VPaint 1.7 is now released!

January 8, 2020

Hi everyone!

Good news: VPaint 1.7 is now officially released :-) It can be downloaded at:

https://www.vpaint.org

New features since 1.6:

• Layers
• SVG Import
• Better support of HiDPI displays (e.g.. Mac Retina)

Release notes:

• Based on Qt 5.12.6.
• Unlike VPaint 1.6, only 64bit versions of Windows are supported.
• VPaint now uses QOpenGLWidget instead of the deprecated QGLWidget. This required to alter some parts of the OpenGL architecture, affecting performance and/or anti-aliasing. Depending on your system, this might be better than VPaint 1.6, or it might be worse, unfortunately :(
• The look of the view settings was harmonized between macOS and Linux/Windows.
• We now provide an AppImage for Linux! It was compiled on Ubuntu 16.04, so it should work on most recent Linux distros (but not on Ubuntu 15.10 or older).

• Thanks a lot for your patience! I will now be able to refocus on VGC :-)

Cheers,

Boris
