What's New in ClayTrace
1.3.0
July 15, 2026
Your Studio has been reorganized: ideas no longer get mixed in with active pieces, and you can browse by stage or recent activity. Library now includes a photo grid, clearer removable filters, and a smoother experience for comparing pieces and tracing materials back to results. Process records are more true to the studio: decoration and glaze are easier to tell apart, and firing no longer marks a piece finished automatically. Event definitions are available when you need them, and stage photos can open full-screen with pinch-to-zoom.
