screenshot-fullwidth

Improvements

  • You can use the arrow keys to move a frame in steps of 1 pixel, holding down the Shift key moves it in steps of 10 pixels

  • Punctuation marks stay together with the preceding word and will not move to the next line

Fixes

  • Fixed issue where the animation sometimes blinked at the beginning or the end
  • Fixed issue where changing the width or height of a frame also caused an override on other properties

GraFx Studio

Version 0.117.1, using Studio SDK 0.117.0

rn_icon

Improvements

  • When applying a blend mode to a text frame you automatically go out of text edit mode (this way you can see the effect of the blend mode, because it is not applied while in text edit mode)
  • You can now easily download the JSON file of the template with a "Download doc" trigger in the debug panel

Fixes

  • Fixed issue with MacBook being detected as a mobile device, causing issues with frame handles
  • Fixed issue with opacity not being applied to fill and stroke for shapes
  • Fixed issue when using a swatch as fill color for shapes, which caused the shape color to not change immediately on the canvas when the swatch color is changed
  • Fixed issue with text not being selectable with the Text tool when a blend mode is applied to the text frame
Note for integrators

There is a minor breaking change in the Studio SDK's typings. It basically boils down to changing the import for the Id type, you can do it as follows:
Change import { Id } from '@chili-publish/studio-sdk/lib/types/CommonTypes'
To import { Id } from '@chili-publish/studio-sdk'
For more information, please check out the SDK release notes.

releasenotes

Improvements

  • You can select text on the page when the Text tool is active (previously it would create a new text frame instead)

  • Blend mode is not applied when in text edit mode (this makes editing text easier)
  • Internal optimization to significantly increase the performance or rendering frames on the canvas
