continuous alpha

This "alpha" release is an automatically generated snapshot of the current state of development. It is continuously updated with work-in-progress changes that may be broken, incomplete, or incompatible with other versions of Drawpile. For downloads, take a look at the Assets below.

Unless you really, really know what you're doing, pick the 64bit options. 32bit is probably not what you want unless you have a very strange device.

2.3.0

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Don't show "exit layer view" notice when there's no canvas.
• Fix: Properly remove the "unsaved changes" marker when saving to DPCS.
• Feature: Add crop to selection action in the selection menu. Not any different to the resize canvas action, but there for discoverability.
• Feature: Allow using stabilizer and smoothing with lasso select tool.
• Fix: Don't remember interpolation mode on transform tool, since it's too easy to mess up art from having a stale mode set.
• Fix: Make mipmap usage in hardware renderer configurable, since it causes performance issues with some graphics cards or drivers. Defaults to off. Thanks Bluestrings and Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Make setting the hue slider to 359 in HSL space not turn out gray. Thanks BornIncompetence for reporting.
• Fix: Make sliders not show a text selection cursor on Android when they're not in edit mode.
• Fix: Make layer list items not show a text selection cursor on Android.
• Fix: Correctly calculate the distance to move before a press is no longer considered a long-press. The calculation ended up with incorectly small values in most cases.
• Fix: Improve long-press handling for context menus to act more like a real right-click would.
• Fix: Don't delay long-presses by left-click or touch kinetic scrolling.
• Feature: Add touch draw pressure settings, because apparently some screen tablets on Android use touch inputs instead of stylus ones. Thanks SurgeonTaco for suggesting.
• Fix: Make dragging a layer onto its own canvas not paste its contents. Dragging layers between different windows is still possible. Thanks Blozzom and Pepper for reporting.
• Server Fix: Don't claim that dprec templates are incompatible when they're not.
• Fix: Make the "alpha lock layer for you" a buttton in the layer dock, rather than having it in the lock menu. Otherwise the inherit alpha button is too confusing to people not used to that feature existing. Thanks Phoneme for reporting.
• Feature: Add extra thickness to the color sampling ring in the area where the colors meet to give better visibility of the comparison. Thanks tiar for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow toggling color sampling ring in the color picker tool settings.
• Fix: Only add actually picked colors to the color picker history, not every color hovered over along the way.
• Fix: Make opening settings dialog not exit fullscreen on Android.
• Fix: On Android devices with a screen large enough to show a full desktop UI, dialogs no longer get full-screened by default. The start and settings dialogs also no longer use their vertical design meant for tiny screens. Thanks tiar for reporting.
• Fix: Replace some symbols in messages that don't show up properly on Android with equivalent ones that do.
• Fix: Default MyPaint brushes to use synchronized smudging, since many of them only work properly with it turned on.
• Fix: Select proper file type and remove the extension on the name input field when saving on Android and the browser.
• Fix: Make color picker color dialog use the current foreground color when manually adding a color. Thanks Phoneme for reporting.
• Fix: Show an error message on Linux under Wayland when attempting to pick a color from the screen with a hint to use Xorg instead. Thanks Meru and Phoneme for reporting.
• Fix: Remove pick from screen button in the browser, since it doesn't work there.
• Fix: Don't enter fullscreen in the browser when reopening the main window. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Skip the username selection when reconnecting to a session in the browser using a drawpile.net account. It now automatically picks the same username again as it does on other platforms.
• Fix: Remember local state when reconnecting, such as layer/track visibility, sketch mode, alpha lock, view mode etc. Thanks Bluestrings and hpar for reporting.
• Removed Feature: Migration of settings from very old versions of Drawpile. That code no longer works properly, but it's doubtful anyone would want to port their settings from a 2017 version of Drawpile anyway.
• Fix: Make keyboards like GBoard not eat all your hardware keyboard shortcuts after editing text once. This is a patch to Qt. Thanks justanotatest for reporting.
• Fix: Unfocus chat when collapsing it so that you don't continue typing into it while it's gone.
• Fix: Fall back to the application storage on Android when proper storage is unavailable. This is a patch to Qt. Thanks Sherb for reporting.
• Fix: Use different zoom levels for hardware and software renderers, depending on which ones work better in the respective modes.
• Fix: Default hardware renderer to single-buffering, since the system default buffering can add an immense amount of input lag.
