Latest Changes (Notes)

Internal Improvements

This release includes the Quality Rollup for Q4 2025 focusing on minor bugs. The graphics engine has been updated (JpDRAW2™ v25.12), and we now have Configurable selection background for all tools.

File Support and Bug Fixes

PSD support has better decoding logic and JPEG-2000 support includes odd types that were not supported before. Bugs that have been fixed include a serious bug that caused loss of metadata from old CD5 files and several other file formats, and some tool guide/preview rendering errors.
