Release Notes – February 23rd 2023

Welcome to this week’s release notes for tldraw—and on a Thursday, too. These should be pretty short and sweet, as we have a big one in the oven for next week.

By the way, have you tried together.tldraw.com, our infinitely scrolling drawing-only chatroom? You never know who you’ll meet.

What’s new

You can now share a read-only link to your project. There are now two links to any room. The regular link will allow anyone with the link to see live changes and edit the shared project. The special read-only link will allow anyone to see those live changes but not be able to make any changes themselves. Very handy for presentations and demos.

Speaking of multiplayer rooms, we now show the share panel immediately when you share a project.

Finally, you can now convert an Embed shape to a Bookmark shape, and back again.

Improvements

• We increased the allowed file size for a shared project. You can now share projects up to four times as large as before!
• We also increased the maximum number of pages in a project from 20 to 40.
• Nested submenus are now smaller, and fit better on mobile screens.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where arrows could disconnect when moved.
• Fixed a bug where groups could disappear when cloned.
• Fixed an issue where shapes with a fixed aspect ratio could stretch.
• Fixed a bug where Bookmark shapes could be resized.
• Fixed a bug where Scratch Embed shapes could slide when resized as part of a group.
• Fixed icons being slightly pixelated.
• Fixed a crash that could occur while snapping.
• Fixed a bug with arrow connecting that could cause two shapes to have the same z-index.
• Fixed the pages dialog sometimes overflowing the bottom of the screen.
• On mobile, fixed an issue where the styles panel would be partially covered the actions menu.
• Fixed a crash when stretching shapes with zero width or height.
• Fixed incorrect menu label for toggling dark mode.
• Fixed the languages menu appearing in two places on desktop.

That’s it for this week. Since you made it this far, here’s a special preview of the update coming next week. See you then!
