This release is primarily intended to improve stability and to fix user reported bugs. It also includes quite a large number of improvements and enhancements.
- add tokens to automatically generate your File Name.
A single Render Queue Item can now be used to render multiple .
New Centre Pivot (Centroid) option in the menu.
- turn these on in the new menu.
Beta features can be turned on in the .
- a new SkSL Shader.
Updates to Skia have resulted in changes to how some of the are written. More details .
are now supported in .
The has been updated to include an Exclusion List and now includes Proper Case.
Having the UI update during playback now carries a much smaller performance hit. This preference has moved from the Window to the .
The Math Distribution now has syntax and array variable highlighting.
z + double click
on a shape will zoom to fit the screen. The shape doesn’t need to be selected.
You can now render to .webm with support for VP8 and VP9 codecs.
The Home/End
keys now take you to the Playback Start/ End. Holding cmd/ctrl + Home/End
will do the same for the Composition Start/End.
The Sub-Mesh now generates a Length Context, this means that you can, for example, colour all the lines on an imported SVG according to their length.
Improvements to how copied or duplicated Elements are named.
Color swatches now indicate Alpha.
We have temporarily removed Metal from the Viewport backend options. This is due to compatibility issues with macOS 10.13.
We will need to discontinue support for macOS 10.13 in a future release as a result of this issue.
