I just released v2.7.2 (more on that below) but I realized that the update before that was way back in March. Besides the few bug fixes and small improvements that were just released, I&#8217;m hard at work on a whole new Transform panel. The big additions here will be the ability to &#8220;offset&#8221; curves &#8211; essentially grow or shrink a curve &#8211; which could help as the first step to making different font weights. This has been a request for a while, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/pomax.github.io\/bezierinfo\/#offsetting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">math behind offsetting a Bezier<\/a> curve is not very simple&#8230; it&#8217;s been an interesting deep dive back into some gnarly math. The other main new functionality I&#8217;ve been working on is Skew, which will help get started designing an Italic version of a font. The math for that is actually dead simple&#8230; so a little bit of easy stuff, and a little bit of challenging stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Transform panel will be released as v2.8 &#8211; in the mean time, I&#8217;ll still fix small bugs, like I just released for v2.7.2 &#8211; available now at <a href=\"http:\/\/glyphrstudio.com\/app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glyphrstudio.com\/app<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Version 2.7.2<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/glyphr-studio\/Glyphr-Studio-2\/releases\/edit\/v2.7.2\"><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bug fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fixed an edge case where having a certain panel selected caused page navigation to fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Combine: Subtract action now uses shape layer order to determine the &#8220;top&#8221; cutting shape, as opposed to the first shape selected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Characters with Unicode Code Points that map to unallocated space in Unicode can now be imported without error.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quality improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Item link thumbnails and Live Preview views now update better when Advance Width and the Pen tool are being used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Char Chips that show member characters of Kern Groups will now display with a Red \/ Warning color if that character does not exist in the project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the Pen tool, clicking and dragging the center of a straight line segment now moves the two points its connected to &#8211; previously &#8220;Curve Drag&#8221; only applied to curved line segments with one or two handles enabled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear about the latest v2.7.2 release, as well as some exciting news for what&#8217;s in store for v2.8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-release","category-retrospective","category-version-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":618,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions\/618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
