This release is an automatically generated snapshot of the current state of development. It is continuously updated with work-in-progress changes that may be broken, incomplete, or incompatible with other versions of Drawpile. For downloads, take a look at the Assets below.

Unless you really, really know what you're doing, pick the 64bit options. 32bit is probably not what you want unless you have a very strange device.

2.2.2-beta.4

Code signing policy: https://drawpile.net/codesigningpolicy/

• Fix: Solve rendering glitches with selection outlines that happen on some systems. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
• Feature: Allow scaling animation exports. Thanks Hopfel for animating across a giant canvas.
• Fix: Allow disabling the application proxy in the network preferences and automatically detect bad proxy configurations that can't actually make connections. Thanks FishEggsThe for reporting.
• Fix: Improve socket error messages, listing the error code and adding extra information on what to do if a proxy error occurs. Thanks FishEggsThe for reporting.
• Fix: Center soft brushes on the cursor better, they got offset to the top-left from correcting for size discontinuity before. Thanks Meiren for reporting.
• Fix: Don't mess up gridmap settings when opening brush settings dialog and initially changing a value in it. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Fix: Default "confirm action" to both the regular enter key as well as the one on the numpad. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Feature: Add settings button to color wheel, sliders and palette at the top-left of the dock. For the wheel, this allows changing the settings here now instead of having to go into the preferences. For the sliders, you can now toggle the color space here and decide whether to show all sliders and the hex input. For the palette, this just moves the menu button that used to be in the row below. Thanks MachKerman for suggesting.
• Feature: Allow aligning the color wheel to the top of the dock instead of the center. Can be toggled in the dock's menu. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Fix: Scale outer color wheel ring with the size of the widget. Thanks MorrowShore for reporting.
• Feature: Preview selected color on the color wheel. Can be toggled in the dock's menu. Thanks MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Fix: Allow pressing the numpad enter key to apply an action and Ctrl+Equal in addition to Ctrl+Plus to zoom in. Thanks MachKerman and Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Prevent artifacts around brush cursor when the canvas is rotated in software renderer mode. Thanks Sinamer for reporting.
• Fix: Don't consider the flood fill's own preview when filling the merged image. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Server Feature: Streamed autoresets that don't interrupt the session to bring it down to a smaller size, instead the compressed state is built up in the background and replaced on the fly.
• Fix: Make joining through a direct link not put the desktop client into single-session mode. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Work around Huion tablets emitting mouse clicks every few pen presses and causing full-pressure strokes to be started. Thanks Blozzom, DT and and Dumb Dog Disease for reporting.
• Feature: Toggle layer visibility action, available in the Layer menu. Mostly useful to let assign a keyboard shortcut to it. Thanks incoheart for suggesting.
• Feature: Remember ranges set for MyPaint brushes in the settings editor, rather than implicitly fitting them to the curve. Thanks Verdrusk for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Provide more session status information for administrators, such as the autoreset state.
• Feature: Allow importing MyPaint brushes in old version formats instead of saying they contain invalid JSON. Thanks bunnie for suggesting.
• Feature: Attach brushes to slots, showing which brush you selected and remembering changes to them. This attachment can be disabled in the tool preferences.
• Feature: Allow configuring the number of brush slots in the tool settings, from 1 to 9, in addition to the everpresent eraser slot. Thanks vipperz for suggesting.
• Fix: Clamp palette swatch sizes to more reasonable bounds. Thanks MachKerman for reporting.
• Server Feature: Allow checking session, operator and server account passwords via the API. This can be used to password-protect recordings or similar. Thanks Meru for contributing.
• Fix: Correct some UI scaling problems with brush outlines, canvas centering, dock toggling, pixel grid and transform handles. Thanks annoy for reporting.
• Feature: Extended touch tap gestures, among them two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo and tap-and-hold to summon the color picker. Can be configured in the preferences under the Touch tab. Thanks InconsolableCellist and many others for suggesting.
