RELEASE NOTES
v1.1.1
Another point release already? Yeah, well, I've been using SKRIBBLOR to work on some drawings, and all kinds of little issues are revealing themselves to me. So, I'm fixing the app as I go and this is a reasonably large bundle of features/fixes...
Build 10018 (2026/02/04)
New Features:
- The CONSTRAIN/SNAP toggle allows tablet users to do what keyboard users have been able to do all along: snap gizmo rotation to degrees, scale factor by tenths of a percent, and freehand/straight-edge lines to 90-degree angles.
- You can now export SVG files with their underdrawing embedded in them.
Fixes:
- A small convenience fix: file/layer names are selected/highlighted when exporting, creating new layers, etc.
- The canvas transparency toggle no longer shows as unchecked when the canvas is, in fact, transparent.
- Empty underdrawings were being auto-saved with the current document's URL as their "src". That's fixed.
- The width/height fields in the Canvas Size form are now populated after importing drawings.
- Underdrawings are now cleared when importing a drawing
- The ellipse tool was appearing in weird/random locations when summoned. It now appears at the centre of the screen.
v1.1.0
SKRIBBLOR 1.1 adds an ellipse tool to our drawing arsenal! See below for specifics about fixes and feature-adds in builds under the 1.1 umbrella.
Build 10017 (2026/02/02)
New Features:
- The ELLIPSE tool is here!
- The entire drawing can be repositioned on the canvas with the move tool in the SKRIBBLOR flap.
Fixes:
- The viewBox now resets properly when a new drawing is created.
- The issue where imported SVG files opened with their width/height set to '0' has been fixed.
- Long-presses on the transform and ellipse gizmos were triggering context menus in the Web/Chrome version. That's fixed.
- Changing layers while a section is active will de-activate the selection now.
v1.0.0
This is the initial public release of SKRIBBLOR, an SVG-based sketching/note-taking application. Features of this release are the core features of the app; namely:
- Four drawing modes: freehand stroke, freehand shape, straight-line, and polygon
- User-adjustable pen parameters with some handy presets
- An eraser tool
- A selection tool
- A free-transform tool (with adjustable scale axis)
- Layers, with opacity and the usual blend modes
- An underdrawing layer for placing sketches or reference images
- Export drawings to SVG, HTML and PNG
- Auto-save (the Web version is limited to auto-saving drawings of up to 5MB in size)
- X-LINK support for hyperlinks in SVG files
I'm sure it's full of undiscovered bugs, but it's pretty usable! All of the illustrations on the SKRIBBLOR Website have been done with the app, and I've already shipped illustrations to clients that have been done in the app as well.
If you want to know what features are coming up, head over to the roadmap page. And if you like using SKRIBBLOR, consider financially contributing via the widget on the support page.
Release Build Changelog
Build 10013 (2026/01/16)
- The eraser tool will now only kill the top-most item under the cursor with a click or a tap. If you drag the eraser more than a few pixels, it will begin aggressively killing everything that it passes over.
- Snapping scale values in the transform tool now works more smoothly, rather than locking/getting "stuck" while Shift is held.
- Drawing and erasing are now prevented when the currently-selected layer is hidden
- A notification appears on-screen when the user tries to draw/erase on a hidden layer
