Release Notes – March 14th 2024

Hey! Welcome back to another tldraw release.

If you didn’t notice, we pushed out version 2.0 of the tldraw SDK. We’ll have more info on that another day. But for now, let’s look all the new features and fixes that it brings to tldraw.com.

What’s new

Shared projects now have a title at the the top of the page. Edit the title by double clicking it.

We added a new Export menu for exporting the entire page — not just your current selection.

With this release, we also completely rebuilt how snapping works for lines. Lines can now snap to the corners and centers of shapes.

And now the middle handles of lines can snap too.

Lines can also snap to themselves.

Improvements

You now get some visual feedback when you copy shapes on top of themselves. Your selection box blinks to let you know that the paste worked.

You now default to the Hand tool in read-only mode, making it easier to pan around straight away.

And we shortened the invite links for shared projects.

We also shipped some substantial performance improvements with this release. Let us know if you spot an improvement.

And, as always, we updated our translations — this time for Croatian, Slovenian, Hungarian, and Korean.