• Feature: Three new layout presets under View → Layouts. Thanks Ausjamcian, lambda20xx and Scruff for providing them.
• Feature: Several new brush presets in the Drawpile tag. Thanks Annoy, Blozzom and lambda20xx for providing them.
• Fix: Properly disable the save as ORA/DPCS actions while another save is going.
• Fix: Don't process brush dabs that are invisible due to being infinitesimally tiny, fully transparent or infinitely soft (as opposed to only skipping their processing when they fulfilled all three criteria.) Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
  2025-10-18 Version 2.3.0-beta.4
• Fix: Unpremultiply alpha values when exporting to animated WEBP so that partially transparent pixels come out looking correct.
• Fix: Make the preferences menu item on macOS open the preferences again.
• Fix: Make mouse wheel to adjust brush sizes not skip over small values on wheels that make big steps. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Make zoom tool detect clicks properly, rather than detecting tiny motions as a rectangle to zoom into. Thanks Scruff for reporting.
• Fix: Make freehand tool icon appear again if starting up with the eraser selected. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Make software renderers handle canvas sizes with dimensions beyond 32767 pixels properly. Thanks Ben for reporting.
• Fix: Open ORA files with width or height greater than 32767 pixels. Thanks Nimono for reporting.
• Feature: Make true /roll messages in chat have a blue tint to make cheating more difficult. They're also translatable now, rather than always being in English. Thanks KosmonautKat, lambda20xx and Potete for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow "blocking" of layers. It works like censoring a layer, but the censor is only visible to you. It lets you hide stuff you don't want to see, but still be aware that it's there so you don't draw over other people's art.
• Fix: Make layer clipping onto pass-through groups work the same as it does in other programs (that is, make it not clip.)
• Feature: Anti-overflow fill for brushes. Thanks Ausjamcian, Axocrat and Null for suggesting.
• Feature: Exit Drawpile when the last window is closed on macOS, like on all other systems. You can reenable this behavior in the user interface preferences if you want it back.
• Fix: Make clicking with touchpad not trigger touch color picker.
• Fix: Properly enable or disable session permission boxes and sliders according to compatibility mode and operator status.
• Fix: Make key frame visibility attributes work properly in compatibility mode.
• Server Feature: Fast reconnects. Clients now remember the state of the history when they got disconnected and skip ahead in the catchup sequence if possible. Thanks Bluestrings for testing.
• Server Fix: Don't restrict binary (.dprec) templates to the current version.
• Fix: Disable native message boxes, they're broken on macOS Tahoe and don't add anything except an inconsistent appearance.
• Fix: Make start, login, invite and numerous other dialogs have proper title bars on macOS, rather than being those weird sheets. Thanks Axocrat for reporting.
• Fix: Don't show duplicate full screen action in view menu on macOS.
• Fix: Make window maximized when leaving full screen on macOS, rather than crumpling it down to a small size and messing up the docks arrangement.
• Feature: Allow closing modal dialogs on macOS using Command+Q. Thanks Axocrat for suggesting.
• Feature: Increase/decrease key frame exposure actions for all visible tracks, bound to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Plus/Minus by default. This lets you shift frames on multiple frames at once, rather than having to move each track individually.
• Removed Server Feature: Socket activation. Attempting to pass sockets via systemd now just raises an error and tells you to uninstall drawpile-srv.socket. This was a pretty obscure feature that apparently wasn't working properly anyway and only ever seems to get used unintentionally. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Binary interpolation mode for transforms. Works like Bilinear, but tries to keep the opacity of pixels the same so that you can scale stuff drawn with a binary brush without making it all blurry. Thanks TGS for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly reconnect to sessions when using an invite code, rather than asking for a password the second time around.
• Fix: Properly reconnect when using a WebSocket URL, rather than replacing the path inappropriately.
• Fix: Don't incorrectly redo already gone undone commands after a series of undos and redos. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Feature: Don't ask for login method, username and password again when reconnecting. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Feature: Don't show chat until connecting to a session and remember the size of it even when it was hidden.
• Feature: Send button in chat, for virtual keyboards where hitting return is inconvenient.
• Feature: Make drawpile-timelapse command-line tool fill the background with the canvas background color instead of black.
• Server Fix: Apply archive and size limit setting immediately, not only when a session is started.
• Server Feature: Allow toggling archive mode on individual sess...

