Omadesign 0.6.8 — Craft parity

0.6.8 is the first stable release since 0.6.3. It ships the 0.6.4–0.6.7 milestones and the 0.6.8 Craft parity stack (PRs #220–#451) in a single release.

0.6.8: Craft parity

  • Native float compositor: conic gradients and shape gradients (#450, #451).
  • Color: Gray and Lab tagged documents. Conversion happens at display, export, PSD import and in the picker. Documents saved with these tags use project file format version 40 (#449). Recolor adds reduction presets (#444).
  • Menus with real commands: Motion Animation, Layout, Develop and Effect menus, plus layer effects from the Effect menu (#426–#429, #445).
  • Motion, Photo and Layout: reverse and clear animation (#446), auto white balance (#447), and Remove Auto Layout (#448). The Develop panel's Auto light is a single undo step (#431).
  • Channels and selections: the active pixel selection is saved with the document (#432). Saved channels and the selection flip and rotate exactly (#433). Layer masks run through the shared scalar filter engine (#434). Spot ink channels have a canvas overlay (#435), alpha and spot channels exchange with Photoshop files (#436), and channel Calculations are available (#437).
  • Asset Export: bleed, JPEG quality, PNG-8/WebP/GIF variants and row reordering (#438). Layers can be dragged from the Layers panel into the export pane (#439).
  • Symbols, styles and actions: replace symbol instances in place (#440), import symbol libraries (#441), linked document graphic styles (#442), and move/align action steps with action file exchange (#443).
  • Layers: grouping, group-tree rows and whole-subtree Arrange. Duplicate, merge, flatten, clipping, stamp and cross-group merges, with paint-accurate bounds and selection restored on Undo/Redo (#406–#425).
  • Type: Find Font, Find and Replace, editable variable font instances, and font embedding in PDF and SVG. Editable SVG text keeps metrics, kerning, scale, bidi, fallback and leading (#368–#404).
  • Pixel: alpha channels, Quick Mask, channel Curves and filters, and Pixel adjustments and filters in the top menus (#356–#368).

0.6.4–0.6.7

  • 0.6.4: qualified baseline. Affine focal radial SVG gradients and editable linear optical corrections in Photo.
  • 0.6.5: shared inspector and panel primitives.
  • 0.6.6: contextual mixed and locked fields. Vector PDF gradients, masks and transparency are preserved. Styled and threaded IDML exchange is connected to Open and Export.
  • 0.6.7: saved task panels with reliable restore order. Native 16-bit/float pixels, CMYK and ICC color, and editable Photoshop type and placed sources. Live collaboration with presence and per-author undo. Motion expressions, compositions and 3D scenes. SVG filters and patterns. Editable PDF text with embedded fonts. Affinity and Illustrator adapters. Broad keyboard access across native fields. See the 0.6.7 nightly notes.

Known limitations

The limits in the 0.6.7 nightly notes still apply. Full float SVG filters, patterns and appearance isolation refuse explicitly. Tablet behavior, physical display accuracy, Adobe/InDesign compatibility and every RAW camera mode are not claimed as qualified.
