- Timelapse video recording function. You can find it at Menu->File->Timelapse video. - Layer panel mode — toggle solo layer . Will allow you visually isolate by visibility any selected layers/folders from all others. - Layer panel mode — toggle highlight layer. This mode is in some sense similar to solo-mode, but it leaves all other layers as semi-transparency. Should be useful for line art. Also you can change the transparency level of this mode at the right corner gear of Layer panel. It calls there - "highlight's opacity (for solo layers)" - Animation tool added. You can find options for this feature at Menu->Other->Animation Settings - Hierarchy guides — it's the Layer panel properties, for visual organization of layer panel. And will allow you to see a more clear hierarchy structure of layers and folders, especially in complex hierarchy. It also has a conjunction with layers colors. - Auto color folders — it's the Layer panel properties, will automatically generate colors for all folders and layers inside it structures. - Added ability to create unpaired quantity of the rays in the symmetry tool but only in asymmetric mode

The subsidiary brush now supports the texture, pile and GPU acceleration. With synchronization is on, the first brush has now become the main one (The "Position" synchronization parameter has been added that synchronizes brushes as accurately as possible regardless of Spacing and Stabilization) Note: Your previous double brushes have lost the sync and you will have to reconfigure them (that will not take much time though, since the corresponding button is provided for copying the parameters of the double brush) - Icons have been added to the Menu for each item as well as for displaying the hot keys - Masks are now redone in black and white mode - Custom forms and their folders can now be moved and sorted - "Add noise" option added to the brush circle stiffness settings - The gradient is now much smoother due to the addition of noise - Now you can change the radius of the villi for the bristle brush - Percentage added to image resize and canvas resize - Also this release is dedicated to improving ergonomics and fixing bugs.

Swap works by a click on the current layer / brush / texture) 3) Classic (As in Photoshop: Scrolling with scrollbar only, Swap works by a click on any layer / brush / texture) - The «space» now switches the fast scroll mode on (works in all three modes) - It has become much more convenient and predictable to work with groups of panels. - Erasers are now not tied to the second category. Now "E" will switch to the last selected eraser marked with the corresponding icon. - Individual layers and brushes colors can now be set through the context menu of the corresponding panel. - The "Select Lasso" tool has become much faster. - The minimum canvas size reduced to 8x8 pixels. - Over 50 minor bugs fixed.
