the default.
Fixed
Deleting content from locked/invisible layers is no longer possible.
Selection can no longer be moved if there is a dialog open.
Tool and menu shortcuts no longer get activated if a dialog is open. #709 .
Onion skinning now works properly with mirror view. Addresses part of #717 .
Fix invalid pattern image error when using the bucket tool to replace colors.
Fixed issue with the bucket tool where if the selected color is the same as the pixel's color in mouse position, the operation stops even if there are other cels selected.
The "Close" button in the preferences no longer remains stuck in the previous language, if the language changes and the previous one was not English.

Changelog
Crash fixes:
Inkscape no longer freezes the whole desktop when rotating objects with snapping activated under certain conditions (Bug Inbox#7534, Bug Inbox#7838, MR #4877).
Converting an object with a stroke set as 'unset' / 'none', but with markers on the non-existing stroke, no longer leads to a crash (Bug #3879, MR #4815).
Bug fixes:
General:
Symbols that contain a clipping path or mask no longer cause the Symbols dialog to create a high processor load (Bug #3607, MR #4567).
The keyboard shortcut that is meant to scale the selection by 1 screen pixel now does so again (Bug #3799, MR#4818).
Raster images that are opened with Inkscape now end up in the page area even when the document origin is set to the bottom left corner (MR #4866, Bug #3939).
Dithering (for smooth gradients) is now disabled by default (even if it was enabled before you update to 1.2.2), because it was causing a loss of performance while drawing (MR #4816).
Dialogs:
The 'Export' and 'Align and distribute' dialogs are no longer confused about what area to export / what type of item to align (MR #4800, Bug #3847, Bug #2732, Bug #3591).
In the same dialog, tooltips now reliably show up when hovering over any of the buttons (Bug #3585, MR #4571).
Clarified wording of an option shown when importing SVG files (MR #4525).
Import / Export:
OpenClipart import option is now available on Windows and in the AppImage, and the potentially missing Python library BeautifulSoup is now a recommended package for Debian packaging (Bug #3674, MR #4858)
Several issues in the DXF14 export have been fixed:
Documents with non-uniform scale are exported correctly (Bug extensions#388, Bug extensions#498, MR extensions#510).
When importing a DXF file created by Inkscape into Fusion 360, the warning message about missing units is gone now (given the SVG document uses "real-world" units such as mm or in).
A leftover debug message was removed (Bug extensions#494, MR extensions#510).
The TIFF export now supports transparency (Bug extensions#478, MR extensions#485).
DPI attribute is preserved for JPG and TIFF raster export (Bug extensions#484, MR extensions#485).
PNG files now use the correct file permissions on Linux (previously, exported files were only accessible to the user who created them, which caused problems when doing web development) (Bug #2574, MR #4874)
Styles:
Saving markers that are compatible to SVG 1.1 now works for both marker direction and marker color at once (MR #4828, Bug #3913).
Objects with hairline strokes no longer lose that style when grouping or pasting (MR #4821, Bug #3643).
Filtered objects whose filters make use of the 'Morphology' filter are no longer cut off (Bug #3821, MR #4895).
Tools:
The Measure tool now indicates correct positions and sizes for shapes (stars, spirals, rectangles) (Bug #1367, Bug inbox#7732, MR #4678). Additionally, the default unit now corresponds to the display unit when using the tool for the first time.
Note about snap packages:
It is no longer possible to install the Inkscape snap with the --classic option. If you need functionality that is unavailable in the standard snap package (being able to add custom filter packs, custom extensions communicating with other programs on the system / requiring system-wide dependencies, …), please choose a different packaging format.
Windows-specific Fixes:
Extensions Manager and Clipart import work again on Windows. This fix was already available in 1.2.1, if you downloaded it after July 19 (Bug #3695, MR #4653).
The Text tool no longer crashes when selecting some specific fonts that have been installed multiple times in different file formats (Bug #7354, MR #4658).
Inkscape 1.2.2 can now be built for Windows on Arm (MR#4693).
Command line:
Trailing or duplicate semicolons no longer cause an action list command to fail (Bug #3480, MR #4714).
Improvements for development / deployment:
Automated Windows builds work again (MR #4744, MR #4884, Bug #3859).
Windows builds succeed again in CLANG64 environments (MR #4153).
Extension bug fixes:
Bugfixes in particular extensions
Color extensions can work on patterns again (Bug extensions#483, MR extensions#483).
The extension Render > Barcode > QR Code can now create QR codes with sharp edges (as opposed to slightly rounded edges as previously) even when using the extension from inside Inkscape (as opposed to from the command line) (Bug extensions#491, MR extensions#494).
The Hershey Text extension now warns about manual kerning instead of crashing (Bug extensions#456, MR extensions#489).
Saving a self-made font as SVG font using Extensions > Typography > 3 - Convert Glyph Layers to SVG Font now works again when one of the characters is the apostrophe (single quote) character (Bug extensions#487, MR extensions#487).
Improvements that apply to all extensions:
If a malformed SVG document is fed into an extension, the user is warned about it instead of causing an extension crash (Bug extensions#465, MR extensions#496

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers.
LibreCAD's features
LibreCAD is a feature-packed and mature 2D-CAD application with some really great advantages:
It's free – no worry about license costs or annual fees.
No language barriers – it's available in a large number of languages, with more being added continually.
GPLv2 public license – you can use it, customize it, hack it and copy it with free user support and developer support from our active worldwide community and our experienced developer team.
LibreCAD is an Open Source community-driven project: development is open to new talent and new ideas, and our software is tested and used daily by a large and devoted user community; you, too, can get involved and influence its future development.
Release Notes
It took far too long to present this new stable LibreCAD version.
Already announced several times, new obstacles kept appearing. But the main cause, however, is the loss of manpower in recent years.
We no longer have the resources to maintain a stable and a development branch side by side.
In addition, there were many problems in our parallel project libdxfrw , which we also take care of.
And there are also many invisible tasks to be dealt with, such as moving to a new cloud server, a new homepage, looking for financing our expenses, to name just a few.
About 4800 commits have been made since the last stable version 2.1.3. Too much to go into detail.
So here are a few notable changes in the new version 2.2.0:
many causes of crashes have been eliminated
eliminated DWG issues in libdxfrw, which caused several crashes
the performance of panning and zooming in large files has been significantly improved
the undo/redo engine has been completely revised due to several problems
adjustments for new compiler and Qt versions were required
extension of the command line, multi-line commands, paste and open command files
improvement of the print preview, with tiled printing and line widths adjustment
multiple selection and bulk actions in block and layer lists
By expanding our CI , we can now easily provide up-to-date binary packages that allow many users to easily test and bug hunt on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
The new release also has an online manual which is hosted at Read the Docs .
This new stable version 2.2.0 finally replaces the previous stable 2.1.3.
Unfortunately, we have to disappoint people who are hoping for a soon release of LibreCAD 3. It is still a long way from productive use.
Also there are still many contributions available for version 2.2 we wont waste. These can now be integrated into an unstable development branch. That means there will probably be one or two more feature release 2.2.x.
There may be LibreCAD 3 releases in parallel in future, but for the time being, not with the features that LibreCAD 2.2 currently offers.