• Feature: Send button in chat, for virtual keyboards where hitting return is inconvenient.
• Feature: Make drawpile-timelapse command-line tool fill the background with the canvas background color instead of black.
• Server Fix: Apply archive and size limit setting immediately, not only when a session is started.
• Server Feature: Allow toggling archive mode on individual sessions instead of using server default. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Server Fix: Properly treat autoreset threshold with zero value as no autoreset.
• Server Feature: Add server setting for a minimum autoreset threshold, to avoid users setting it to a too low value and causing excessive resets. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Allow overriding session size limit for individual sessions. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly check for session reset size so that oversized resets don't end up in disconnects.
• Fix: Show a proper error message when a manual reset fails, rather than claiming that an auto-reset failed.
• Fix: Handle reordering of layers with large ids properly. This was only a problem in the UI, it does not cause desync. Thanks Bluesflying for reporting.
• Fix: Remove accessibility features, because they cause crashes on macOS and possibly also other operating systems even though Drawpile doesn't use them. This is a patch to Qt. Thanks kal^-^ for reporting.
• Feature: Long-press to open context menus. Enabled by default on Android and in the browser. Can be toggled in the user interface preferences.
• Fix: Make sliders less annoying: double-clicking now starts editing instead of clicking and holding, hitting Escape now unfocuses the slider and sliders now no longer block shortcuts keys that wouldn't have any effect on them. Thanks Blozzom and incoheart for reporting.
• Fix: Make drawpile-cmd actually write to stdout when passing "-" as the output file, like the help claims. Thanks incoheart for reporting.
• Feature: Higher-quality zoom using the hardware renderer. Thanks cromachina for contributing.
• Fix: Allow right-clicking on the lasso fill and gradient tools to cancel them even if right-click is bound to a canvas shortcut. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Feature: Allow for fractional framerates instead of only allowing whole numbers.
• Fix: Reset flipbook crop, speed nad frame range when a different canvas is loaded.
• Feature: Make the timeline use a frame range instead of always strictly constraining it from 1 to the maximum frame count and chomping away any frames beyond the end.
• Fix: Clear layer selection when selecting a blank frame. Thanks Pumpkin for reporting.
• Fix: Properly persist changes to blend, alpha preserve and erase modes when they're changed on the brush dock. Thanks cromachina for reporting.
• Fix: Don't disconnect brush shortcuts when changing other shortcuts. Thanks cromachina for reporting.
• Feature: Allow double-clicking on empty timeline frames to create key frames and on the header to edit the framerate and frame range. Thanks Greendyno for suggesting.
• Feature: Start blank canvases with a single timeline track pre-created, similar to how it works with layers.
• Feature: Allow joining sessions if there's only a minor protocol incompatibility. An outdated client like this won't handle any new features and therefore their canvas may desynchronize, so they can't reset or compress it.
• Feature: Make compiling Drawpile with WebSocket support mandatory. This avoids accidentally ending up with an application that's unable to connect to certain servers.
• Fix: Properly disable join button when an empty address is entered.
• Feature: Allow explicitly picking between WebSockets and TCP sockets in the join, browser and host pages of the start dialog.
• Feature: Prefer connecting via WebSockets, fall back to TCP if it fails or takes too long. Connections to localhost or IP addresses continue to use TCP by default. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Feature: Show connection socket type in the net status field in the bottom-right corner.
• Fix: Make deselect work on identity transforms. Previously it would cancel the transform, but not actually deselect.
• Feature: Selection and transform action bar. Shows up when a selection or transform is active to give quick access to common operations, such as deselecting or applying the transform. Thanks CosmosX007 and Geese for suggesting, Blozzom for testing.
• Feature: Add buttons to the lock notice to unlock the canvas, reset the session when it's out of space or uncensor layers. Thanks Phoneme for suggesting.
• Feature: Indicate whether a non-normal view mode is active and give a way to get out of it in the lock notice. Can be disabled in the user interface preferences. Thanks Geese for suggesting.
• Feature: Show lock message even when it doesn't affect the current tool (without actually locking anything.)
• Feature: Allow detaching the chat but keeping it on top of the main window or all other windows. Thanks Bluestrings and Blozzom for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly autoselect default layer on join. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Automatically switch to frame view mode when the animation timeline is sufficiently fiddled with.
• Fix: Make chat recognize user as operator even when they are for some rason not in the user list. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Properly restore chat size when reattaching.
• Fix: Properly save accounts on the web when asked when the server doesn't support browser authentication. Thanks Bluestrings and Evil Sonic for reporting.
• Fix: Don't hang when quickly switching tools while strokes with smudge sync are in progress. Thanks D'mitri for rep...

