Butterfly 2.5.2-rc.2 focuses on reliability and polish. Please test this release candidate and report any remaining bugs you find.
Improved sync dialog and cached file handling
A new not synced filter has been added to the sync dialog, making it easier to find files that still need attention.
Nested synced file discovery has been fixed, and cached folders no longer stay stuck in a cache loading state forever. Exporting cached remote files while offline now works correctly as well.
Better performance and memory usage on large documents
Drawing, erasing, and undo/redo performance has been improved on large documents.
This release also fixes a major memory leak that could happen when opening and closing documents with many pages.
Shape, selection, PDF, and file list fixes
Several shape and selection issues have been resolved. The spacer tool now affects circle shapes correctly, shape type dropdowns no longer keep the first opened shape selected, and shape tools now work correctly in all drawing directions.
Rectangular selection has also been fixed, PDF pages now render correctly after switching pages or retrying failed PDF loads, and the file list now refreshes after changing the show thumbnails setting.