Release Notes
Version 7 Changes:
KiCad 7 is a big release despite coming only a year after KiCad 6?—?in the past year, developers have made more than 6000 commits, fixing over 1200 reported issues and adding a number of new features. This post highlights some of the larger new features, but there are many other smaller improvements and fixes made by almost 200 different contributors.
General:
Release Schedule Change:
While we missed our official annual release schedule date of January 31st, the annual release schedule went pretty well for our first attempt. We will continue to improve our stable release process going forward as we adapt to the new schedule.
Custom Fonts:
Custom font support is now available in the schematic, PCB, and worksheet editors to allow the use of any system font.
Text Boxes:
Text box support was added in both the schematic and PCB editors.
3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Support:
3Dconnexion has contributed support in the schematic, symbol library, PCB, and footprint editors and 3D viewer for their line of SpaceMouse products. For those unfamiliar, 3D mice are alternative input devices that give a unique way of navigating both 3D and 2D canvases that some users find more ergonomic or intuitive than traditional mice. Users with a 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse may find this a welcome addition to KiCad’s capabilities to support their needs.
Sentry Crash Reporting Data Collection:
Sentry is an open source platform to capture application events, crash dumps, and other analytics.
Both their hosted platform and the integrated SDK to handle crash reporting in C++ applications are open source on GitHub under the MIT license.
Sentry has sponsored KiCad by providing the core team with access to their SaaS platform to receive crash reports from KiCad users. During the Version 7 development cycle, KiCad has enabled opt-in Sentry crash reporting for Windows users (we are exploring expanding Sentry to more platforms in a future release). Users will be prompted once when KiCad is first started, and may choose whether or not to enable Sentry. Users may also switch Sentry data collection on or off at any time in the KiCad preferences.
Why do we want to collect data from users?
The primary use in KiCad will be to capture crash reports. If KiCad crashes, the Sentry tool will automatically send a report to the KiCad team containing information such as stack traces and core dumps.
In the future we may also use it to gather performance metrics of algorithms across the wider user base to answer questions such as "how long does it take on average to run the Fill All Zones command?".
What data is collected if Sentry is enabled?
A randomly-generated user ID (GUID) is created for each KiCad installation and is used to identify Sentry reports that come from the same installation (for example, if one user experiences a given crash three times).
This user ID can be reset at any time by the user through KiCad preferences.
Along with this user ID, Sentry collects crash dump information and extracts relevant portions such as call stacks and stack frames. The rest of the crash dump is discarded.
To aid in avoiding the collection of personally-identifying information (PII), all Sentry reports pass through a "sentry-relay" server owned by KiCad before being transmitted to the Sentry SaaS platform. This prevents user IP addresses from being disclosed to Sentry.
No KiCad design files are ever captured by Sentry.
More details about Sentry in KiCad
A new CMake variable, KICAD_USE_SENTRY, has been added where a value of OFF will disable the inclusion of the Sentry SDK entirely. The current default value is OFF, as only Windows support is tested.
Sentry will only store at most 1 raw crash dump per report for analysis.
Data in Sentry is retained for up to 90 days, and then is deleted.
The introduction of Sentry resolves a long-standing desire of the KiCad team to capture crash dumps without user involvement, and the use of Sentry offers us a very easy solution to do it and help make KiCad better for everyone.
Throughout the development of KiCad 7, the Sentry tool has already proven its usefulness by allowing the development team to resolve over two dozen crash bugs that were not previously reported by users. We look forward to this feature allowing us to continuously improve KiCad’s reliability over time.
PCM Automatic Updates:
The Plugin and Content Manager now can automatically check if an updated version of an installed package is available and prompt the user to update. Content. Each time KiCad is launched, the plugin status is automatically queried in the background and displayed
Drag & Drop:
Drag and drop handles have been added to various parts of KiCad that results in the following actions:
KiCad:
Dragging a kicad_pro or pro file onto the project manager will open that project.
Command Line Interface
The separate kicad-cli binary has been implemented to allow scripting of many of the KiCad editor outputs.
Schematic and Symbol Editors:
Support for a simple rectangle and circle primitives has been added to the schematic and symbol editors to round out the shapes already provided.
Orthogonal Dragging:
What is orthogonal dragging? In 6.0 and earlier, a drag operation in the Schematic Editor moves symbols while keeping wires attached to the symbol. However, it was a literal form of "attach" and wires would end up at odd angles and directions.
Symbol Editor Pin Table Enhancements:
The Symbol Editor Pin Table got a number of new features, including the ability to:
Filter pins to a unit.
Change unit of a pin from the table.
Create or remove pins in a group symbol by adding/removing the pin number.
Off Grid ERC Warnings:
A new ERC check to warn when symbols are placed using an a incompatible grid. A grid mismatch can lead to situations where connections are not truly made and with a cascade of other issues such as pins being passive can lead to scenarios where you end up producing bad PCBs.
Wires at 45 Degree Angles:
KiCad 6 originally included a single toggle between fixed right-angle wires and "any angle" mode. This change introduces a wire mode for 45 degree start and end to help in drawing crisp schematics.
Do No Populate Support:
Support has been added for explicitly marking symbols in a schematic as Do Not Populate ("DNP"). The resulting symbols are grayed out in the schematic and marked with a red cross. DNP symbols are excluded from any KiCad-generated placement files.
Simulation Model Editor:
There is now a simulation model editor. This is a new dialog available as a "Simulation Model" button in the symbol properties of any schematic symbol. It allows configuration of simulation model parameters in a GUI rather than spice text inserted on schematic. The resulting configuration gets passed to the simulator as expected. Everything from configuring a symbol as "standard" spice model (resistors,caps,diodes,bjts) to assigning custom models in libraries (it will even load the library and let you select individual models contained within) is supported. It also allows for customization of the schematic pin to spice model pin mapping.
Database Libraries:
A long requested feature by many users of KiCad has been the ability to link symbol selection to a database which is common in other schematic CAD tools. KiCad can now add connectivity to external databases via ODBC functionality across KiCad’s three main platforms.
The database library system allows creating a centralized database of symbol to footprint associations along with any metadata about your parts that can be shared across your schematics by you and others connected to the same database.
More information can be found in the KiCad database libraries documentation.
An ongoing forum discussion about the feature shows how some users are starting to make use of databases in their KiCad workflows.
Dynamic field columns in symbol chooser:
The database libraries support also introduced the ability to display and search custom fields in the symbol chooser.
See the number of grouped pins.
Dragging a Gerber or Gerber Job file onto the project manager will open the Gerber Viewer with those files.
Dragging Eagle and Cadstar files will trigger an import of those files.
Schematic Editor
Dragging a kicad_sch file onto the editor will append the schematic to the open design.
PCB Editor
Dragging a kicad_pcb file onto the editor will append the board to the open design.
Gerber Viewer
Dragging files onto the Gerber Viewer will open them.
Drawing Sheet Editor
Dragging a kicad_wks file onto the editor will open it.
Hyperlinks on Schematics:
Hyperlinks are now supported inside schematics. This means a text object on a schematic page can detect if the text is a hyperlink property. Hyperlink text makes the text object become clickable.
Supported hyperlinks are:
http://
https://
file://
:<pagenumber> (where <pagenumber> is any valid schematic page)
PDF Improvements:
PDF Bookmarks (Table of Contents):
Support has been added for populating the bookmarks section (also known as the Table of Contents) of a PDF viewer with useful information.
A schematic PDF generated by the plot action in the schematic editor, will contain bookmarks populated with a list of sheets and links to symbols within the sheet. Clicking on items on the bookmark list will jump to the relevant page and location.
Embedded Symbol Information:
Support has been added the export of symbol information in schematics to the plotted PDF. This is a list of symbol field data displayed when the symbol is clicked in a PDF viewer. Unfortunately, the functionality required for this to work is implemented per PDF spec but support across PDF viewers is not consistent. Only Adobe PDF Reader/Acrobat are known to display the list correctly.
PDF Hyperlinks:
Schematic hyperlinks are now embedded into the PDF and interactable.
This includes:
Hyperlinks between pages.
Hyperlinks to external URLs.
Sheet symbols link to datasheets.
Board and Footprint Editors:
PCB Footprint Consistency Checking:
A new optional check to determine if your board design has footprints that have deviated from the library they are linked to
Ignored DRC Tests Tab:
Ignored tests are now listed in their own separate tab.
Mechanical Clearance Rules:
Two new DRC rule constraints mechanical_clearance and mechanical_hole_clearance have been add to the custom rules that the complement the clearance and hole_clearance constraints.
Custom Rule Severities:
Custom rule severities can now be defined per custom rule with possible values of ignore, warning, error, and exclusion.
Pad to Zone Rules:
New custom rule constrains thermal_relief_gap, thermal_spoke_width and zone_connection have been added for rule checking copper connections that get generated between pads and zone fills.
Radial Dimensions:
Inverse Text Objects in PCB:
Text objects can now declare as "Knockout" meaning the text will subtract from a shaded box. This is useful for making more attention grabbing silkscreen.
Automatic Zone Filling:
There is now a new option that will automatically refill zones when a board change is detected rather than requiring the user to trigger zone fills manually. This is enabled by default to help new users, but may be disabled in case it gets in the way for power users or those working on very large designs.
PCB Layout Tool Enhancements:
Many ease of use enhancements have been made to the board and footprint editors.
Background Bitmaps:
A requested feature by users has been the ability to display an image in the background so that PCB traces and footprint layouts can be copied easily from some original reference PCB or footprint being reverse engineered.
Unroute Selected:
It is now possible completely unroute a footprint.
Automatically Complete Trace Route:
Traces can now be partially drawn and the board editor can complete the trace the rest of the way to the nearest ratsnest end. It will stop and force you to manually route if it can’t find a route.
Attempt to Finish Selection:
Related to the trace route completion feature above, selected items can in the board editor can attempt to automatically route traces between them. It will iterate each unrouted part of the item and attempt to connect it to the nearest rats nest.
Search Panel:
A new panel added to board editor enables typing query strings with wildcard s and filtering out objects on the design while displaying the remaining results in a list. The list can be clicked on to select objects on the editing canvas.
Properties Panel:
A new properties panel is now available in the board editor.
Improved Footprint Spread and Pack & Move Footprint Tool:
The algorithm that placed footprints on the PCB was improved to result in a more compact layout.
STEP Exporter Changes:
The STEP exporter now uses the same PCB parsing engine as the rest of KiCad. This change now brings the addition relative 3d model paths to the footprint. Simply start the paths with the expected ./ or ../ and the 3D viewer and STEP exporter will attempt to find the model relative to the footprint file. This change should allow better portability of footprint libraries and 3d models.
The "3D Path Aliases" have been removed from KiCad. These were an independent system from the "Environment Variable" system also used for paths. It had it’s own file format and usage syntax which both introduced unexpected bugs. Unifying the system makes the usage of Environment Variables standard throughout KiCad. "3D Path Aliases" will be automatically migrated to an environment variable on launch. However, the alias may get renamed if the alias had characters beyond uppercase A-Z,0-9 and underscores due to the limitations of environment variables across platforms.

* Improvements to Color selection:
--------------------------------
* The rainbow palette color picker allows you to switch to the
chosen built-in color, the pipette (color selector) color, or the
color mixer's color, and make adjustments using its hue, saturation,
and value controls.
* New Starter
-----------
* Space_draw.svg by Ingrid Illa Terrier
* New Template
------------
* rainbow_gradient.png by Bill Kendrick
[Hint: Start a new picture, paint over the entire thing
with black, then use eraser to 'scratch away' and expose
the rainbow!]
* Starter and Template Improvements
---------------------------------
* Now possible to set scaling and smearing options for
each starter or template image. A ".dat" file can be
created which describes whether it's okay to scale and crop
the image's top/bottom and/or left/right, and if not both,
whether to smear the sides of the starter/template to the
edges of the canvas (the prior behavior, and the default),
or use a specific solid color background. When scaling,
gravity may be specified, to ensure that a particular side or
corner of the starter or template is included.

Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
with suggestions from Albert Cahalan <acahalan@gmail.com>
and Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal@gmail.com>
* Other Improvements:
-------------------
* A keyboard shortcut is now available for quickly accessing
a small eraser. Hold the [X] key while clicking, and drag
around the picture to erase. (Not available if in the process
of rotating a stamp or shape, or when Text or Label tool are
active.) Release the mouse to return to normal operation.
(Eventually, this could be utilized when we can support
the recognition of a drawing tablet stylus' "eraser" tip;
see https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/8/)

* When deleting a file on macOS, move the file to trash instead of deleting
the file permanently.
Mark Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Automatic button size option ("buttonsize=auto"), to scale button
size reasonably based on window size / fullscreen resolution.
(For https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/218/)
Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal@gmail.com>
* Using SDL linear scaling hint to reduce jaggedness when displaying
in full screen at a different resolution than the display's
native size. (SDL2.0)
TOYAMA Shin-ichi <dolphin6k@wmail.plala.or.jp>
* If only one display is available, when running in windowed mode
and asking for Tux Paint to appear in a width and/or height larger
than the display's dimensions, Tux Paint will fall back to
the maximum(s) the display is capable of.
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/113/)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Changed default UI font from Bitstream Vera to DejaVu Sans.
h/t Mark Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Update Tux Paint Magic API so `set_color()` functions can
alter the canvas. (Utilized by "Zoom" and "Perspective", so far.)
Note: Bumps `TP_MAGIC_API_VERSION` to 0x00000007.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>

Mark Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Bug Fixes:
----------
* Always creating 24-bit canvases, in an attempt to avoid blending
artifacts, e.g., when applying brush strokes using the Paint tool.
(Previously, we were using the display's color depth and masks,
which seemed to work fine under SDL1.2, but does not under SDL2.)

