Version 2.1.3 is now out, the second stable release of the 2.1 series.

Feature changes in this release are:

• Righthand side of the viewport is now indicated in the navigator when the view is rotated
• Navigator now only shows the canvas pixel content. User cursors and other decorations are no longer shown. To improve general drawing performance, navigator refresh rate is capped to 2 updates per second.
• Chatbox is now restored to 2.0.0 style, but there is now an option to enable a 2.0 style mode. (Right click on chatbox and select compat mode)
• Added inspector tool. Read more here.
• Added a users tab to the server log dialog. All users, including those who have logged out, are listed there. The undo/redo and ban commands can be used on logged out users as well.
• Server change: added support for banning users who have logged out

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed showing layers in user cursors
• Fixed crash when changing tools mid-stroke
• Open/save dialogs now remember the last used folder

The first stable release of the 2.1 series is now out.

If you haven't yet tried out the beta, check out the 2.1.0 release announcement for a list of all the new features.

Version 2.0 and 2.1 sessions can coexist on the same server, but a 2.0 client cannot join a 2.1 session or vice versa. Since it may take some time until everyone has updated to the new version, version 2.0.11 is still available in the release archive. An updated build of 2.0.11 is available as a ZIP package that does not need installation, so both version can be run side by side.

Feature changes in 2.1.2:

• Brush dab max spacing is now 999% and max brush size 255px. These sizes are available via the spinboxes.
• Implemented fixed layers (a generalization of the old background layer feature)
• Added Vietnamese translation

Bugs fixed in version 2.1.2:

• Fixed crash when using flood fill on an canvas without any layers
• Fixed crash when trying to reset after resetting to the very beginning of the history
• Clicking on the layer show/hide glyph no longer selects the layer
• OpenRaster: the xres and yres values are now preserved
• Fixed canvas not appearing immediately when login dialog was closed
• Fixed chat username line breaking
• Fixed Recolor (and other modes) in non-incremental mode

After a long wait, Drawpile 2.1.0 beta is finally here.

This is the first release of the 2.1.x series, which is not compatible with the 2.0.x series. (The 2.1 server supports both 2.0 and 2.1 clients, however. See the version compatibilty chart for details.)

As the first release of a new incompatible series, this is a beta release. Once all the potential showstopping bugs are found and fixed, 2.1 will become the new stable series.

Read on for a list of new features and changes.
