Changelog

User-visible changes in each release. Quiet infrastructure work is not listed.

  1. v0.14.0

    2026-08-29
    • Hold any tool key for a temporary switch (release to return), Esc returns to the pen, the eyedropper returns to the last color-using tool, Alt-eyedrop works with fill/gradient/eraser, and a floating selection now casts a shadow so commits are visible
    • Shift-selecting palette colors now picks the rectangle you see on the grid instead of an index run
    • Clarified the example agent prompts so they resolve unambiguously in any setup
    • Adding, renaming, and deleting tags is now undoable (bulk changes by AI agents revert in a single undo)
    • Agents can now read your currently selected drawing color — asks like "build a ramp from this color" work as-is
    • The Claude Code register command in Settings > AI Agent now uses --scope user, so the registration works from any folder
    • New "AI Agent" settings category — connection status, per-client registration, and copy-paste example prompts in one place (replaces the old Agent Connection dialog)
    • Added Flip Horizontal / Flip Vertical to the Edit menu (flips the selection in place when one exists)
    • Added PNG sequence and per-tag GIF export (File > Export PNG Sequence / Tag GIF…)
    • AI agents can now open, edit, and save multiple .ten files, and write PNG/GIF/sequence/spritesheet exports next to the document
    • The eyedropper can now pick colors from reference image windows.

  2. v0.13.0

    2026-08-21
    • Lay a reference window's image under your canvas with "Lay under the canvas" and draw over the translucent rough (move, scale, opacity, desaturate, show-in-front; placement is saved with the file). MCP gains ten_set_reference, so an AI agent can hand you a rough as an underlay and you decide the pixels.
    • Image import and paste now offer "Use as reference" — keep a reference picture in a floating window beside your canvas while you draw (move, zoom, rotate/flip, smooth-scaling toggle). Reference and preview windows are now saved into the .ten file and restored when you reopen it.

  3. v0.12.0

    2026-08-20
    • New "Isometric" settings category. The guide toggle, axis snap, and snap mode (auto/fixed) can now be changed right from the settings dialog.
    • Multi-selected palette colors can now be sorted from the right-click menu by hue, saturation, lightness, or opacity (plus reverse). The set of cells stays put — only the colors are re-dealt, and pixels and variants are untouched.
    • Paste images from the clipboard as a new layer with ⇧⌘V — files copied in Finder work too. The import dialog now auto-detects upscaled pixel art and proposes the scale that restores the original dot size.
    • You can now rotate right after selecting with the move tool — drag just outside a corner of the frame (where the cursor turns into a rotate arrow).
    • The angle can now be typed right after selecting with the move tool — typing starts rotating immediately. The properties panel heading is now a constant "Move & Transform" instead of changing with state.
    • Width and height can now be typed right after selecting with the move tool — typing starts scaling immediately. The properties panel is regrouped into Position / Size / Rotation, with the aspect-ratio lock next to W and H.
    • Mesh warp now supports moving several points together — drag on empty space to rubber-band select, ⇧-click to add or remove points from the selection.
    • The update dialog now reads properly — release notes are written for you, and no longer show raw markdown symbols.