* Magic tools with very long filenames/function names did not load
on some Android systems. Affected new Kaleido-* tools, but also
Blocks, Chalk, and Drip (hence this being listed as a bug fix).
h/t Pere for discovering this.
* On touch devices, the color pipette tool could easilly be
immediately dismissed due to the 'button up' event happening
right where the "Back" dismissal/cancel button appeared.
Now only pays attention to 'release' if the button was down.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>

FreeDesktop systems (e.g., Linux)
Will Thompson <https://sourceforge.net/u/wjjjjt/profile/>
* Add "tuxpaint-fullscreen.desktop", which launches Tux Paint

(similar to the fullscreen launcher we've had for Windows)
(Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/227/; h/t Aaron Wolf)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Remove "intltool" dependency. (Thanks to this, no need for
"tuxpaint.desktop.in". It involved rewriting "update-po.sh"

* Pango loads Tux Paint-supplied fonts on macOS.
Previously Pango loaded system-supplied fonts instead, which
could lead to fonts not rendering in a human-readable text.
This change fixes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/265/
Mark Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* More fonts for the text and label tools on the macOS.
Enabled forked fonts so more fonts are available for use with the
text and label tools on the macOS. This is particularly noticible
with localized fonts because only a few localized fonts may exist
on the system so missing even a single font can lead to inability to
type in a localized language at all. It's unclear why forked fonts
were disabled to start on the macOS but it appears to be reliable
now so it's now been enabled to take advantage of its benefits.
Mark Kim <markuskimius@gmail.com>
* Speed up macOS app bundle build time.
Fixed a typo that was causing the macOS app bundle build time to be
unnecessarily long. The app buildle build time is now ~20x faster.

* New Foam sound effect.
(Sound effect licensed as Creative Commons 0 by
https://freesound.org/people/ristooooo1)

to take away the 'classic' variation).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Mosaic (shaped) tools: more progress bar feedback.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Blind: Remove entire-picture ("fullscreen") mode; it wasn't
particularly useful.
h/t Pere
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Light: Better shape to the effect.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* New Magic Tools:
----------------
* Rainbow Cycle: Changes colors each time you use it
(similar to Rainbow and Smooth Rainbow, but only changes
between strokes).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Other Improvements:
-------------------
* Word-wrap long button labels, for better readability.
(h/t Jozef Riha for the idea.)
Helps https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/131/
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>

----------
* Don't try to load a blank-named template during slideshow playback.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Color palette would still show previously-selected color as active
when returning from the temporary color pipette ([Ctrl] + click).
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Update maximum button size calculation to account for Stamp
rotation button added in 0.9.29. (Otherwise you could end up
seeing no stamps between the up/down scroll buttons!)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Some button sizes could cause buttons to render with gaps
(e.g. 90 and 91), where 'garbage' graphics could appear.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* On Haiku, read config from the correct location
({home}/config/settings/TuxPaint/tuxpaint.cfg)
Luc 'Begasus' Schrijvers <begasus@gmail.com>
* Cartoon magic tool would always apply the effect at the bottom
right, and also move improperly. Mended.
h/t @Miyagi_Andel on Twitter for the bug report.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Ports & Building:
-----------------
* Created "src/indent.sh", to run 'indent' against source files.
Ran it during 0.9.30 development.
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Now requiring "SDL2_Pango" library all the time (no longer
builds without it). Motivation: Without it, many scripts
(e.g. Japanese, Thai, Arabic) did not render properly.
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/268/
(h/t Pere for confirming the situation.)
Bill Kendrick <bill@newbreedsoftware.com>
* Documentation updates:
----------------------
* Haiku build instructions added to INSTALL docs.
Luc 'Begasus' Schrijvers <begasus@gmail.com>

Changelog
Arc editor:
With the Arc editor, you can quickly create rings and semirings, design pie charts or other fancy circular elements. Draw an ellipse, and use the handles that show up within the bounding box.
On-canvas controls for editing stars and polygons:
Another improvement to save you from digging in the right panel. Adjust the number of vertices, corner radius values, and ratio for stars and polygons by dragging the respective handles right on the canvas.
RTL and BiDi support:
Lunacy became more accessible and user-friendly for people who read and write from right to left. When you select an RTL localization, Lunacy’s interface mirrors itself to provide a true RTL experience. We also significantly improved the work with RTL languages on the canvas, as well as the usage of emojis in such languages.
New render engine:
This version brings a new render engine, which means higher FPS and lower input lags.
Improvements:
We reduced the number of points used to build smooth corners. Thanks to that, squircles now appear even smoother than before.
Numerous auto layout improvements and fixes.
Numerous Figma import improvements.

Pixelorama is a free and open source sprite editor, ideal for pixel art. In this page you'll be learning about the latest added features, as well as its features in general. Keep in mind that we are currently developing this software, so it misses some features, may have some bugs and needs a better UI.
MIT License
Changelog
Added:
Layer groups in the timeline, for better organization.
Support for reference images has been implemented.
Specific layer exporting is now possible as part of the export dialog overhaul.
3D layers have now been implemented, which allows for non-destructive usage of 3D geometry inside Pixelorama. The 3D objects get automatically rasterized (pixelated) depending on the size of the canvas.
A perspective editor has been added, that aims to help artists use perspective in their work.
Dynamics are finally here! You can now use tablet pen pressure and/or mouse/pen velocity to affect the size and the alpha of the brush. More options will come in the future!
A new crop tool has been added. It can resize the canvas without resizing the content.
The pencil tool now has a spacing option.
Exporting and loading APNG files is now possible.
Implemented cleanEdge as a new rotation and scaling algorithm.
[GLES 3 only] Implemented OmniScale as a new rotation and scaling algorithm.
Added a new Posterize image effect, with optional dithering. It's used to automatically reduce colors of an image.
A new select by drawing tool has been added.
Some image effect properties can now be animated for multiple cels.
It is now possible to change the selection creation behavior (replace, add, subtract or intersect) from the tool settings.
Your art progress inside Pixelorama can now be recorded and saved as screenshots, for you to combine into a video. Useful for art timelapses.
Control + Mouse wheel can now be used to adjust the brush size and shape thickness. Unfortunately, this shortcut cannot be edited at the moment, but it will be in the future (most likely once we port to Godot 4.x).
Snapping to the grid and guides has been implemented.
Changing the renderer from GLES2 to GLES3 and vice versa is now possible in the preferences.
Selections now have their own tile mode option, that works within the boundaries of the selection.
A way to easily preview an animation that has frames drawn in the form of a spritesheet/atlas has been added in the canvas preview.
The average color between the two selected colors is now shown in the color pickers, and can be easily picked.
A list of the recently used project sizes now appears on the new project dialog.
[Windows only] Changing the tablet driver is now possible in the preferences.
Changed:
The palette panel is now more reactive; it automatically resizes in order to show/hide swatches based on its size. It is also now possible to scroll palettes with the mouse wheel, and resize the swatches with Control + mouse wheel.
The UI of the animation timeline has been improved.
The entire export dialog UI has been overhauled.
Linked cels have been refactored, which allows for having multiple linked sets of cels in the same layer.
Most Slider + SpinBox combinations have been replaced by a custom slider,
Gradient generation is now more powerful; there is now support for multi-color gradients and they can be repeated. Step gradients have been removed in favor of linear gradients with constant interpolation.
The color picker now picks any visible color on the canvas, regardless of layer. A toggle has also been added in the tool options to let the user change back to the previous behavior of only picking a color on the selected layer.
A single popup appears when exporting multiple files that already exist, instead of showing one popup for each file to overwrite.
Most dialogs received some UI changes, such as making their elements expand vertically, and making their Cancel and OK buttons a little bigger.
The look of the brushes popup has been improved.
The cel buttons on the timeline are now dimmed if the cel is empty/transparent.
The manage layout dialog now has a preview for the selected layout.
Layer adding behavior has been changed.
The canvas rulers can now display floating point numbers.
The tile mask, used in tile mode, is now being set automatically.
When having multiple cels selected and onion skinning is enabled, using the Move tool now also has an immediate visible effect on the onion skinning preview.
Onion skinning settings are now being saved and are remembered between sessions.
Contributors and donors in the About dialog are now sorted in alphabetical order.
Fixed:
The timeline has been refactored behind the scenes, and its performance has been massively improved for projects with a lot of frames and layers.
If Pixelorama crashes during saving of a .pxo file and a file of the same name already exists in that directory, it no longer gets replaced with an empty 0 byte file.
[macOS] Fixed issue where tool shortcuts changed tools.
The movement preview now works as intended for all selected cels #811 for the move tool, 5cb0edd for the selected content.
The UI scale no longer is 0.75 by default. This fixes blurry fonts on small monitors.
Opening the rotate image dialog twice on large canvases no longer results in a crash. ad61ddc
Pasted content should no longer get placed in sub-pixel positions.
The notifications always appear on the bottom left of the main canvas and are no longer dependent on the position of the timeline.
The recent files option in the File menu is now disabled in the Web version, instead of save.
Drawing with image brushes no longer results in pixels outside the selection, if it exists.
Using the selection gizmos when an overlay window is directly on top of them is no longer possible.
Fix bug where the tool changes from a draw tool to a non-draw tool, while having an image brush selected. The bug was that the indicator was appearing as a white square, until the user moved their mouse.
Fix bug where clicking on previous/next frame when only one frame exists makes the cel unselected.
Mirror symmetry axes are now properly centered by default.
The "File(s) exported" notification now only appears on successful export.
Fix selection handles and shape tool previews not working properly when mirror view is enabled.
Undoing after pasting now shows the previous selection as normal.
The right tool gets activated only if the right mouse button (or whatever input action is ass...

