Release Notes
This release focuses on one huge new feature 🎉
Layers! 👏
@bobnik spawned this great new feature that allows you to intuitively compound other shapes and features into a single pattern, with the preview. Here are some things to notice:
- You can create new layers with the New button, Import button or the copy button.
- You can select a layer in the new layer area.
- You can change the order of the layers by dragging them in the layer area.
- You can still manipulate the layers with your mouse in the preview area, or with the options on the right.
- All the previous features, grow, spin, track are all there.
- A new "Point" feature was added to help connect-the-dots between patterns.
