After doing more work on importing SVG files it became apparent that the whole importer would have to be rewritten to better adhere to the SVG spec. This new version now handles all forms of geometry including arcs and quadratic bezier curves, in addition to <use> elements and gradients and clipping paths. It is also better at handling css. It’s still a work in progress but it is certainly an improvement over the original version.
The Mirror Node has also been improved. There are now multiple join modes which are as follows:
| Do not join | Do nothing |
| Join With Curve | Join the ends of the mirrored paths together with a curved span |
| Join With Line | Join the ends of the mirrored paths together with a straight span |
| Weld | Weld the end points of the mirrored paths together if they are within the weld tolerance |
| Weld & Join | If the end points are within the weld tolerance the points will be welded, otherwise they will be joined by a span. The span type will be the same as the last span being joined to. |
A new command has been added to the Layer menu, Explode Layer. Exploding a layer Deletes a layer, but keeps all the children of the layer.