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
This release represents just about a week of development, but it has some important fixes in there! So it's highly recommended you upgrade to it:
Fixed a really stupid bug that caused sessions to seemingly revert to 2.1 mode.
Made the new default theme actually the default theme, don't sync it with the theme from Drawpile 2.1.
Fixed saving and loading settings even when Drawpile 2.1 corrupted them.
Fixed saving of shortcuts and probably also some other settings that didn't let you clear stuff anymore.
Allowed ordering of list servers in the preferences again.
Made chat pins work properly again.
Allowed color picking when using the selection tool again.
Brought back the old averaging smoothing, as another option in addition to the new time-based stabilizer.
Miscellaneous fixes and prettifications in the settings dialog.
Fixed stabilizer settings being forgotten when closing the program.
Non-floating selections now stick around after hitting Delete, since you might want to delete on multiple layers.
Fixed some crashes when closing the window when it's in a funky state.
Made settings only save to disk when you're not doing anything in the program, to avoid causing chugging on slow disks.
Fixed Copy Merged to actually work and not just copy a blank rectangle.
Fixed floating docks not being resizable on macOS.
Fixed pasting images with weird color formats.
Added an NSFM option to the host dialog, letting you turn that on right from the get-go.
Called NSFM the same everywhere in the program, instead of mixing up "NSFM", "NSFW" and "age-restricted" in different places.
Added a context menu to the join dialog, if you want to copy stuff out of there.
Made popup messages ("Connecting..." and such) work on Wayland.
Made nearest-neighbor transform actually work, it ended up being forced to bilinear every time.
Made the stabilizer not run at a really low framerate on Windows.
Split Shortcuts and Canvas Shortcuts into two settings pages again.
Fixed shortcuts not getting assigned when closing the preferences without clicking somewhere else first.
Made conflicting shortcuts actually show errors instead of silently doing nothing.
Fixed tool slots swizzling their colors when multiple windows were open.
Allow holding left-click on the timeline frames and scrubbing left and right for a quick preview.
Pick better layers when switching animation frames and tracks, so that you don't end up stuck on layers that aren't actually in your current frame.
You can now add keyboard shortcuts for a whole lot more stuff, such as swatch colors, dock visibility and pretty much all actions you can pick from the menu that inexplicably didn't let you assign shortcuts to them before.
Fixed the authentication dialog messages looking wonky.
Made the session password dialog look less squashed.
Made links in server messages clickable.
Brought back the version check in a way that should work also for beta versions, on all platforms and in other languages.
Allowed saving the log file on Android, since you can't view it directly.
Made alert chat message backgrounds less bright.
Updated Chinese, German and Portuguese translations.

RealWorld Paint ist eine kostenlose und leistungsstarke Bildbearbeitung. Die Freeware weist eine große Werkzeugpalette auf und bietet einige außergewöhnliche Funktionen, die man in der Regel nur bei Profi-Programmen findet.
RealWorld Paint deckt alle Bereiche der Bildbearbeitung ab, vom Nachbearbeiten und Optimieren von Fotos bis hin zur Erstellung von Collagen und Logos. Natürlich dürfen die Standardwerkzuge wie Pinsel und Farbeimer nicht fehlen. Gängige Funktionen wie das Ändern der Bildgrößen und Farben sowie Kontrast oder Schärfe sind ebenso enthalten. Die angebotenen Filter und Effekte ermöglichen aber auch komplexere Foto-Bearbeitungen.
Die Bedienung von RealWorld Paint ist einfach, die Oberfläche sehr übersichtlich. Das Umschalten auf eine deutsche Oberfläche kann direkt im Programm erfolgen. Fotos lassen sich problemlos nacharbeiten und verschönern. Besonders interessant: Bilder können auch auf mehreren Ebenen bearbeitet und den einzelnen Ebenen auf Wunsch unterschiedliche Eigenschaften zugewiesen werden.
PSD-Dateien aus Photoshop werden von RealWorld Paint unterstützt. Bilderprofis werden sich außerdem darüber freuen, dass sie Plug-ins von Photoshop einbinden können. Erwähnenswert sind auch die Speicherung von Lieblingsverläufen und -farben, die Steuerung über Mausgesten und die Möglichkeit, animierte GIF-Dateien zu gestalten.
Changelog

Redesign of layer style user interface to support nondestructive editing of photos and iterative designing. Individual layer effects are visible in the Layers panel as sub-items, effects can be added directly from the main menu. A layer effect configuration is visible in the right side panel when an effect is selected. Some layer effects can be modified using control handles on the canvas.
Stroke tool is a more powerful version of Line and Curve tools supporting multi-part curves.
Experimental support for conversion of hand drawn shapes to Bézier curves with given accuracy in the Shape and Stroke tools.
Text tool and the new Stroke tool can use different color for an outline. Outline alignment and join style are configurable.

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers.
LibreCAD's features
LibreCAD is a feature-packed and mature 2D-CAD application with some really great advantages:
It's free – no worry about license costs or annual fees.
No language barriers – it's available in a large number of languages, with more being added continually.
GPLv2 public license – you can use it, customize it, hack it and copy it with free user support and developer support from our active worldwide community and our experienced developer team.
LibreCAD is an Open Source community-driven project: development is open to new talent and new ideas, and our software is tested and used daily by a large and devoted user community; you, too, can get involved and influence its future development.
Release Notes
This is a bugfix release for official stable release 2.2.0.
It fixes a minor vulnerability ( CVE-2023-30259 ) with a mature shapelib contained in our codebase.
The vulnerability addresses only the plugin Importshp, which is used to import shape files (SHP/SHX/DBF).
Shape files are used in surveying and so do not affect the most users.
As this is probably not a widely used plugin, the fix was just to remove the plugin.
If you are a surveyor and need the shape file support, it is safe to stay with 2.2.0 version, as long as you know the origin of the used shape files.
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read, what means, if a malformed shape file is imported, the application can crash.
With some efforts an attacker possibly can create a shape file, which can lead to unintended code execution and seize your computer.
But this is a worst case scenario, which I would rate as extremely low to occur.

Changelog
PDF import rewritten:
Inkscape’s PDF importer has undergone an overhaul. You’ll find a new dialog with an overview of what Inkscape will do with each font it finds in your PDF, and more.
Node deletion logic changed:
Deleting nodes now doesn’t always behave the same, as Inkscape tries to detect whether you want the result to be a straight line connecting the nodes, or whether you want the result to be a round and smooth curve.
Pinned colors in palette:
We’re working hard to help you find the colors you need to succeed. Choose and pin the most important colors from a palette and keep them at your fingertips. Then unpin the ones you don’t need. Customize the size of the color swatches, too. This is practical when you’ve got a project with a specific color palette to respect. Additionally, the new shortcut F hides all canvas overlays and anything outside the page, so you can check your results and see what’s going to be printed.
Paste on page:
Now you can copy and paste an object from one page to another one and it’ll land in the same position. This is terrific when building templates and presentations or clones for animation using Inkscape.
Filter editor overhaul:
The Filters dialog automatically changes layout on resizing :
This dialog has seen much love and is now easier to use. You’ll appreciate the pop-up menu when applying a filter to your selection and searching for certain effects, like blur.

The uniquely innovative brush engines, the intuitive and fun interface and adherence to industry standards for pipeline integration, guarantee that Krita supports your workflow and helps you get the most out of your ideas.
License: Open Source
Changelog
Krita 5.2.0 is a major new release, and the first of the Krita 5.2 series of releases. Especially internally, there have been huge changes and improvements. While there are a lot of important user-visible changes that will make artists’ workflow smoother, most work has been inside Krita, preparing Krita for the future.
For animation, audio playback has been rewritten completely using the MLT framework.
Also for animation, video export has been made much easier: you no longer need to separately download FFmpeg, since FFmpeg now built into Krita.
As the first part of a two-part rewrite of text handling in Krita, the text shape engine has been rewritten completely. This provides support for text-on-path, vertical text, wrapped text, text-in-shape, OpenType, emoji and more. HOWEVER: this was step one. Step two is rewriting the actual tool you use to work with text. If you want to access the new features, you will need to use SVG source code editor from the text tool.
The transform tool can now transform all selected layers.
There is a whole new color selector that supports wide-gamut color spaces.
There have been many improvements to the JPEG-XL file format handling. NOTE: because of problems updating to the latest version of the JPEG-XL library on Windows, not all improvements are already available in Beta1.
The brush engine settings backend, which stores all the settings, has been rewritten to be more robust and maintainable, as well as preparing it for a user interface redesign.

