Notes
After a short break we're back to our usual release schedule, and we have a lot of changes in this release! It includes a new Drawing Canvas fixed resolution mode, which lets you make sure Drawing Canvas uses a fixed size render surface regardless of the object size or display scale. This avoids some of the complications that can arise with the automatic resolution scaling mode, such as the surface being cleared when the display scale changes.
There's lots of other improvements including Animations Editor usability improvements with multi-select, some new options for handling the mouse wheel, and some new scripting APIs. There's also a big batch of bug fixes, especially around timelines as we've been working hard to ensure it's reliable. Happy testing!
