Multi-threaded Renderer and Improved Tools

This release features a multi-threaded layer renderer for improved performance, an option to erase source pixels for Snip tool for a more conventional editing experience, an option to move pixels to new layer for Pen and Path object and new options for Pattern Brush tool (color and emboss).

Improved Plug-ins, File Support and More

It also features an improved Animation Renderer plug-in with better performance and support for Motion JPEG. Improvements have been made to the file support for MNG (MNG-HC tags, frame delay) and Photoshop PSD file support (oversize handling), and HEIF file support now includes codec preference selection. Additional UNICODE ranges including Latin Extended-F have been added, and several bugs have been fixed.