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
Fix: Don't forget account password when entering a wrong session password.
Fix: Smoothe out the timing of strokes received over the network to not make them appear jerky because of the paint engine drawing them too fast.
Fix: Lock timeline controls when the canvas or user is locked.
Feature: Allow adding key frames and an associated layer or group with a single action.
Feature: Allow duplicating key frames along with their contents.
Fix: Put changing the timeline frame count behind a button, since it might get mixed up with the current frame on accident.
Fix: Slow down user markers only for MyPaint brushes and snappy for classic brushes as well as when a new line is started.
Feature: Add a flipbook button to the timeline dock.
Feature: Hide the indirect mode button in the brush dock instead of just disabling it, since it's hard to tell the difference otherwise.
Fix: Fixed a crash when resizing the canvas while an indirect stroke is in progress.
Feature: Allow viewing tile and draw context memory usage in the statistics dialog.
Server Fix: Make the server GUI exist again, it got lost in the build scripts.
Fix: Put unpinning behind operator permissions too, just like pinning.
Feature: Improved canvas view. It now allows scrolling further beyond the edges, has more sensible zoom steps and shows messages about locks and canvas transformations.
Fix: Make the canvas view not jigger anymore when you zoom it out at certain sizes.
Fix: Lock drawing when the user is locked.
Fix: Make KisTablet Windows Ink the default tablet driver on Windows, because the Qt one is pretty busted.
Fix: Re-synchronize the canvas when local desynchronization is detected, rather than just keeping going with a broken state for ages.
Fix: Don't reset the layer properties dialog when someone else changes a layer. This would cause renames to get reverted to the original name, for example, which is really annoying.
Fix: Make default layer actually select itself when joining a canvas.
Fix: Move notifications to their own preferences page, since the network page was out of room and squashed some controls.
Fix: Make preference notes larger so that they work better in non-Latin writing systems.
Fix: Make the password page of the login dialog not so annoyingly large.
Feature: Clarify when asking for a session password versus an account password.
Fix: Handle duplicated shortcuts by complaining about it, rather than doing nothing.
Feature: Add shortcuts to move the canvas around, for people who want to do it with something other than the arrow keys.
Feature: Enable auto-repeat for shortcuts where it's sensible, such as zooming, moving the canvas, undo, redo or switching between layers, frames and tracks.
Feature: Allow clicking and dragging the inspector around, so that it's easier to hit small sections.
Fix: Don't fire an assertion when moving a selection out of bounds. This is not an error.
Fix: Default color wheel to HSV mode, not HSL.
Fix: Stretch columns of the ban list so they don't look so weirdly cut off.
Fix: Don't revert settings with a default value that have an old version of some other value.
Server Feature: Relay listing errors to the client, rather than leaving them in silence.
Server Feature: Add maximum user count and closed state to listings.
Server Feature: Expedite listing refreshes when something important changes, like the NSFMness, title or closedness of a session.
Server Fix: Make the server GUI compatible with Qt6.
Fix: Make layer picking and the inspector pay attention to the layer view mode, so that picking layers when animating works properly.
Fix: Allow pixel brushes to have a minimum of zero pixels, rather than treating both 0 and 1 as 1.
Fix: Make chat line not scroll into oblivion when dragging over it.
Fix: Make the UI not mess up the sizes of docks and chat when starting it on Windows.
Fix: Make brush outline update even when docks are hidden.
Feature: Make Linux AppImage more compatible with older Linuxes.
Fix: Make secure connections work in the Linux AppImage.
Feature: Automatically join a session when given a URL on startup, rather than waiting for another button press.
Feature: Allow including session passwords into URL.
Feature: Implement an invite dialog, to make it easier to directly let people join a session without listing it publicly.
Feature: Show a warning when joining an NSFM session, since it might not be obvious to new users what they're in for.
Fix: Make newlines show up properly when the chat is in context mode.
Fix: Handle key presses and releases while dragging the canvas, since some people start the drag before pressing the key and would like their inputs to not be ignored.
Fix: Wrap server title in the login dialog to make it not stretch the window into eternity.
Fix: Allow opening links in the server title. They were turned into links, but those couldn't actually be clicked.
Feature: Implement a start dialog instead of dumping the user into a blank canvas and making them pick through the menu at the top. Replaces the join, host, new and update dialogs, unifying them into a single one instead that should reduce the number of clicks required to do pretty much anything.
Fix: Properly disable the NSFM session setting when it can't be changed.
Fix: Make the color palette work properly again, it was broken in various ways. Also makes the color picker look like it used to in 2.1.
Feature: Add a button to the color picker to pick from the screen.
Feature: Allow focusing the canvas by double-tapping the Alt key, as well as an assignable shortcut for it, which is Ctrl+Tab by default.
Feature: Show coordinates in the view status bar.
Fix: Put resize arrows at the corners of the selection, rather than offset on the far ends.
Fix: Don't displace selection by some subpixel amount when moving it around.
Fix: Prioritize sending of pings and pongs so that a lot of queued messages don't cause a disconnect.
Fix: Make filtering closed sessions actually work.
Feature: Make the server browser columns resizable.
Feature: Allow filtering duplicates in the server browser.
Fix: Make pinned messages persist again even when chat recording is turned off.
Fix: Don't grab colors from way too far away when using classic brushes.
Fix: Avoid colors tending toward black when smudging.
Fix: Make the cursors for the line, rectangle, ellipse and curve tools look less skrunkly.
Fix: Prefer Drawpile's own icons over system icons, to avoid nonsensical icons being used on Linux.

Changelog
New UI with floating panels
On-canvas auto layout settings
Auto layout wrapping
On-canvas font size editor
Text baseline alignment
Improved memory usage. Up to 30% less RAM used for storing layer data, so huge files now take up less computer resources.
The Shift + A shortcut now instantly frames a selection and adds an auto layout to it, so you can skip the Ctrl + Alt + G step.
We updated the logic of flip operations, so the Flip Horizontal/Flip Vertical buttons don’t have pressed states anymore.
You can now override star ratio, polygon and star vertex count in component instances.
The step for changing auto layout paddings and spacings when modified by dragging now depends on the Nudge amount settings. For instance, if the Small nudge is set to 2 and the initial padding is 10, dragging the control will adjust the padding incrementally to 12, 14, 16, and so on, or to 8, 6, 4, 2, and 0. Dragging while holding down Shift will apply the Big nudge.
We optimized fonts loading speed on startup up to 20 times. But if you now add or replace a font in your system, use Help > Reload system fonts to apply the changes without restarting Lunacy.
You can now turn off some or all online features in Help > Privacy. Google Analytics and Fonts can be disabled by all users. The rest of the options are available only to users with a subscription.
Lunacy no longer requests for access to your microphone on the first startup on macOS. It does so only before the first attempt to add an audio comment.
You can now hide the left panel by clicking the active tab on the Sidebar (Layers, Components, Styles, etc.).
By resizing the Left panel, you can also minimize the Sidebar. And by dragging the Sidebar you can open the Left Panel, if it is hidden.

Pixelorama is a free and open source sprite editor, ideal for pixel art. In this page you'll be learning about the latest added features, as well as its features in general. Keep in mind that we are currently developing this software, so it misses some features, may have some bugs and needs a better UI.
MIT License
Changelog
Added
A new offset image effect to easily move the image around, with animation support.
Implemented a "smart slicer" system that lets the software automatically slice a spritesheet in separate frames on image import, without the user having to specify horizontal and vertical frames. #893
Added optional integer zooming for the canvas, which can be enabled from the Preferences. Disabled by default. #894
Fast way to clone frames of a tag. #861
Added a reverse frames option on the right click menu of the frame buttons, to easily reverse the order of the selected frames.
A new Timeline category in the Preferences with options such as the colors of onion skinning's color mode, and whether a layer should be selected when a layer button (such as lock, visibility etc) gets pressed.
It is now possible to disable saving frames that have a tag to a different folder, as well as specifying a separator character in the file names.
Palette file types now exist as filters in the Open file dialog.
.bmp and .tga file types now exist in the Open dialog of the Web version.
Changed
The image effect animation system introduced in v0.11 has been overhauled with a better user interface, and with tweening options. #879
Images stored in RAM for the undo/redo system when draw tools are used are now compressed. This reduces RAM usage. #890
The cel opacity slider now affects all of the selected cels. #865
The right click menu of the frame buttons now works for all selected frames, besides "move left" and "move right".
The canvas is automatically enlarged when importing an image of a larger size to the project.
Error codes are now being explained in the error messages. #891
Newly cloned frames are now automatically selected. #861
"Centralize Image" has been moved from the Image menu to the frame button right click menu. #884
The project's name is no longer saved inside .pxo files. Loaded projects now get their name directly from the file name.
Clicking on a layer button (such as lock, visibility etc) no longer selects the layer by default. This behavior can now be changed in the Preferences.
The image menu has been re-arranged. #878
The "OK" button of the save and export dialogs are now named "Save" and "Export" respectively. #876
Fixed
Generating palettes from the current project no longer crashes when group and 3D layers exist.
Fixed wrong saturation and value values. They were divided by 360, while they should have been divided by 100. #879
Fixed image effect animations appearing when changing the affected option, even if that image effect had no animatable properties. #879

Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
Fix: Make classic brushes not go brighter when smudging into transparency. Thanks to cada for reporting.
Feature: "Ratchet" canvas rotation shortcut, using Alt+Shift by default. Rotates the canvas in 15° increments. Thanks to Kvothen for suggesting.
Fix: Don't filter out undo depth messages when playing back recordings.
Fix: Make floating docks restore properly again. Thanks SnazComic for reporting.
Fix: Don't show tag options when right-clicking on a brush preset. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
Fix: Properly disable blend mode combo box in layer properties dialog. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Move chat status bar button into a legal position. Thanks Flz for reporting.
Fix: Correct various errors in text recording reading and writing.
Fix: Don't keep locally forked canvas states around. This reduces memory usage by a bunch, especially when drawing locally.
Feature: Add layer on current key frame button is now in the top bar of the timeline, next to the other key frame buttons. Thanks FallenArts for suggesting.
Feature: Show a notice when there's no tracks yet, rather than just showing an empty timeline grid.
Fix: Actually pick color when adding a color to the color picker through the color dialog.
Feature: Mark window when a chat message is received. On Windows, this makes the icon in the task bar orange. On macOS, it supposedly bounces an icon somewhere. On other platforms it probably does something similar, indicating which window is the one that got a message ready. Thanks Radio for suggesting.
Fix: Don't add current color to the palette when creating it. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Make exported palettes not start using the exported location to save changes to. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Feature: Allow muting notifications for a window. Thanks Blozzom for suggesting.
Fix: Enable the lock session menu option properly, it remained stuck disabled in some cases before.
Feature: Allow selecting and copying text from the pinned message (through the context menu, it doesn't take keyboard shortcuts.) Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
Fix: Don't claim that a layer is locked when it's just not visible in the current frame.
Feature: Make canvas rendering and preview painting asynchronous. This should make the UI much more responsive when e.g. changing layer visibility or transforming a large selection.
Fix: Properly handle canvas resizes while transforming a selection, it now no longer causes the source of the transform to get offset.
Fix: Show the current color properly on program startup.
Feature: Make the color wheel innards go from least to most saturated, putting it in line with how most other software presents it. This can be toggled in the preferences.
Feature: Holding Shift while moving a selection now keeps it along the closest axis. Thanks Kvothen for suggesting.
Feature: Implement brush export and make the brush import also understand classic brushes.
Fix: Make erasing with MyPaint brushes in indirect mode actually work.
Feature: Make sliders adhere to the chosen color space. Thanks to leandro2222 for suggesting.
Feature: Increase font size on emoji posted into chat. Thanks to leandro2222 for suggesting.
Feature: Allow adding an avatar from the login dialog.
Fix: Show main window maximized by default, because who wants a drawing program in a tiny window.
Fix: Give docks sensible initial sizes. Thanks to xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Don't tabify the now invisible-by-default timeline and onion skins by default. Thanks Ben for finding.
Fix: Make the flipbook remember your last crop, frame range and playback speed for the current window. Thanks Ben for finding.
Fix: Don't mark guests as registered. Thanks to xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Allow assigning a shortcut to open the Layouts dialog (F9 by default) and to the entries in the Help menu (nothing by default.)
Fix: Make reloading the last brush preset slot-specific, since it's nonsense to clobber your current slot with the last preset you set in another one.
Feature: Allow increasing and decreasing key frame exposure. Thanks Tabuley for suggesting.
Fix: Properly update the view when the canvas size changes, rather than leaving stale areas outside of the canvas.
Feature: Add shortcuts to swap the contents of brush slots to allow for a kind of toggling behavior using a single shortcut. Thanks xxxx for suggesting.
Fix: Make drawpile:// URL handling actually work on Windows. Thanks Sal for reporting.
Fix: Don't draw the curves for MyPaint brushes in the brush editor with the same color as the background grid.
Feature: Allow exporting animations from the Flipbook, using the cropping, frame range and speed set in it.
Fix: Pre-fill image saving file dialogs with the current filename, rather than the previously opened or saved one. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Make filling transparent areas work better, rather than different surrounding colors making it behave differently.
Fix: Make layer folders work as sources for flood filling.