2.3.0-beta.3

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Allow putting labels on a blank brush thumbnail. Thanks hipofiz for reporting.
• Feature: Pixel art input for pixel brushes, turns off all smoothing and makes the inputs apply immediately. Thanks Ben, dAVePAGE and Nilifin for reporting.
• Fix: Remove alpha lock and erase toggle buttons when using the eraser tool.
• Fix: Disable the "modern" WASAPI audio backend, because on some devices it causes crashes in the depths of Windows, makes drag and drop stop working or other strange effects. Thanks Ben, CrustStuff, dAVePAGE and Momo for reporting various different incarnations of this problem.

2.3.0-beta.2

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Make start dialog not flicker briefly on some systems.
• Removed Feature: Use the same logo for the application, too distracting evidently.
• Fix: Make hosting session with a password work, it did not get picked up sometimes. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.

2.3.0-beta.1

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Removed Feature: Compatibility with the old 2.1 versions, which was originally released 6 years ago. 2.3 is compatible with 2.2 instead.
• Feature: Add Edit > Lightness/Darkness to Alpha action. Thanks Ben for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow switching annotation rendering between vector, smooth and pixel fonts. Thanks cvrsoiioo4 for suggesting.
• Feature: "Clip to layer below" toggle on layers, for people used to that way of alpha preserving. Will be loaded from and saved to PSD files.
• Fix: Change the dptxt recording format to use JSON to represent message bodies instead of a bespoke format that sometimes doesn't round-trip properly.
• Feature: "Inherit alpha" toggle on layers and "preserve alpha" toggle on tools, for people used to that way of alpha preserving from Krita. You can toggle automatic alpha preserverance in the user interface preferences. Thanks Bubble for testing.
• Feature: "Greater Density" blend mode, which will only draw where it will increase opacity. Works like "Greater" in Krita and "Compare Density" in CSP, minus the glitches when you use different colors. Thanks Annoy suggesting.
• Feature: "Marker" blend mode, which will only increase opacity, but always change the color. Works like the marker in SAI and sorta similar to "Alpha Darken" in Krita, minus the glitches for different colors again. Thanks cromachina for suggesting.
• Fix: Make indirect wash mode actually work like it's supposed to, without causing weird effects for soft brushes. The previous mode is now available as a separate paint mode.
• Feature: Bring back the indirect normal mode from Drawpile 2.1 as another paint mode option.
• Feature: Allow using blend modes with MyPaint brushes, rather than restricting them to normal, recolor and erase.
• Feature: Allow using MyPaint brush color dynamics in indirect mode.
• Feature: Remember who changed tiles across session resets and compressing the canvas. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting and callaa for originally implementing it before it fell off again for compatibility.
• Fix: Don't displace annotations when resizing the canvas to the left or top.
• Feature: Make the Shine (SAI) blend mode work exactly like in SAI, even with alpha preserve off. Thanks cromachina for providing the logic for this.
• Feature: Implement more blend modes: Vivid Light, Pin Light, Difference, Darker Color, Lighter Color, Shade (SAI), Shade/Shine (SAI), Burn (SAI), Dodge (SAI), Burn/Dodge (SAI), Hard Mix (SAI) and Difference (SAI). Thanks cromachina for providing the logic for the SAI blend modes.
• Feature: Increase maximum brush size to 1000. Session operators can limit this and the default limit for non-operators is 255. Thanks ariqhadiyan and TGS for suggesting.
• Fix: Make MyPaint brush outline more accurate to the actual maximum size of the brush (although it still can't account for crazier brushes.)
• Feature: Pigment blend mode, which allows for more realistic color mixing. Session operators can restrict this mode and by default it's only enabled for operators, since it's very performance-intensive. Thanks chaitae for suggesting, username and xxx for testing.
• Feature: Increase maximum layer count to 32767 per user, up from the previous 256. Operators can also now limit the layer count in the session settings. Thanks haxekhaex2 for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow drawing on selections via Selection → Draw on Selection.
• Feature: Allow changing the color of the selection mask via View → Set Selection Mask Color.
• Feature: Make selections mask brush strokes. Can be toggled via Selection → Mask Brush Strokes With Selection. Thanks Bluestrings for testing.
• Feature: Switch pixel compression algorithm to zstd, which is many times faster than the old gzip. Thanks Bonbli for suggesting a way to get better compression with this.
• Feature: Don't require paste permission for transforms that modify the opacity or blend mode.
• Feature: Allow alpha locking layers. This basically works the same as enabling alpha lock on the tool you're using, it's just there for people that are used to doing it this way from other programs.
• Feature: Allow locking layer properties to avoid accidentally changing e.g. the blend mode.
• Feature: Allow locking layer positions to avoid accidentally moving them. Thanks Athena for suggesting.
• Feature: Increase canvas size limit to up to 1 million pixels as long as the total canvas size doesn't exceed 1073676289 pixels (32767 squared). Previously each dimension was limited to 32767 instead. Thanks johannesCmayer and yvantot for suggesting and MajorCooke for testing.
