Butterfly Crimson Red (2.5) is now close to the final stable release. Please test this release candidate and report any remaining bugs you find.

Improved PDF rendering

PDFs should now render more reliably. There is also fixes with the PDF export dialog, such as overflow on mobile devices and thumbnails not loading.

Presentation shortcut

The presentation toggle has been added to the keyboard shortcuts settings page and its default shortcut was changed to Ctrl + Space for quicker access. Previously it conflicted with the spacebar input in text fields, which has now been fixed.

Improved UI and Settings

On mobile, we added a warning to the data folder setting, and you’ll now get a confirmation dialog when changing your data folder. Additionally, the Arabic font has been changed from Readex Pro to Noto Sans Arabic.

Template improvements

The template selection UI has been improved for a smoother experience, adding correct padding on mobile and ensuring selection checkboxes are only visible in selection mode.

Bug fixes

A fix where polygons would disappear after editing them has been implemented.