• Feature: Snap canvas rotation around 0° by default. If you don't want this, you can set the canvas shortcut or touch rotation to "free rotate canvas" instead.
• Feature: Show a color preview when picking a color from the canvas. Can be toggled in the tool preferences.
• Fix: In layer view mode, render the layer truly in isolation instead of applying opacities, visibilities or alpha preserve to it. Thanks MachKerman and incoheart for reporting.
• Feature: Add Layer > Group View to show the parent group of the current layer in isolation. Thanks Rylan for suggesting.
• Fix: Save and export images according to the current view mode. Thanks incoheart for reporting.
• Server Fix: Don't get announcement refreshes stuck in an infinite loop. Thanks Meru for reporting.
• Fix: Make MyPaint brushes not ignore the first stroke made with them. This would also sometimes lead to a blank preview.
• Feature: Allow choosing between a round and square expansion/shrinking kernel in flood fill, magic wand and when altering a selection. The latter is particularly useful for pixel art. Thanks Bigcheese and MorrowShore for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't ignore double-clicks when toggling layer visibility or check state. Thanks Chryssabliss for reporting.
• Feature: Put all shortcuts onto a single settings page, showing conflicts between them better. Allow searching for shortcuts by name and keybinding, as well as filtering out only conflicts. Thanks MajorCooke for suggesting parts of this.
• Feature: Allow assigning keyboard shortcuts to brushes. Assigning the same shortcut to multiple brushes will toggle through them. Thanks annoy for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Integrate with systemd watchdog.
• Fix: Make user interface scaling not round to multiple of 100% anymore. Thanks blau, Buch, Chryssabliss and ShotgunnerFox for reporting.
• Fix: Don't use system message boxes on Android, since they behave in various broken and nonsensical ways, like showing you a yes button three times. Thanks Hopfel for reporting.
• Feature: Use hardware renderer on Android by default.
• Fix: Don't unnecessarily scale full-canvas animations by a single pixel.
• Feature: Replace GIF export with ffmpeg's libraries, since they are also used for videos. It's way faster, generates much better palettes and supports transparent backgrounds. Thanks dAVePAGE and JJ for reporting issues in this regard.
• Fix: Constrain aspect ratio of transform scaling properly, it was getting offset by the distance between the clicked point and the actual corner. Thanks Blozzom for reporting.
• Feature: Allow configuring flood fill preview and confirmation behavior, defaulting to the simplest mode similar to single-user software, but still previewing fills locally first. The magic wand always works this way for now, since selections are local only anyway.
• Feature: Show resize dialog when expanding canvas, to avoid accidental resizes and improve performance by doing the expansions all in one step. The keyboard shortcuts to expand the canvas work in this dialog now and also auto-repeat if you hold them down. Thanks Bluestrings and tobiasBora for suggesting things in this regard.
• Fix: Indicate denied permissions by showing a message to that effect, rather than just disabling the actions and leaving you guessing. Thanks Venesio for reporting.
• Fix: Clicking off of an annotation will no longer instantly create a new one in that spot. It will instead only deselect the annotation that was selected.
• Fix: The Delete Empty Annotations can now be undone without undoing what happened before it as well.
• Feature: Empty annotations are now automatically deleted when you deselect them, to avoid the common clutter of stray empty annotations across the canvas. If you really did want an empty annotation, you can hit undo and it will return.
• Server Feature: Setting a minimum protocol version of dp:4.24.0 now tells clients that they're using a Drawpile version too old for this server, rather than leaving them sitting at a session list where they can join no sessions.
• Feature: Allow clicking and dragging the fill and magic wand tools to adjust the tolerance.
• Fix: Make mouse click canvas shortcuts not override key canvas shortcuts. Thanks incoheart for reporting.
• Server Feature: Always allow server admins, moderators and users with the new PERSIST flag to toggle session persistence. The global persistence setting still allows anyone to toggle this. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Allow admins to specify a linger time for empty sessions, which will let even non-persistent sessions live on for that time to allow people a chance to reconnect.
• Server Feature: Add API endpoints to get and create session listings. Thanks Meru for contributing.
• Fix: Make login dialog not spill off-screen on mobile devices.

