- We have removed many bottlenecks in Synfig's code, related with redundant calls of "getenv" function. This resulted in great performance improvement of Windows version (#2826). This fix also gives slight speed boost for MacOS, while Linux users will not see any significant difference.
- Windows version now shipped with embedded Python version 3.8.10, which results in smaller size of distributive and faster installation (#67).
