New in 0.90

• Big 4K projects are stable: fixed a crash on 8 GB cards, and 60-layer 4K projects now open.
• Much faster painting: plain paint is about 20x faster at 12 layers and 40x at 30, at 4K. Paint on layers with
  effects is about 3x faster, but still not smooth at 4K. 2K projects are faster too.
• Nearly instant layer switching.
• Viewport: separate Camera and rendering and Lighting icons, plus new cavity shading.
• Mesh import cleans up broken triangles and normals.
• Fixed wrong material on some Pass Through layers.
• Removed "Skip this version" from the update window.

Known limits

• Projects with many layers take a little longer to open.
• Some edits low in the stack (Levels, bottom-layer opacity) can be slower at 4K.
• On very large stacks, releasing a stroke or the first dab on a low layer can take a few seconds.
• Heavy video memory use by other programs slows painting on layers with effects.
