• Added setting to control right click behaviour when using the pen tool (#109).
• Fixed deployment of dynamically-built binaries on Linux (#112).

    Note that a current selection is required, as this greatly simplifies the code.

A huge thanks to @not-surt for the drawing patches and the introduction of a round brush!

Slate 0.4.2

• Fix crash on Mac.

This is a Mac-only patch release to fix a crash that prevents Slate from starting. The v0.4.0 release contains the latest binaries for Windows:

https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/releases/tag/v0.4.0

The v0.4.1 release contains the latest binaries for Linux:

https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/releases/tag/v0.4.1

Slate 0.4.1

• Fixed static builds on Linux (#71).
• Small documentation improvements.

This is a Linux-only release, as certain issues had been preventing Linux binaries from being created since v0.1.0. The v0.4.0 release contains the latest binaries for Mac and Windows:

https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/releases/tag/v0.4.0

Slate 0.4.0

• Added support for 90 degree rotation.
• Added logo/application icon.
• Added support for importing and exporting swatches (#82).
• Added flip horizontally + vertically tool buttons to tool bar.
• Added "About Slate" menu item.
• Improved documentation.
• Ensure that we prompt to discard changes before quitting on macOS.
• Increased width of non-native recent files menu so that it's possible to see more of the path.
• Only enable the "Show Grid" menu item for tileset projects (#80).
• Sped up pinch zooming on macOS.
• Fixed gap between panels after switching project types.
• Uppercased the S in executable name.

Slate 0.3.0

• Add support for swatches:
  • Added a regular, user-modifiable swatch.
  • Added auto swatches. This feature is experimental and can be enabled in the settings dialog.
    They are deduced from the image contents for convenience and cannot be modified.
    Auto swatches are calculated on a separate thread, so they will not block the UI.
• Switched build system to Qbs from qmake
  • This allows for faster build times, especially since
    there is now a dedicated library for slate's logic which both
    the app and tests use, rather than each project building those files on their own.
• Add tooltip to show value of opacity slider.
• Fixed crash when creating a new layer with moved selection. (#69)
• Fixed crash when opening tileset project with invalid tileset path (#70).
• Fix undo bug where the undo command would paint onto the wrong layer.
• Fixed opacity slider tooltip disappearing.
• Fix flipping images on transparent backgrounds.
• Fixed not being able to right click to select background colour with the colour picker. (#75)

Note that due to the build system changes, Linux binaries are not yet available. I'm working on getting it fixed but I don't know when it will be done. The issue is tracked with #71. Until then, the v0.1.0 release contains the latest binaries for Linux:

https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Slate 0.2.1

• Ensured that unchecking the "Enable gestures" option fully disables pinch zoom gestures.