Lunacy is a full-fledged Sketch editor. Using Lunacy, you can create new designs. It’s a perfect tool for prototyping. You can add simple shape elements to your layout (such as drawing an oval, rectangle, line, or adding a bitmap) and drawing, aligning, and joining objects.
Freemium
Changelog
Individual borders:
Define the thickness of borders individually for each side of a rectangle. To do this:
In the border settings, click border settings icon. You’ll see four individual edit boxes.
Use these boxes to adjust the thickness of a border on each side. To remove a border from a side, set its thickness to 0.
Also, you can now use the swap button button added to the border settings to swap the colors of the fill and border. The button is available for all shapes with solid and gradient fills. Alternatively, use the Shift + Z shortcut.
Min and max dimensions for frames with auto layout:
You can now set min and max width and/or height to auto layout frames. To do this:
In the auto layout settings, click min-max icon.
Define the required dimensions in the respective fields (see the figure below).
Improvements:
Images are now treated as fills of rectangle shapes. It makes it much easier to crop and resize images, and to round their corners.
Image fill methods now include the Crop option. Use it to move or resize the image, if you want only a certain part of it to be visible within the bounds of the shape.
Improved angular gradient editor. You can now change the position of the center and modify the shape of the ellipse.
In the Crop mode (Shift + Enter or click crop icon on the context toolbar), you can now cut out both raster images and vector shapes.
By default, new documents you create in Lunacy are now cloud documents.

Bugfix: #1477 Macro IDE: changing the colors does not have an effect
Bugfix: #1474 Throw a FATAL ERROR when multiple cellname have the same refnum
Bugfix: #1473 Ignore 'Summarize missing layers' when sending XOR result to other layout)
Bugfix: #1472 DEF path with first/last segment length < halfwidth are read wrong

Bugfix: #1460 CellRename dialog is larger now initially
Enhancement: #1307 (partial) Produce UNPLACED macros if location is provided
Enhancement: New aliases for inline operators (e.g. "+=") in RBA::Region and similar classes Reasoning is that "+=" in Ruby is resolved into "+" and "=" which does not make use of the inline optimization. Using "join_with" instead will avoid this. Other alias: "join" for "+", "and" for "&", "and_with" for "&=", "not" for "-", "not_with" for "-=", "or" for "|", "or_with" for "|=", "xor" for "^" and "xor_with" for "^=".
Bugfix: deep region 'transform' with plain shift was not working properly with scaled instances
Bugfix: re-run of include-expanded DRC/LVS wasn't working
Bugfix: Proper Python stack trace in debugger for Python 3.10
Enhancement: Allowing to select cells by error markers too (so that PCells with errors can be selected)
Bugfix: avoid a segfault in the properties dialog
Enhancement: crash log now is shown in a more reliable way - but less fancy. In addition, a crash log is written 'klayout_crash.log' in the home path and the crash message is printed to error.
Bugfix: Don't clear search when switching macro editor pages
Enhancement: Macro editor file change notification now also is no longer a modal window
Enhancement: Macro editor does not list __pycache__ directories
Enhancement: Pick a tab in Macro editor from the context menu of tab bar
Bugfix: moving a text with a non-centered vertical alignment now uses the right location
Enhancement: 'copy interactive' will maintain selection
Enhancement Better integration of partial mode - for example 'interactive move' now also acts on partial selection
Bugfix: cleanup after deleting cells in partial mode - no new top cells appear
Enhancement: package manager
So not update macros while installing: avoids transient error messages
Offer to autorun macros also after package update (so far only on package new installation
Bugfix: Fixed a issue with the search box on the macro editor when switching to the replace text box, focus was passed to the text editor instead
Enhancement: CIF reader progress now functional
Enhancement: some speedup while sorting instances
Bugfix: LayoutView does not longer need processEvents when saving an image to PNG

Drawpile is a sketching oriented drawing program with a twist: you can share your drawing live with other users.
Lizenz: Open Source
Changelog
This release represents about a month of development. The server and the command-line tools have been updated now, which means that hosting on your computer is available again. Also, Drawpile now works on Android phones, rather than just tablets. And of course there's been many smaller features and fixes along the way.
Here's all that changed. When there's more information about it and maybe a video or screenshot showing it off, it'll be linked.
Features:
Draw a hatching pattern on frames in the timeline that are the same as the currently visible one, making it easier to figure out if it's being re-used.
Bring back dprectool, the command-line tool that converts Drawpile recordings. It should work mostly the same as it did in Drawpile 2.1.
Apply parent folder opacity to frames within it, useful for sketch tracks. Thanks to TeaLord9000 for suggesting.
Add a "small screen" mode, which should make the application usable on phones. Thanks to Verdrusk for suggesting.
Allow changing the application font size, rather than using the system default that may be garbage, especially on Android. Also Verdrusk's fault.
Locking docks now also locks toolbars, rather than still allowing you to move them around on accident.
Kinetic scrolling. This lets you click/tap/touch scrollable stuff and fling it around instead of using the scroll bars or wheel. Configurable in the preferences. Thanks again Verdrusk.
Capture volume rocker on Android and bind it to undo and redo by default. Thanks to cl for suggesting.
Add compatibility for Drawpile 2.1's broken indirect mode.
Add a setting for the background color behind the canvas. Thanks to Nightshade for suggesting.
Let operators create layers beyond the 256 per-user maximum. They will use layers of user 0 first, then 255, 254 etc. Thanks to haxekhaex2 for reporting.
Bring back drawpile-cmd, the command-line tool that renders Drawpile recordings to images. Should also mostly work like it did in Drawpile 2.1.
Implement drawpile-timelapse, a new command-line tool that turns Drawpile recordings into timelapse videos.
Bring back the builtin server, allowing you to host "on this computer" again.
Stick ID alias and listing hosting options behind an advanced options checkbox, since they keep causing confusion.
Allow choosing ffmpeg path on Windows. Thanks xxxx for suggesting.
Allow the client to translate server messages, rather than having them always be in English.
Show if the current brush is in erase or alpha lock mode in the toolbar and allow resetting it via a click. Thanks Geese for suggesting.
Paste in center of the canvas (instead of the center of the view) when the pasted image size is equal to or larger than the canvas size. Thanks Meru for suggesting.
Fixes:
Apply color wheel direction to color dialogs too. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
Don't smoothe the canvas view when at 100% zoom with the canvas rotated at a right angle, since that just blurs it for no reason. Thanks SadColor for reporting.
Make flipbook shortcut work while the flipbook is in focus, causing it to refresh its view.
Cap flipbook range properly, rather than letting you set a range beyond the last frame.
Remove the useless "?" button from dialogs in Windows. Thanks vipperz for reporting.
Turn off input event compression, which causes jaggy lines on slow devices.
Make flipbook extend the playback range if it was on the last frame and new ones are added to the timeline.
Make two-finger zoom and rotation not go completely crazy when the canvas is mirrored or flipped. Thanks BoyOnion for reporting.
Don't crash when picking a brush preset on Android. Thanks to zetalambo and VeeBeeArt for reporting.
Selections finally no longer sometimes disappear when transforming them. Thanks to Spuzzy, Xan and xxxx for reporting.
Make the receive delay not delay your own undos.
Make Drawpile 2.1 binary (dprec) recordings play back properly. Text (dptxt) recordings are not supported.
Synchronize rendering during recording playback properly.
Don't duplicate local fork on soft reset or undo depth change.
Make Erase, Divide and Subtract layer modes in ORA files compatible with Krita.
Make host page in the start dialog work properly on Arabic and other right-to-left languages.
Move brushes to the proper place in MediBang-esque layout. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Replace the reset notice dialog with less disruptive on-canvas messages. If you continue drawing, the notice about saving the previous state will dismiss itself. Thanks to Blozzom, vipperz, xxxx, zheida and probably others for reporting.
Make preferences dialog not use custom layouts anymore. Fixes the dialog getting stuck at an unusably tiny size on Windows, makes it work with Arabic and other right-to-left languages and allows resizing the dialog as well as scrolling its contents.
Drag-zooming (Ctrl+Middle Click by default) now zooms on the initial click location, rather than the center of the canvas. Thanks to Valaek for reporting.
Don't select layer when toggling its visibility.
Show a crossed-out folder icon for hidden layer groups, rather than switching to the layer icon for them. Thanks to Blozzom for reporting.
Give erase mode its own icon so that it doesn't get confused for the eraser slot. Thanks Geese for reporting.
Single-pixel offset when pasting with an existing selection present. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Server Features:
Add --web-admin-allowed-origin option, to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the given value. Particularly useful for development, where you don't particularly want to set up an nginx to make CORS happy. Thanks Chem for reporting.
Update the server to use the 2.2 protocol.
Make catchup explicit. Solves both the "stuck at 99%" problem during session resets and the canvas too be unlocked too early.
Server Fixes:
Fix up some invalid casts and thread ownership issues. Not sure if they actually caused issues in practice, but especially on Windows they might have.
Translations:
Arabic translation updated by Arc.
Italian translation updated by Bluu.
Japanese translation updated by ubanis.
Simplified Chinese translation updated by xxxx.
Turkish translation updated by duennisss.

