This update adds a couple of new features and improvements. The first is the ability to use multiple paths to repeat along in the Path repeater. Just use a group layer with multiple paths as the connected Repetition path. This also helps with repeating along paths from imported SVGs that tend to be nested in group tags.
Next is a new repeater tool: The Circle Fan repeater tool. This actually just uses the Circle repeater node, like the regular Circle repeater tool. But with different settings used and a convenient initial tool drag handle to allow you to make arc circle fans of elements.
Finally, as the last more noticeable addition, the new Color Mix input node allows to get a color based on a mix between two input colors. This allows you to more easily assign gradual color changes based on values or indexes.
In addition to these new features the update contains the usual batch of bugfixes and smaller improvements that will hopefully make Paragraphic easier to work with, regardless of what you do with it. You can read the full list below.
Changes and improvements
– Multi-path support in Path repeater, allowing you repeat along groups of paths.

– Made overlay layer highlight outline shown on hover in layer list more noticable.
– Configuring document parameters, enabling min or max value limits now sets limits respecting current parameter value so it’s not changed.
