Feature art - ‘A Pond’ by Frances MacDonald, 1940.
HELLO! It’s been some time since the last (stable) version of Swanky Paint was released. If you didn’t know, we’re rolling out releases all the time under the ‘BETA’ opt-in so if you’re ok with experimental builds, join us and let’s squash some bugs together :}
We’ve done quite a big rehaul of the infrastructure under the hood. We fixed a bunch of bugs, the user interface has been spruced up to accommodate future features and we’ve streamlined current ones that were hidden before. You should find that things have been moved around quite a bit but they will make more sense under their allocated groupings.
The main new feature we’re excited about is the ULTIMATE UNDO.

Fans of Deluxe Paint should be familiar with the 1 undo of the past and we’ve honoured that tradition - until now.
The ULTIMATE UNDO remembers everything you do from the beginning of an artwork’s inception. It remembers even after you close the file and reopen it again! That's because the history is attached to the image and not the session.
But wait, there's more - you can also save the entire history of an image and export it as a GIF.
Yes, the ULTIMATE UNDO is the most ultimate undo ever conceived!!!!1111oneeleven
We’re able to do this because pixels are oh so very small and the file sizes are negligible. There is a soft limit of 64mb for each history save but you can increase it if you’re really hardcore.
We're posting videos of the new features you'll be seeing in the next version of Swanky Paint leading up to the official release party on the 4th of August, 2018 so see you next time!
