1.5 - Release Notes

This release is a significant update to Napkin – our biggest since launch. Version 1.5 includes many often requested major features and an updated visual style that is more at home on Yosemite. There are plenty of small fixes and enhancements as well.

You can now choose between a gradient or flat fill style for Shapes, as well as toggle between an outline and normal style. The thickness of Arrows can be adjusted and we have a new 'Flat Line' style that has no arrow head.

Napkin now has the ability to Crop images directly in Napkin so you no longer have to use another application to trim away the pieces you don't need. Finally be sure to check out the Blur and Pixelate redaction styles.

VERY IMPORTANT:

This update introduces changes to the Napkin document file format. The documents you create with the version 1.5 will not necessarily be fully compatible with previous versions of Napkin. Please be sure to make duplicates of any documents you still need to use in an older version.