• Feature: A Drawpile 2.2 compatibility mode, allowing you to join sessions hosted with the previous version. Thanks lambda20xx for testing.
• Feature: Add shortcuts that switch tools and deselect in a single action. Thanks Bonbli for suggesting.
• Feature: New .dpcs canvas file format that's much faster and in most cases also leads to smaller sizes. Thanks Bonbli for suggesting an optimization to this; CosmosX007, Fanshen and hpar for reporting issues.
• Feature: A gradient tool, which works inside of selections. Thanks ChristianJohnsten, lambda20x, Malrn and Maffi for suggesting.
• Feature: Preview brushes with fixed X and Y offsets with an offset outline. Thanks Phoneme for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't mark the canvas as having unsaved changes from just making a selection on it. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Fix: Don't include credentials in the URL when opening a new window on reconnect, they're only for use in the same window. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Fix: Save and restore smudge minimum value properly instead of resetting it to zero.
• Feature: Add jitter setting for classic brushes, available in the brush settings. This setting offsets the dabs from the center of the stroke, useful for pencil, charcoal or spraycan brushes.
• Feature: Show the time it took to open, save and export files in the status bar.
• Fix: Don't disconnect when receiving an unknown message from user 0. Thanks Blozzom and unsername for reporting.
• Fix: Compensate jagged curves in when using the lasso select tool. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Feature: Make arrow keys navigate the animation timeline when it has focus. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Feature: Add support for opening and exporting images in Quite Okay Image Format (QOI).
• Feature: Add -B/--background-color option to drawpile-timelapse command to set an override background color. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Feature: Add a "synchronize smudging" brush setting. This will make the brush stroke wait for itself before smudging, which is slower, but required for some smudge brushes to work properly when making fast strokes. Thanks Donatello and xxxx for reporting.
• Feature: Allow classic brushes to smudge with transparency. This can be toggled in the brush settings. The old mode now calls itself "blending" instead to be able to tell it apart. Thanks xxxx for suggesting and lambda20xx for testing.
• Feature: A lasso fill tool, bound to Shift+F by default. Thanks EvilKitty3, Fallen, Geese, MorrowShore and Juzeror for suggesting, Blozzom and Bonbli for suggesting additions to it.
• Feature: Allow pressing Escape (or whatever you bound "cancel action" to) to deselect. Can be disabled in the tool preferences. Thanks RannyBergamotte for suggesting.
• Feature: Upscale small animations by whole numbers to fill the flipbook view. Can be toggled using the zoom button at the bottom. Thanks Ian700ng for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly stop flood fills at selection boundaries. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Allow assigning keyboard shirtcuts to tool blend modes. Thanks Izzy and Meru for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't reattach detached brushes when switching slots. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Feature: Show tooltips of tool buttons immediately, so that you can tell better what they do without having to wait for them.
• Fix: Don't switch away from a detached brush when only right-clicking, just like it works when you disable brush detaching altogether. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Feature: Harmony swatches, showing color harmonies for the current color to make palettes or shade with. Can be enabled and configured through the hamburger by right-click menu on the color wheel. Thanks tiar for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't allow toggling toolbars in small screen mode, since they will just reappear again. Thanks CosmosX007 for reporting.
• Feature: Add View → Always Show Side/Bottom Toolbar actions to let you choose whether to always show those toolbars in small screen mode or only when something is folded out using the tabs on the side. Thanks CosmosX007 for suggesting.
• Fix: Add some space to the sides of the bottom toolbar in small-screen mode so that the undo and record buttons don't get eaten by rounded corners. Thanks March for reporting.
• Feature: Allow reordering and toggling which drawing tools are visible in the toolbar, via e.g. Tools → Configure drawing toolbar. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Feature: Add OKLAB blend mode for layers and brushes. Thanks Bonbli for contributing.
• Fix: Detect eraser pen tip on Android, since the eraser doesn't report it's in proximity until it hits the surface, similar to the browser. Thanks CosmosX007 for reporting.
• Feature: Auto-correct attempts to host on http(s) sites by extracting the host portion from them. Thanks Charmandrigo for suggesting.
• Feature: Add shortcuts to change brush opacity and hardness. Thanks justanotatest for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow defining a separate pressure curve for the stylus eraser tip in the tablet preferences. Thanks CosmosX007 for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow turning off system file dialogs on Windows, in case they somehow cause trouble. Thanks CrustStuff for suggesting.
• Fix: Remember loops field in animation export dialog during...