Changelog
Fix: Make Android build work again. Thanks Tetriser for reporting.
Fix: Allow indirect mode in 2.1 sessions when opacity dynamics are disabled. Thanks to Blozzom for reporting.
Fix: Make LCH color wheel circle not look so bright and discontinuous.
Fix: Refresh canvas view harder on resize to avoid artifacts on some systems. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Use proper background color in resize dialog. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Correct a rounding error when converting pixels for display. This corrects both the visuals and the color picker when picking from the merged image. Thanks deovise and hipofiz for reporting.
Fix: Don't crash when a new user joins when using the builtin server and a local fork is present. Thanks to Kink for reporting.
Feature: Interpolate inputs that are far away from each other to compensate against fast strokes producing jagged curves. Can be disabled in the input preferences.
Fix: Make build directories outside of the source directory work again. Thanks Aquargent for reporting.
Fix: Properly handle modifier key releases for keyboard canvas shortcuts. Thanks Daystream for reporting.
Server Feature: Implement a shared bans system, letting owners of multiple servers manage a single list instead of having to keep them in sync manually. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
Server Feature: Allow exempting users from ban ranges, to help alleviate false positives.
Fix: Make IPv6 addresses work in invite links.
Fix: Properly add drawpile:// in front of direct invite links when hosting "on this computer".
Feature: Support reading and writing Photoshop Document (PSD) files. Thanks pachuco, onyx, Geese and probably others for suggesting. Thanks xxxx for helping getting it compatible with other software.
Fix: Make MyPaint brush permission not deny drawing with classic brushes. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Offer to crop all avatars, not just non-square ones. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
Feature: Allow adding labels onto brush preset thumbnails. Thanks Paris Green for causing this.
Fix: Don't restore flipbook to previous location and size if that would put it outside of any available screen. Thanks Ausjamcian for reporting.
Server Feature: Allow exporting and importing session bans. They are encrypted with a per-server key by default. Thanks tincancrab for suggesting.
Fix: Prevent banning yourself from sessions.
Server Feature: Allow moderators to exempt sessions from the idle timeout. This ability can be disabled by server owners. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
Fix: Show proper reasons when a session is terminated, rather than always claiming the server is shutting down.
Server Feature: Allow specifying a reason when terminating a session manually.
Fix: Squash whitespace in session listings to prevent funky display. Thanks yeen for reporting.
Server Fix: Error out when invalid --extauth parameter is given to drawpile-srv. Previously it would just keep going and simply not work without any indication as to why. Thanks RAINTARD for running into this.
Feature: Allow exporting images, which saves them without setting the current file or warning about the image being merged together.
Feature: Disable selection-dependent menu items (Deselect, Fill Selection etc.) when no selection is present.
Server Feature: Add Roles tab to session settings to allow changing operator and trusted status of registered users not currently online, as well as allowing importing and exporting this list of users. Thanks tincancrab for suggesting.
Feature: In addition to sounds, allow configuring popup bubbles and task bar flashing in notification preferences. Thanks MagicaJaphet and Bluestrings for suggesting.
Feature: Add a notification for unexpected disconnects.
Fix: Play back sounds in a different way that should fix the issues with chugging or wrong output devices that some systems have. Thanks Blozzom and Snover for reporting.
Feature: Allow configuring notifications for private messages separately from regular chat messages. Mentions can be configured to use these notifications, allowing silencing of regular chat, but still being notified or stuff directed at you. Thanks leandro2222 for suggesting.
Fix: Replace the terrifying notification sound effects with stuff from KDE's Ocean Sound Theme.
Fix: Don't delay own laser trails as if it were a stroke from another user. Thanks matt for reporting.
Fix: Properly update avatar on user markers when they reconnect with a different one. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Fix: Show own user marker again when using the laser pointer.
Fix: Use previous avatar when using the reconnect button after a disconnect.
Fix: Don't trigger a cacophony of notifications after joining a session, just play a single notification once catchup is done instead.
Feature: Store alpha preserve state of layers in ORA files for better Krita compatibility (requires Krita 5.2.1 or newer.)
Feature: Allow onion skins to wrap around the timeline, toggleable in the onion skins dock. Thanks Hopfel for suggesting.
Feature: Fill the brush slots with nicer default values on first startup, rather than them all being the same pixel brush.
Fix: Don't lock tool slots when using the eraser tool, to avoid accidentally getting stuck in it.
Feature: Translate a single-colored bottom layer into background color when loading ORA and PSD files.
Fix: Make Alt+Space canvas shortcut sorta work in Windows. Thanks Bovy and xxxx for reporting.
Feature: Drawpile 2.1 animation import.
Server Fix: Don't boot user when they enter an incorrect password, let them try again.
Server Feature: Allow the user to pick how they want to log in, to avoid the common issue of wanting to join as a guest but picking a username that's taken.
Fix: Nudge catchup if it gets stuck without any messages received for a while.
Feature: Remember accounts, not just passwords. Should reduce the clicks and typing needed to log in even if you use multiple accounts.
Feature: Allow toggling whole tile marking in the inspector, since it makes some things easier to see.
Feature: Render flipbook frames in the background and indicate that fact with a loading spinner. It no longer lags the UI and gets done faster because of multithreading.
Feature: Crop flipbook when a selection is present upon opening it.
Feature: Make the flipbook UI clearer. The buttons now look like buttons, the uncrop button has a better icon and only shows while the view is cropped and the speed slider shows how many FPS you're actually running at.
Fix: Allow saving and loading files in weird Android folders that chew up the file names internally.
Server Feature: Allow servers to have a rules text that users are prompted to accept upon connecting. Clients remember that they accepted the rules and won't prompt again unless they changed since last time.
Feature: Add velocity and distance dynamics to classic brushes. Similar to how they worked for the input settings before, but more flexible than just a pressure mapping.
Feature: Allow grabbing the current brush settings of another user.
Fix: Relax transform size restrictions so that transforms of layers that cover the whole canvas don't always get cancelled.
Server Feature: Allow servers to set a minimum protocol version for sessions being hosted.
Server Feature: Let clients know at the beginning of the login if the session they're trying to join is nonexistent. Thanks Meru for suggesting.
Server Feature: Allow server owners to make sessions only joinable through direct links. Thanks Meru for suggesting.
Feature: Add touch tester, available under the Help menu.
Fix: Actually put the link that's being joined into the address input when using a web link, rather than leaving it blank.
Fix: Make Recolor (alpha locked) mode way faster.
Fix: Allow using gestures instead of touch screen controls, hopefully making zooming on touch pads work again.

Release Notes
Inkscape 1.3.2 is an important bugfix release, which fixes a data loss bug in the recently released Inkscape 1.3.1, along with another, smaller issue. We recommend that you update Inkscape from 1.3.1 as soon as possible. If using Windows, please first uninstall the older version.
Stars, polygons, spirals, 3D boxes are now saved correctly (MR #6090)
The restoration mechanism does not yet work for Inkscape svg files though some data can be recovered if you open the files. Unfortunately any files you have saved as plain or optimized SVG will never be recoverable, as the shape metadata is irretrievably lost for those file types.
When using the new 'Text to glyphs' function, lines no longer end with @ signs, when there's a linebreak (MR #6094, Bug #4675).
Traditional Chinese translation updated (MR #6105)
Windows installer banner layout fixed (MR #6097)

Changelog
This release represents a little less than a month of development. It contains lots of bugfixes and some translation updates.
Some of these points link to the development blog, where you can read more about those fixes and features.
Meta:
Drawpile is now on libera.chat, providing a chatroom you can join directly through your browser or any IRC client. Look here for details..
There's now 32 bit releases provided for Windows and Android. This isn't relevant for most people, since most devices have been 64 bit for over a decade, but still nice to have the remaining few included too.
Community Servers:
FoxDice Drawpile Group community has been added. They provide multiple public servers in Asian regions. If you're from there, you can use these servers for lower latency.
Sugar and Spice community has been added. They provide private hosting, their rules explain how to gain access.
Features:
Add libera.chat link to start dialog. It links to this page.
Shortcut login flow on servers that only support guest and internal account logins.
Allow changing tablet driver through Edit menu on Windows.
Add a Tablet Setup link in the start dialog. It links to this documentation page.
Focus the input field on the Join page when switching to it so that you can immediately paste a link without having to click it.
Fixes:
Actually disable brush taking in 2.1 sessions, last attempt didn't stick. Thanks again Blozzom for reporting.
Also show mute notifications action when right-clicking the chat. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
Make brush palette less immensely slow. Thanks lowontrash for reporting.
Show kick and ban messages in the correct order, without duplicates. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Force the canvas to refresh on resize even harder because some systems still get artifacts. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Default the mouse wheel to pan the canvas on macOS instead of zooming it, since that makes more sense for its two-dimensional scroll wheels. Thanks Charmandrigo for reporting.
Make Apple Magic Trackpad and hopefully other touch pads work. Thanks Charmandrigo for reporting and helping figure this out.
Add a close button to the tablet tester, playback, event log and flipbook dialogs so that it can be closed on Android and other systems without window decorations without having to press some button or key combination.
Enable fingerpainting on Android by default if the device doesn't have a stylus.
Prefer versioned lconvert executable over unversioned one to make things work on Fedora. Thanks lowontrash for reporting.
Look in source directory for assets when building, making running from the build directory possible. Can be turned off with -DSOURCE_ASSETS=OFF. Thanks Meru, lowontrash and probably others for running into issues with this.
Make large circles and curves drawn with the circle and curve tool not look all jaggy.
Make large rectangles close properly with MyPaint brushes. Thanks haxekhaex2 for reporting.
Allow horizontal scrolling in the preferences dialog so the close button doesn't get thrown off-screen on mobile. Thanks Xkower for reporting.
Allow scrolling of preferences and start dialog sidebar.
Move preferences dialog sidebar to the top on macOS and to the bottom on Android, to fit better with how those systems work. Thanks Snover and Xkower.
Make copying and pasting work on Android. Thanks ariqhadiyan for reporting.
Open files in the background to avoid "not responding" warnings. Thanks ariqhadiyan for reporting.
Force main window to fit screen on Android whenever the docks change, to avoid spills beyond the edge of the screen. Thanks Xkower for reporting.
Don't load ORA files in parallel on Android. This is slower, but avoids the application getting terminated for using too much memory. Thanks ariqhadiyan for reporting.
Make keyboard modifiers work better on Android. Thanks ariqhadiyan for reporting.
Default Export Image option to export as PNG instead of ORA, because that's what that option is for. Thanks SadColor for reporting.
Properly restore avatar again when reconnecting to a session on a 2.1 server. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Make kinetic scrolling work in brush editor categories list.
Make canvas rendering not get stuck when switching frames really quickly. Thanks Kink and Hopfel for reporting.
Update color swatch when using fill selection, recolor selection and color erase selection.
Only update color swatch when using tools that actually put those colors on the canvas.
Make color palette swatch select last used color so that it doesn't get stuck when switching brush slots. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Make Copy Merged and Copy Without Background from a floating selection work again. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Make Export Selection, Copy Merged and Copy Without Background adhere to current view mode. Thanks Bovy for reporting.
Make fill tool adhere to current view mode (minus onion skins) when using Merged Image as the source. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Don't crash when changing saturation in color dialog when using HSL or LCH color models. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Don't deadlock when saving and clearing password fallback.
Reset floating selection when filling it to avoid weird effects if the fill is inside the originally selected area. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Properly load annotations and timeline from ORA files without a background. Thanks MyaThingoss for reporting.
Don't hide dock titlebars when pressing shift when a text field is in focus, since that might hide a field you're currently typing in. Thanks Trite for reporting.
Disable Hold Shift to Arrange by default, since it's not needed most of the time.
Don't claim every username is taken when connecting to a server with the old login flow doesn't allow guest logins, instead tell the user that they need an account. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Give checkbox outlines more contrast, since they're virtually invisible in most themes. This is a patch to Qt.
Change italic to bold text, since the former is not readable in Chinese script.
Make keep aspect ratio checkbox in resize dialog keep the current aspect ratio, not the original one.
Don't act like keep aspect ratio is checked when resizing from a selection. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Make onion skin color partially transparent by default so that they don't turn into solid blocks on colored stuff. Thanks BulletPepper for reporting.
Clarify the host dialog by adding additional messages that explain common sources of confusion, such as the title being required, disallowing invite links as the title, the password being necessary to host a private session and "host on this computer" requiring port forwarding.
Prevent jittering pixels on the canvas at certain zooms and rotations. Thanks Bluestrings, Meru and taiyu for reporting this. Also thanks Meru for actually finding the solution and contributing this fix.
Don't reset brush mode when clicking on the freehand tool button from a different tool. Thanks Big Piston for reporting.
Render annotations when saving to PNG and JPEG. Thanks chrystalclear and Rykuta for reporting.
Don't reset annotation settings to weird values when there's no text. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
When hiding a layer group, indicate that all containing layers are hidden too. Thanks Missile for reporting.
Take scroll into account when reordering tracks. Thanks Meru for reporting.
Show proper ext-auth URL when prompting for a login. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
Properly show server info URL as a clickable link when prompting for a login.
Handle view mode changes (frame view, onion skins etc.) properly in drawpile-cmd and drawpile-timelapse tools.
Server Features:
The dpwebadmin frontend has been updated for the 2.2 server.
Server Fixes:
No longer show "cannot look up one session and then join another" when joining a session with an ID alias. Thanks Kink and Fabian for finding this.
Translations:
Korean translation created by TapodJointer.
German translation updated by askmeaboutloom.
Italian translation updated by Bluu.
Japanese translation updated by ubanis.
Simplified Chinese translation updated by xxxx.

