New feature: The Dynamic Shapes panel now includes the menu item Duplicate Shape and Reverse Slice, which, when chosen with a sliced shape selected, makes a copy of the shape and reverses the slice in one step.
New shortcuts: Option/Alt-clicking on the Dynamic Shapes start slice angle panel icon, reverses a slice. Shift+Option/Alt-clicking on the same icon duplicates the shape and reverses the slice. Watch video overview of this new feature on YouTube
Improvement: When dragging a Dynamic Shape slice by its handle, the cursor now snaps to the slices of other shapes.
New feature: The PathScribe panel now includes the actionable menu item Close Path (Smooth Curve), which closes an open path by making the curve between the endpoints smooth (similar to the SubScribe plugin's Connect tool).
Improvement: The PathScribe panel's Add Points at Tangencies / Move Points to Tangencies and related menu items are now actionable.
Bug fix: PathScribe's ghost handle annotations are now slightly thicker, to match InkScribe's.
Bug fix: When dragging a Dynamic Shapes slice with the Option/Alt key held down, and slice linking was previously set in the panel, the cursor annotation now correctly states that the slices will be unlinked.
Improvement: When using the Snap to Collisions Tool, pressing the 'D' key will toggle snapping only to the dragged path (i.e., the path under the cursor).
Improvement: Transform Again is now supported for Dynamic Shapes after moving, scaling, or rotating a shape.
Improvement: When editing a Dynamic Shape, the 'D' key may be pressed to enable duplication (formerly only available with Option/Alt when dragging a shape).
Improvement: The 'Esc' key may be now be pressed when dragging with the Reposition Point Tool to cancel the operation.
Improvement: Clearer annotation when Command/Ctrl-rotating a standard Dynamic Shape.
Improvement: Retain Existing VSW preference added. When New Paths Have Basic Appearance is disabled (see Appearance panel > flyout menu), the DynamicSketch panel input type is set to None, and the default new path style has a variable width stroke, that stroke profile is now maintained when sketching a new path and can be previewed while drawing it. The resulting path will no longer be dynamic.
New feature: The PathScribe panel flyout menu adds an Open Path entry, to change selected closed paths to open without changing their point count (this effectively removes the segment from the last point to the start point zero).
New feature: When two anchor points are selected, the PathScribe panel now shows the distance between them at the top of the panel. Additionally, if they are not coincident (of the same position), a small button appears which allows their positions to be averaged, making them coincident.