2.2.2

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Make annotations not cause glitches when moving them around when using the software renderer. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Feature: Add -u/--users parameter to dprectool, which will print out a table of user statistics along with names and ids.
• Feature: Add --include-user-ids parameter to dprectool, allowing to pass a comma-separated list of user ids to only include visual changes from.
• Fix: Work around WebKit bug 284752 that prevents Drawpile from working on Safari 18. Thanks grimsley for reporting.
• Fix: Correct weird letter spacing in the font rendering on Windows. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Feature: Make reset images a bit smaller and much faster. This speeds up manual session resets, canvas compression, hosting and joins in the builtin server. Thanks mukihyena for reporting.
• Fix: Generate the catchup image in the background when hosting on the builtin server, rather than hanging the client. Thanks mukihyena for reporting.
• Server Fix: Additional checks and logging to avoid and diagnose temporary failures in streamed resets. Thanks Will for reporting.
• Fix: Slightly delay restoring dock layouts after the window is resized to avoid a crash on macOS. Thanks Axocrat for reporting.
• Fix: Properly update the checkbox on View > Full Screen if the OS forces the application out of it. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Restore window maximized after exiting the application from full screen mode. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Only remember dock sizes when the window is maximized or full screen on operating systems where that's possible to tell. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Make tablet positions work on Cintiqs under Windows Ink with UI scaling and when it's not set to be the primary monitor. The old behavior is available via Edit > Tablet Driver > Windows Ink Non-Native, in case this breaks something else. Thanks Axocrat and Liz for reporting, Weenifer for reporting and testing, Maffi for reporting additional issues.
• Fix: Remove the "KisTablet" prefix from the tablet driver names in Windows, it's a technical name that doesn't add anything useful.
• Feature: Indicate when you have no layer selected so that it doesn't seem like you can draw but nothing happens.
• Server Fix: Remove browser users when a session's password is removed and the server only allows browsers in passworded sessions. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Server Feature: Add a separate permission for hosting via browser and whether to take this permission from ext-auth. This also fixes the issue where it would ask you to log in when trying to host from the browser, just to then tell you that you're not allowed to do so anyway. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Removed Feature: Username lists in external session announcements. They were never used.
• Fix: Show current tier in the layer permissions menu again. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Reduce selection outline resolution instead of punting to the blue selection mask when it gets too large. Thanks Meru, MorrowShore and Shane for reporting.
• Server Feature: Invite codes, allowing inviting people with revokable links that override regular session restrictions. Thanks Bluestrings and Liz for suggesting.
• Removed Feature: Toggling between web and direct links in the invite dialog. Drawpile will translate the web link if you paste it into the join dialog anyway, so the distinction was pointless.
• Fix: Change temporary tool switch setting text to say that only the primary shortcut will cause it. This was unintentional, but it's useful. Thanks 3rd_EFNO for reporting.
• Fix: Use proper background images in Windows installer instead of those ugly red discs. Thanks evilTriangle for reporting.
• Fix: Correct intermittent errors when connecting, reconnecting or otherwise opening a new main view in the browser that could hang the application.
• Feature: Allow hiding the color history swatches on individual color docks. Thanks Stickly for suggesting.

• Feature: Warn when an action will close a relevant window on Android and in the browser. Thanks 3rd_EFNO for suggesting.
• Fix: When enabling a dock and it gets put into a tab, that tab now gets activated.
• Feature: Show icons on dock tabs by default, rather than text that gets squashed. In desktop mode, this can be toggled via View > Docks > Show Icons on Tabs.
• Feature: Replace "hold shift to arrange" with View > Docks > Arrange Docks, which doesn't require a keyboard. Thanks 3rd_EFNO for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow configuring temporary tool switch hold time. Thanks 3rd_EFNO and pachuco for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly pass tilt and barrel rotation values to MyPaint brushes. Thanks MorrowShore for reporting.
• Feature: Tilt support on Android. Thanks MorrowShore and Verdrusk for suggesting.

• Fix: Make clicking and dragging fill and magic wand tools work at all zoom levels and drag speeds.
• Feature: Make the canvas resize dialog fit to a floating transform, if present. This allows you to paste an image larger than the canvas and then resize to fit. Thanks Meru for suggesting.
• Server Fix: Don't filter out feature access messages when loading session templates, so that permissions can actually get set properly from them.
• Feature: Add --pass/-p option to dprectool, to allow configuring which messages are passed through when converting. The default is to pass all messages through, rather than just messages relevant for the client.
• Server Feature: Treat invalid password and opword hashes in session templates as plain passwords. This still issues a warning, since those kinds of passwords should really be specified by prefixing them with "plain;".
• Server Fix: Make template sessions not appear with a blank title and settings when first joining them.
• Server Fix: Properly include web socket allowance in template session listings.
• Server Feature: Allow authOnly option in session templates.
• Server Fix: Allow joining a non-instantiated templated session via a direct link to its alias, rather than telling the user that the session isn't up.
• Server Fix: Properly start recordings for sessions instantiated from a template.
• Fix: Try to retain dock arrangements after resizing the window, the Windows on-screen keyboard squashing the application or rotating a device/monitor. They should no longer remain squished to a smaller size after resizing the window back. Thanks vipperz for reporting.
• Fix: Work around Android devices reporting way too huge motions when panning with two fingers. Thanks quandaledingle44 for reporting.
• Feature: Right-clicking outside of a transform now applies it. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow dragging selections to quickly move their contents without having to double-click to deselect and dragging the edge to move the selection itself without its contents. Thanks Blozzom, Lungy, MorrowShore, SadColor and Zheida for suggesting and testing.
• Fix: Don't mark the canvas as saved if it was only exported.