Changelog
Bugfix: #1563 Duplicated Tabs in the Macro Development Tool
Bugfix: #1560 git+https package installation on windows fails
Bugfix: #1559 (partial) Move function not respecting some diagonals
Bugfix: #1549 Layout.error_layer now available in recursive shape search
Bugfix: #1542 KLayout crashes on exit
Enhancement: #1535 Support pathlib.Path in Python API Implicitly converts objects to strings using "str(object)" (Python) or "object.to_s" (Ruby).
Bugfix: #1533 KLayout crashing with two consecutive calls of the same LayoutView::show_layout command
Bugfix: #1531 When symlinking a .def to a target without .def suffix, file can't be loaded
Enhancement: #1530 polygon from 2 size tuple points The effect of this feature is pretty basic: tuples or lists are used as constructor arguments for implicitly creating an object in place of them. Hence, "(x,y)" can be used instead of a vector or a point. In some cases, this leads to ambiguities and the implicit resolution will fail however. Specifically a list of size-2 tuples can be passed to the "points" arguments of Polygon and Path.
Enhancement: #1528 LEF: Implement LEF58_WIDTHTABLE
Enhancement: new methods (D)Edge#euclidian_distance and (D)EdgePair#distance
Bugfix: package download dialog: mute an assertion, less questions for re-running macros
Enhancement: reading $KLAYOUT_GIT_PROXY_HTTP for proxy URL in Git downloads
Bugfix: cheats were not enabled for edges and (implicit) polygon merges such as for "sized"
Bugfix: more consistent behavior for Marker Browser / Scan Shapes
Scan Shapes Hierarchical will scan from current cell, not all cells
Marker browser shows markers propertly also in descended mode
Marker database description of shown in selection box
Bugfix: Search feature in macro editor does not jump back to first position
Bugfix: "Trace All Nets"
Asks for stack now in case of multiple stacks (previously: took that from "Trace Nets" dialog)
Skips symbols which are not used (previously: extracted them as disconnected layers)

KLayout is an intuitive piece of software that is designed from the ground up to not only make it as simple as possible for you to view GDS and OASIS files but also to effortlessly edit them or actually build layout designs from scratch.
Freeware
Changelog
Features:
Enhancement: #1662 Strong default grids
Enhancement: #1656 Display-->Goto Position dialog should accept + as well as - for number prefixes
Bugfix: #1651 Errors when adding polygons with 4 points
Bugfix: #1644 DRC: some issues with edge layers
Bugfix: #1643 DRC: Feeding the same layer to two-layer operations in deep mode does not render the desired result
Enhancement: #1638 let klayout marker browser read strmxor .. xor.gds.gz, xor.oas result files
Enhancement: #1637 XOR optimization for prBoundary layer
Bugfix: #1632 rdb python/ruby module: modifing items not possible as they are const

Enhancement: New ruler type "auto measure along edge"
Enhancement: Trigger ruler measurement on mouse hovering transiently
Enhancement: Min and max value bounds for PCell parameters in editor The condition is not strictly enforced - for example it is not checked when changing parameters programmatically. For that, use "coerce_parameters". Still, this feature is an editing aid.
Bugfix: Pixel garbage in color selector button with "Auto" color selected
Bugfix: DRC/LVS - connect_explicit did not accept an array of nets as single argument
Bugfix: 'edge outside polygon' now consistently ignores the border of the polygon
Bugfix: Warning level was ignored for some warnings in LEF/DEF reader
Bugfix: Netlist reader: anonymous circuits are not checked for known parameters
Enhancement: LVS - Supporting remote must-connect connections So far, must-connect connections had to be made one level up in the hierarchy or promoted further using labels and such. Now, must-connect connections can be made at any point up in the hierarchy.
Bugfix: LVS - do not waste too much time analyzing failed matches
Enhancement: LVS - LVS: Consider net names identical that differ in signal type suffix only - e.g. 'NET:I' is identical to 'NET'
Enhancement: OASIS reader will produce layers that are listed in layer table but empty. Previously, empty layers were never created, even if listed in the layer table.
Enhancement: Reading from HTTP streams and pipes now supports automatic .gz uncompression
Enhancement: New DRC Features:
"edges" method allows selecting convext/concave/step edges
Interaction count for edge/edge edge/polygon "interacting"
Improved handling of dots (degenerated edges) - these are now passed through the edge/edge and edge/polygon booleans and participate in "interact". This enables selecting corners and using them to select edges.
Enhancement: New RBA/pya Features:
Main window title: MainWindow#title (property)
LayoutView#is_dirty?
Triangulation: Region#delaunay
Quality rasterizer: Region#rasterize
Generic edge and polygon filters and operators support hierarchical processing with Python or Ruby callbacks: classes EdgePairFilter, EdgePairOperator, EdgePairToPolygonOperator, EdgePairToEdgeOperator, EdgeFilter, EdgeOperator, EdgeToPolygonOperator, EdgeToEdgePairOperator, PolygonFilter, PolygonOperator PolygonToEdgeOperator, PolygonToEdgePairOperator, TextFilter, TextOperator, TextToPolygonOperator Methods: EdgePairs#filter, EdgePairs#filtered, EdgePairs#process, EdgePairs#processed, same for Edges, Regions and Texts
Polygon#split, Polygon#break, same for DPolygon, SimplePolygon, DSimplePolygon
Keyword arguments for Python, Ruby and Expressions
You can now also use "klayout" package inside the application (same code for Python module and application) - i.e. "import klayout.db"
Synonyms: connect/disconnect for events for better compatibility with PyQt5

Changelog
Features:
Enhancement: Porting 2.5d view for compatibility with OpenGL 3.0 for better support on other platforms
This however comes with a larger memory footprint during rendering. Something to fix later.
Bugfix: Cannot read LVS or L2N report with generic devices
Bugfix: LVS soft connections: making a soft connection to a device terminal disconnects the device
Bugfix: Spice reader accepts circuits without definition but pins get shorted
Bugfix: Spice reader ".endl" should accept lib name
Bugfix: Update sample macros for migration to Qt6
Enhancement: Qt major version-wise Assistant
Bugfix: Search and replace: Delete instances crashes KLayout
Enhancement: 'Visibility Follows Selection' option for the 2.5d view
Bugfix: HTTPS timeout included time to enter password
So you had 10 seconds max. to enter your password :(
Bugfix: marker and net browser windows did not get closed when clicking on close icon
Bugfix: "duplicate interactive" now also working for rulers
Enhancement: "upcase", "downcase" functions for expressions
Enhancement: DRC features to reduce coding effort for certain rules
New options for "corners": 'absolute' and 'negative' options
New options for with/without_angle: 'absolute' option.
Bugfixes: SPICE reader
now detects recursive circuit calls
skips empty top level circuit now, which did not happen when control statements were present at top level
Enhancements: DRC report category formation:
"output" will add shapes to a category is the category name was used before
"output" accepts an array of names for the category name, creating a sub-category hierarchy
Enhancement: Enhanced handling of cell variants in DRC reports
Now, cell variants are listed with the original cell name and a description of the variant formation.
Enhancement: Marker browser enhancements and RDB API
items can be added comment strings now.
"info" and "save" function in marker database browser File menu
file name shown in RDB selection drop-down
Enhancement: DRC waiver concept
KLayout now includes a way to store waive flags along with RDB databases. A waiver DB is nothing else than a report database file annotated with waive flags and other attributes like comments, images etc. For details see documentation under "DRC Basics". New functions in marker browser:
apply waiver DB
save as waiver DB
Enhancement: Editor hooks
This feature allows dynamically annotating shapes while they are edited. This feature is somewhat experimental as of now. See "EditorHooks" class for an example.