2.2.2-beta.3

• Fix: Use more accurate timers for performance profiles if the platform supports it.
• Fix: Don't try to update the roles list before becoming an operator, which could lead to a crash. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Don't update sessions that were just added to the session browser, since that can lead to a crash because of what is probably a bug in Qt's filtering and sorting. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Turn too large transforms into cut and paste operations instead of cancelling them outright.
• Fix: Make frame import not create a track with an invalid ID that messes up the UI. Thanks BulletPepper and greendyno for reporting.

2.2.2-beta.2

• Feature: Allow choosing a different cursor for erase and alpha locked brushes. Thanks Hipofiz and Rylan for suggesting.
• Server Fix: Properly sever connections on read, write and timeout errors.
• Fix: Load annotations from ORA files saved by Drawpile 2.1 properly. Thanks RyanMolyneux for reporting.
• Feature: Ignore inputs with invalid pressure during strokes. Thanks Lunalatte for reporting.
• Server Fix: Handle sessions running out of space better, they should no longer end up in an unrecoverable state. The messages in chat are also now translatable, more informative and don't get spammed for every command. Thanks Bluestrings and Charmandrigo for reporting.
• Feature: Lock canvas when the session is out of space, showing an appropriate message in the corner, rather than letting you continue drawing. The server needs to be updated for this to be available.
• Server Fix: Make catchup not take pointlessly long when the session is out of space.
• Feature: Add a message to the reset dialog that you need to be an operator to reset the session, since it's not too clear why the button is disabled otherwise.
• Feature: Make fill source selection a set of buttons for merged image, merged without background and layer, using the dropdown only for the latter thereof. The checked button will be remembered. Thanks Blozzom, Bluestrings and Meru for suggesting.
• Feature: Default redo to both Ctrl+Y and Ctrl+Shift+Z on Windows, Linux and the browser. Thanks Crow for suggesting.
• Fix: Brighten up transparency checkerboard to be a bit easier on the eyes. Thanks Crow for suggesting.
• Server Feature: Allow registered users to replace themselves when rejoining a session, rather than telling them that their own name is in use. Avoids having to wait for their old self to time out if their internet flakes. Thanks Crow for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't fail server compilation when turning off webadmin or WebSockets. Thanks leegean for reporting.
• Fix: Save and load annotation vertical alignment to and from ORA files.
• Fix: Put a transparent background behind flat images, rather than using white. Thanks lungy for reporting.
• Fix: Make pasting images from Drawpile into other applications retain transparency on Windows. This is really a bug in those other programs, they pick the wrong format by default, but whatever. Thanks lungy for reporting.
• Feature: Allow configuring the transparency checkerboard colors in the user interface preferences. Thanks lungy for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't reselect and scroll back to default layer after interacting with the layer list by picking a layer or toggling visibility. Thanks MachKerman and Ben for reporting.
• Fix: Load PNGs even when they have corrupt checksums. Thanks xxxx for reporting.
• Feature: Allow copying multiple entries from the event log. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Feature: Allow toggling vertical sync in the user interface preferences. Default is off, because it can cause input lag.
• Feature: Web browser support for the client.
• Feature: New hardware and software canvas renderers. The hardware renderer is much faster than the old one, especially in the browser. Uses Direct3D on Windows, WebGL in the browser and OpenGL on all other platforms. The software renderer is slightly faster than the old one, useful for cursed hardware or drivers that cause input lag or visual glitches. This is an experimental feature and can be enabled in the General preferences under Renderer.
• Feature: Add system information dialog under Tools > Developer Tools > System Information.
• Feature: Hide user pointers when they get close to your cursor. Can be toggled under View > User Pointers > Hide From Cursor. Thanks Crowley for suggesting.

• Fix: Focus existing layer properties dialog if one exists for the layer that properties are requested for.
• Feature: Name layers after the username of the creator by default.
• Fix: Don't use bilinear interpolation when selection is only moved, rotated by a multiple of 90 degrees, flipped or mirrored, to avoid unnecessary blurring. Thanks lungy for reporting.
• Feature: Don't require restarting the application when changing kinetic scrolling settings.
• Fix: Change default canvas size to 2000x2000, because 800x600 is a bit outdated. Thanks MorrowShore for for contributing.
• Feature: Don't require restarting the application to switch between desktop and small screen mode. There's also a "dynamic" option now, which will change the mode based on the size of the window, enabled by default on Android and in the browser.
• Feature: Pan or "hand" tool. Lets you move the canvas around by clicking. Thanks DeeJii for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't move view position when pressing side buttons in small screen mode.
• Feature: Show a proper explanation when you can't join a session.