• Feature: Remember background color as well when using per-slot colors.
• Fix: Scroll to the brush in question when creating or overwriting one.
• Feature: Allow editing brush names, descriptions and thumbnails when using detached slots.
• Fix: Make next/previous brush and tag shortcuts work when using detached slots.
• Server Feature: Inform clients of session password changes so that they can update their invite links.
• Fix: Work around the web browser receiving messages while the application is handling messages already. This could cause nonsensical errors like "incompatible server" or "invalid state" or outright crashes during login.
• Server Feature: Allow filtering server logs via the web admin API. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Fix: Properly save background color of annotations in ORA files.
• Feature: Allow toggling a "sketch mode" on layers, which will change the opacity and/or tint the layer locally. The exact look of this can be configured in the layer properties. Thanks abrasivetroop and leandro2222 for suggesting.
• Feature: Use the sketch mode tinting for onion skins as well, since it gives better results when there's colored areas involved.
• Fix: Properly update rotation when choosing an angle from the drop-down in the status bar when the angle is fractionally off the chosen angle. Thanks annoy for reporting.
• Server Feature: Allow locking admin API sections to prevent changes on them, optionally with a password that needs to be entered to unlock them.
• Server Feature: Only treat WebSocket connections from browsers (based on the presence of an Origin header) as requiring extra permissions, to allow desktop and mobile clients to connect via WebSockets without being subjected to extra restrictions.
• Server Feature: Allow hosting passworded sessions via the browser if password-dependent sessions are enabled, rather than refusing hosting altogether.
• Server Feature: Allow restricting connections to the correct host name as passed with --local-host. Enabling this requires an updat...

2.2.2-beta.4

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Solve rendering glitches with selection outlines that happen on some systems. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
• Feature: Allow scaling animation exports. Thanks Hopfel for animating across a giant canvas.
• Fix: Allow disabling the application proxy in the network preferences and automatically detect bad proxy configurations that can't actually make connections. Thanks FishEggsThe for reporting.
• Fix: Improve socket error messages, listing the error code and adding extra information on what to do if a proxy error occurs. Thanks FishEggsThe for reporting.
• Fix: Center soft brushes on the cursor better, they got offset to the top-left from correcting for size discontinuity before. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Don't mess up gridmap settings when opening brush settings dialog and initially changing a value in it. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Fix: Default "confirm action" to both the regular enter key as well as the one on the numpad. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Feature: Add settings button to color wheel, sliders and palette at the top-left of the dock. For the wheel, this allows changing the settings here now instead of having to go into the preferences. For the sliders, you can now toggle the color space here and decide whether to show all sliders and the hex input. For the palette, this just moves the menu button that used to be in the row below. Thanks MachKerman for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow aligning the color wheel to the top of the dock instead of the center. Can be toggled in the dock's menu. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Fix: Scale outer color wheel ring with the size of the widget. Thanks MorrowShore for reporting.
• Feature: Preview selected color on the color wheel. Can be toggled in the dock's menu. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.

