This update introduces overscroll, which is the ability to scroll the canvas past the bounds of the image. This has been a highly requested feature for several years now, and it’s finally here 🙂

Also included is a big serving of miscellaneous bug fixes and small improvements.

As usual, you can download the update directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now.
