INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS This release features the new Brush Engine 5.01 with tool overlays and independently rendered anchor points. This greatly improves rendering efficiency. DPI handling is fully based on floating point math, and the palette window supports oversize palettes with up to 1024 entries. USER EXPERIENCE This release uses a template-centric workflow for new project creation. To support this, there's an enhanced Hand tool that can perform basic actions. Layer selection uses fuzzy logic for a more natural feel, and you can print multiple copies per sheet (step & repeat) when printing small items FILE SUPPORT & BUG FIXES Support for Windows Clipboard files (.CLP) has been added and PCX file support now includes EGA palettes. Camera RAW file support has been updated and we now support Adobe ASE & ACO palette files.