• Fix: Prevent artifacts around brush cursor when the canvas is rotated in software renderer mode. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Don't consider the flood fill's own preview when filling the merged image. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Server Feature: Streamed autoresets that don't interrupt the session to bring it down to a smaller size, instead the compressed state is built up in the background and replaced on the fly.
• Fix: Make joining through a direct link not put the desktop client into single-session mode. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Work around Huion tablets emitting mouse clicks every few pen presses and causing full-pressure strokes to be started. Thanks Blozzom, DT and and Dumb Dog Disease for reporting.
• Feature: Toggle layer visibility action, available in the Layer menu. Mostly useful to let assign a keyboard shortcut to it. Thanks incoheart for suggesting.
• Feature: Remember ranges set for MyPaint brushes in the settings editor, rather than implicitly fitting them to the curve. Thanks Verdrusk for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Provide more session status information for administrators, such as the autoreset state.
• Feature: Allow importing MyPaint brushes in old version formats instead of saying they contain invalid JSON. Thanks bunnie for suggesting.
• Feature: Attach brushes to slots, showing which brush you selected and remembering changes to them. This attachment can be disabled in the tool preferences.
• Feature: Allow configuring the number of brush slots in the tool settings, from 1 to 9, in addition to the everpresent eraser slot. Thanks vipperz for suggesting.
• Fix: Clamp palette swatch sizes to more reasonable bounds. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Server Feature: Allow checking session, operator and server account passwords via the API. This can be used to password-protect recordings or similar. Thanks Meru for contributing.
• Fix: Correct some UI scaling problems with brush outlines, canvas centering, dock toggling, pixel grid and transform handles. Thanks annoy for reporting.
• Feature: Extended touch tap gestures, among them two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo and tap-and-hold to summon the color picker. Can be configured in the preferences under the Touch tab. Thanks InconsolableCellist and many others for suggesting.
• Feature: Snap canvas rotation around 0° by default. If you don't want this, you can set the canvas shortcut or touch rotation to "free rotate canvas" instead.
• Feature: Show a color preview when picking a color from the canvas. Can be toggled in the tool preferences.
• Fix: In layer view mode, render the layer truly in isolation instead of applying opacities, visibilities or alpha preserve to it. Thanks MachKerman and incoheart for reporting.
• Feature: Add Layer > Group View to show the parent group of the current layer in isolation. Thanks Rylan for suggesting.
• Fix: Save and export images according to the current view mode. Thanks incoheart for reporting.
• Server Fix: Don't get announcement refreshes stuck in an infinite loop. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Fix: Make MyPaint brushes not ignore the first stroke made with them. This would also sometimes lead to a blank preview.
• Feature: Allow choosing between a round and square expansion/shrinking kernel in flood fill, magic wand and when altering a selection. The latter is particularly useful for pixel art. Thanks Bigcheese and MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't ignore double-clicks when toggling layer visibility or check state. Thanks Chryssabliss for reporting.
• Feature: Put all shortcuts onto a single settings page, showing conflicts between them better. Allow searching for shortcuts by name and keybinding, as well as filtering out only conflicts. Thanks MajorCooke for suggesting parts of this.
• Feature: Allow assigning keyboard shortcuts to brushes. Assigning the same shortcut to multiple brushes will toggle through them. Thanks annoy for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Integrate with systemd watchdog.
• Fix: Make user interface scaling not round to multiple of 100% anymore. Thanks blau, Buch, Chryssabliss and ShotgunnerFox for reporting.
• Fix: Don't use system message boxes on Android, since they behave in various broken and nonsensical ways, like showing you a yes button three times. Thanks Hopfel for reporting.
• Feature: Use hardware renderer on Android by default.
• Fix: Don't unnecessarily scale full-canvas animations by a single pixel.
• Feature: Replace GIF export with ffmpeg's libraries, since they are also used for videos. It's way faster, generates much better palettes and supports transparent backgrounds. Thanks dAVePAGE and JJ for reporting issues in this regard.
• Fix: Constrain aspect ratio of transform scaling properly, it was getting offset by the distance between the clicked point and the actual corner. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Feature: Allow configuring flood fill preview and confirmation behavior, defaulting to the simplest mode similar to single-user software, but still previewing fills locally first. The magic wand always works this way for now, since selections are local only anyway.
• Feature: Show resize dialog when expanding canvas, to avoid accidental resizes and improve performance by doing the expansions all in one step. The keyboard shortcuts to expand the canvas work in this dialog now and also auto-repeat if you hold them down. Thanks Bluestrings and tobiasBora for suggesting things in this regard.
• Fix: Indicate denied permissions by showing a message to that effect, rather than just disabling the actions and leaving you guessing. Thanks Venesio for reporting.
• Fix: Clicking off of an annotation will no longer instantly create a new one in that spot. It will instead only deselect the annotation that was selected.
• Fix: The Delete Empty Annotations can now be undone without undoing what happened before it as well.
• Feature: Empty annotations are now automatically deleted when you deselect them, to avoid the common clutter of stray empty annotations across the canvas. If you really did want an empty annotation, you can hit undo and it will return.
• Server Feature: Setting a minimum protocol version of dp:4.24.0 now tells clients that they're using a Drawpile version too old for this server, rather than leaving them sitting at a session list where they can join no sessions.
• Feature: Allow clicking and dragging the fill and magic wand tools to adjust the tolerance.
• Fix: Make mouse click canvas shortcuts not override key canvas shortcuts. Thanks incoheart for reporting.
• Server Feature: Always allow server admins, moderators and users with the new PERSIST flag to toggle session persistence. The global persistence setting still allows anyone to toggle this. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Allow admins to specify a linger time for empty sessions, which will let even non-persistent sessions live on for that time to allow people a chance to reconnect.
• Server Feature: Add API endpoints to get and create session listings. Thanks Meru for contributing.
• Fix: Make login dialog not spill off-screen on mobile devices.

2.2.2-beta.3

• Fix: Use more accurate timers for performance profiles if the platform supports it.
• Fix: Don't try to update the roles list before becoming an operator, which could lead to a crash. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Don't update sessions that were just added to the session browser, since that can lead to a crash because of what is probably a bug in Qt's filtering and sorting. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Turn too large transforms into cut and paste operations instead of cancelling them outright.
• Fix: Make frame import not create a track with an invalid ID that messes up the UI. Thanks BulletPepper and greendyno for reporting.
