RELEASE NOTES
v.1.0.0
Planned release, December 2025This 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 on the Web, consider financially supporting it by getting the Android app.
Testing Build Changelog
Build 10011 (2025/12/14):
Fixes:
- Changing the pen colour while a pattern-filled stroke/shape is selected now properly recolors the selection
- The pattern palette also recolors itself when a new pen color is selected
- And, the colour history now contains the colours of pattern-filled strokes/shapes
Build 10010 (2025/12/12):
New Features:
- A colour history swatch has been added to the toolbar, which lets you quickly select previously-used colours.
- A selection of screen-tone pattern-fills are now available. This facility will be expanded-upon in the future.
- A "clear" button has been added to the underdrawing section in the SKRIBBLOR flap.
Changes:
- Underdrawings now auto-save with the SVG document.
- Some buttons have had their text replaced with icons to save screen space (eraser, eraser mode, file...)
- Hover/active button colours have been swapped
Fixes:
- Touch/stylus events no longer go "through" the colour picker to affect buttons beneath the swatches.
- Attempting to rename a layer with a number didn't work. It works now, but the number will be prefixed with an underscore. (Purely numeric layer (element) ids are not allowed in SVG.)
Build 10009 (2025/12/04):
Fix:
- The camera feature was deployed prematurely! Should be working now.
Build 10008 (2025/12/04):
Changes:
- New feature: you can now capture underdrawings from your device's camera(s)
- UI/Layout improvements for the SKRIBBLOR/canvas flap
Build 10006 (2025/12/02):
Changes:
- Layout changes to (hopefully) ensure that UI elements don't overlap or disappear for small screens or zoomed UIs.
Build 10005 (2025/11/30):
Fixes:
- The scale rotation label now resets when the transform gizmo is placed
- Polygon drawing stops/aborts when you select a new drawing mode
Changes:
- HTML export now styles the page to center the drawing
- HTML export also styles the page so that hyperlinks will have a "grab" cursor when hovered-over
- Right-clicking in polygon mode sets the last point and stops editing the polygon
Build 10004 (2025/11/30):
Two fixes:
- HTML export is fixed!
- Removed the purple dot at the centre of the transform gizmo.
Build 10003 (2025/11/29): Three fixes:
- The transform gizmo was backwards when the canvas was mirrored, and the gizmo was being cropped by the edges of the canvas. Both of these have been fixed.
- The blend-mode of the polygon being drawn is now "normal", as it should have been.
- Global keyboard shortcuts weren't working. They are now.
Build 10002 (2025/11/27):
Fixed issue where canvas "jumped" when clicking buttons.
Build 10001 (2025/11/27):
Initial testing build.
