This update is a slightly larger update with a bunch of new features and improvements, as well as the usual batch of fixes and smaller improvements. Most notably perhaps it improves text layers to allow multi-line texts and adds a very convenient secondary change to the Apply Function node that lets you apply to different transformations to elements using the same function.
Changes and improvements
– Added secondary change parameter to the Apply Function and Repeat Function nodes, allowing you to apply two changes using the same function.
– Added support for multi-line text in text layers.
– The Repeat Function now allows applying all the same change types as the Apply Function instead of just basic transforms.
– Changed value function Noise to get better range distribution, and adds an exponent parameter to allow adjusting the noise value distribution. Note: this will change the output generated by nodes using Noise function.
– The function graphs now show multiple function graphs when representing multiple different selected function parameters.
– Added a new shortcut button to add a node between two nodes in the layer node sequence.
– Made Repeat Area the primary grid repeater tool.
– UI performance optimizations.
– Changed a couple of node default parameter settings to produce nicer results.
– Turn off auto-center pivot option when converting shapes to free form path layers.
– Added new setting to open a new blank document at startup or not.
– The home screen (shown when no documents are open) now shows a list of recently opened documents.
Bug fixes
– Correctly handle negative index offsets in Apply Function node.
– Fix node “Apply to” mode sub-parameters not always being shown when appropriate.
– Fix apply change scale range parameters mirroring around 0 instead of 1 when set to mirror.
– Fix some cases of svg export text elements being misaligned.
– Correctly outline elements affected by edited nodes when multiple layer nodes are edited simultaneously due to multi-selection.
