  • Features:
  • #541 Crop tool: select an area and use the CROP transform tool to resize sprites on the fly
  • #271 New piskel button for offline applications: it was difficult to work on several sprites at the same time for offline apps users. A '+' button was added to open a new piskel window.

  • #636 The grid can now be drawn (with custom colors) instead of being transparent

  • Bug Fixes & improvements:

  • #704 default window height for offline apps has been increased to display all the UI correctly
  • SHIFT + CLICK on UP/DOWN for a layer moves the layer to the top/bottom of the layer stack
  • new layers are added just before the selected layer. Before, new layers were always set in the first slot.
  • Development:
  • more integration tests, so less bugs in the future!
  • goodbye jslint+jscs, welcome eslint!

  • #687 Use "normal" NWJS builds for desktop apps -> smaller filesize, less likely to trigger warnings on AV software
  • #689 Fixed an issue preventing to load very old models (ie made before November 2013, so I'm pretty sure I was the only one impacted!)
  • (v0.11.1) Fixed a small templating bug on IE

  • the performance of the grid has been improved #369
  • shape select failing : #602
  • Performance and stability:
  • This release contains a lot of work focused around stability and performance improvements. The application should behave better during long sessions.
  • You will now see a performance warning if we detect that the specs of your sprite exceed Piskel typical comfort zone.
  • When saving to your gallery, we have a limit of 1MB. If this limit is reached, you will get an error message encouraging you tu use the .piskel file format
  • When saving to .piskel, the sprite will now be automatically chunked to let you save bigger sprites
  • Also added a lot of integration tests that should make it easier to catch regressions on the settings panel.
