* Important note: This update removes support for Paper accounts to establish Legacy status and for migrating journals from previous generations of Paper (v1.0 - v3.6.10). Upgrading from those old versions will result in a loss of legacy content. Please export your content from Paper (v1.0 - v3.6.10) prior to upgrading to Paper 4.5.0. Upgrading from any 4.0+ versions (since Nov. 2017) is fully supported.
Bug fixes in this release:
- Zombie pages! Deleted pages in synced journals (on iOS 13) have been coming back from the grave. We found the antidote. Your sketches are safe.
- Default journal templates were vanishing when synced. Now those templates stay put.
4.4.2
2019-09-27
We've added a new feature to the Collage Tool. You can now quickly import any page from your journal as an image directly into the canvas. Using your own sketch pages to build entirely new designs with the Collage Tool is fast and surprisingly fun.
Also included: a couple of minor bug fixes and improved reliability of our Pro purchase flow.
For more info about the Collage Tool, check out our support page URL: we.tl/paper

For those of you who want to take visual organization to the next level, you can also choose the color of the band on each journal.
And finally, we've added a new feature for picking a page template for an entire journal—grid, lined, or storyboard presets will be automatically applied to every new page.

This update contains a few good bug fixes:
- For some users, iCloud synced journals failed to load. No data was lost, but the journals were not accessible. This is now fixed.
- Sometimes the canvas view would enter the upside down state after returning from another app. It was an interesting issue, but we've seen stranger things.
- The color mixer would sometimes change unexpectedly when switching between pages.

2019-03-29
The new Blend tool offers quick access to a feature that was previously only available when using a connected stylus. Blend and blur the ink in your sketches to soften edges and smoothly combine colors.
*FEATURES*
- New Blend tool for all users!
*FIXES*
- Rotating pages would shift the position of imported images. Now they stay put.
- Duplicating a cut image would result in “squaring-off” the edges. We’ve fixed that, too.
*4.3.2 FIXES*
- Changing a color swatch in 4.3.1 would trigger an irreversible loss of custom color palette data. Our team regrets releasing this bug and we encourage you to upgrade to 4.3.2 immediately.
- Duplicating a page with a background color would result in a change to the page's background color. This is now fixed.
- Cutting images with the Collage Tool would result in large file sizes. We've optimized image storage for this case and significantly reduced the associated file sizes.

2018-11-14

4.2.7
2018-11-08
After a team checkup at the optometrist, we've made some refinements to the visual depth of field effects introduced in the last update. Thanks for the helpful feedback. And if you notice an improvement, feel free to update your review in the App Store. We actually do read every single one.
This version also fixes a rendering bug for text notes, and should improve the reliability of the pinch-to-zoom gesture.
There are also some impressive optimizations we were able to make which should improve overall speed and performance.
4.2.6

We've also spruced up the settings menu, and made our "How to Use Paper" videos easier to find.

This version brings two essential features to the full screen canvas view.
— Transition to the previous or next page in your journal by swiping with ONE FINGER from the left or right edge of the screen.
— Create a new blank page by swiping left or right with TWO FINGERS on the canvas.
Whether you’re reviewing sketches, presenting work, or rapidly filling a journal with ideas, these two new gestures will keep you in the flow.
We've also localized Paper for our Dutch speaking customers.
4.2.4

4.2.2
2018-08-02

Journal sync is finally here. Customers can now sync their journals between iOS devices via iCloud. Your journals will be with you wherever you go. And your creations will be safely backed up should anything happen to your iPad or iPhone.

- Recurring journal settings "tip" is no longer so persistent
- Pages now deselect properly after performing move or delete actions in the grid view

4.1.0
2018-04-20

- Set finger to erase when using Pencil
- Export PDF from the grid: use multi-select to create a PDF

FIXES
