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.

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.

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

    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