• Feature: Add -U/--uncensor parameter to drawpile-timelapse to allow revealing censored layers.
• Fix: Reduce contrast on censor tile stripes to make them less annoying to look at.
• Server Feature: When you pass an option that's not compiled in, the error message will not inform you of that fact, rather than just saying you passed an unknown option with no further information.
• Feature: On Windows and Linux, new windows now open in a separate process, since that's more efficient and resilient. Can be disabled by setting the DRAWPILE_SINGLE_PROCESS environment variable. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
• Fix: The main window should now properly restore to its previous position even when that's on a secondary screen. Thanks Moe for reporting.
• Removed Feature: Roomcodes. They are a vestige from a time where Drawpile only had a single, central listing server. Nowadays nobody uses these anymore, invite links are the replacement.
• Feature: Disable global smoothing for mouse drawing by default, since that really only make sense for tablets and touch. Can be toggled in the input preferences. Thanks nililfin for suggesting.
• Feature: Always show drawing tools toolbar in small screen mode. Thanks Blozzom for suggesting.
• Fix: Increase contrast on depressed buttons in dark themes. This is a patch to Qt. Thanks MorrowShore for reporting.
• Fix: Switch out the icon for the extension buttons on squashed menus and toolbars so that they're actually visible in dark themes. This is a patch to Qt.
• Feature: Make canvas zoom slider use the same increments as the mouse wheel and zoom in/out actions, since stepping by 1% is not useful. Thanks zheida for suggesting.
• Fix: Work around a crash on Linux that happens when hosting with busted versions of Qt 6.6+. Thanks Vanska for reporting.
• Fix: Allow tabbing the main window on macOS again, for some reason Qt disabled it. This is a patch to Qt. Thanks mira for reporting.
• Feature: Pixel ruler, available under View > Show Rulers. Thanks fluttershydev for contributing.

• Feature: Translate links copied out of the browser version of Drawpile into something that can be joined when they are pasted into the join page.
• Feature: Better small-screen mode handling. The toggle items now no longer overlap, dialogs get maximized if appropriate, the start and settings dialogs get arranged horizontally.
• Feature: Rework selections and transforms entirely. They're now distinct operations. Selections participate in the undo stack.
• Feature: Allow toggling between accurate and fast transform previews. The former is the current kind of preview that actually gets previewed on the layer, the latter is like in Drawpile 2.1, where it's just a vector image drawn on top of everything.
• Feature: Allow picking blend modes and opacity when pasting, stamping and transforming. Thanks blurymind for suggesting.
• Feature: Show layouts action in dock menus. Thanks Elisa for suggesting.
• Fix: Set TCP_NODELAY on sockets to reduce unnecessary latency.
• Feature: Build option -DPROXY_STYLE=ON to fix the bad contrast in dark themes when not building a patched version of Qt yourself.

• Fix: Make canvas lock and layers not lock tools that don't actually act on them.
• Feature: Allow transforming multiple layers at once.
• Feature: Make creating a key frame layer copy the layer structure of the closest frame if that's assigned to a layer group. Thanks Ausjamcian for suggesting.
• Fix: Don't overwrite last file on save after resetting the canvas to an external image. Thanks Bluestrings for reporting.
• Fix: Ignore bogus mouse clicks emitted by some tablets after briefly tapping the pen on them. Thanks Ausjamcian for reporting.
• Fix: Make the window fit itself to the screen harder in the browser and on Android. There's also an option under View -> Fit to Screen now to manually force it to do so. Thanks Sidca for reporting and Meru for testing.
• Feature: Allow importing animation frames from multiple files and as layers from PSD files, to be found under File ...

2.2.2-beta.1
