1Snip v0.5.1 Alpha

1Snip v0.5.1-alpha Release Notes

Release date: July 2, 2026

Improved

• Capture dropdown options now use larger clean stroke icons with per-mode accent rails for faster scanning.
• The main History button and panel have been renamed to Library to better cover saved snips, canvases, maps, imports, and trash.
• Settings theme selection is now a compact dropdown with the active theme name and palette preview.
• Canvas export now uses one compact Export dropdown for PNG and PDF instead of two wide toolbar buttons.
• New Canvas boards now center and fit added snips better after creation.
• Canvas Library thumbnails now use stronger contrast and item outlines so board contents are easier to read.

Fixed

• Docked Draw tool icons now have a stable SVG viewport so hover and active states do not clip the icon artwork.
• Docked Draw tool scrolling now works across the full icon row and uses a slim app-styled horizontal scrollbar instead of the chunky default browser bar.

Notes

• Alpha builds are unsigned, so macOS and Windows may show security prompts.
• This is a prerelease and is not marked as GitHub latest.

1Snip v0.5.0-alpha

Release date: June 28, 2026

Added

• History Map view for visually arranging saved snips with draggable cards, zones, notes, links, grouping, hidden items, mini overview navigation, and expanded map mode.
• History Canvas boards for combining multiple snips into one persisted workspace, adding more snips later, drawing on the board, and exporting the composed board as PNG or PDF.
• Saved Canvases smart view with composed thumbnails, rename, duplicate, delete, trash restore, and reopen actions.
• Canvas page controls for dark, white, or transparent backgrounds plus Free, 16:9, 4:3, Letter, and A4 page sizes.

Improved

• Canvas view controls now match the main app zoom rail with Fit, 100%, Width, slider, Layers, and Annotations controls.
• Deleted Canvas boards now move to Trash first, where they can be restored or deleted forever.

Fixed

• Canvas edge snapping now persists valid zero positions and no longer grows the Canvas when an item snaps exactly to an existing boundary.
• Canvas toolbar dropdowns now layer above Canvas snips.
• Draw stays enabled while History Canvas is open.
• Desktop update availability now shows an indicator inside Settings even when the update response is missing a platform-specific download URL.

Notes

• Alpha builds are unsigned, so macOS and Windows may show security prompts.
• Packaged app capture, Scrolling Stitch, and screen recording should be smoke-tested before promoting this build as latest.
