A new Quilt Draw release has been made! To use it, go to its repository page. Possible issue: Please turn off Dark Reader for the site when using a browser that supports prefers-color-scheme, because the site already has a dark theme for that environment.

This is a major release that restructures the entire UI into tabs. The “Block” tab retains the editor, block controls, and a mini-preview. A larger preview, and controls for the quilt as a whole, are on the “Quilt” tab. Finally, there is a “Print” tab with a print-oriented layout. It should show the block at a reasonable size, along with the whole preview, on a single page.

Printing is meant to work reasonably well on either A4 or US Letter paper sizes with “fit width” as the scaling option. Please file an issue if there are any problems.

The tools for the block editor have been revamped to be graphical.

The “spin” and “flip” tools have been reworked, so that all operations are available without a right-click function available. That is, instead of a single “Flip” tool that chooses directions based entirely on the mouse button, there are distinct “↔” (horizontal flip) and “↕” (vertical flip) tools. Each one supports right-click to do the related operation, but it is no longer required.

Minor features include:

• The main/secondary color layout is vertical, to reduce confusion when using left-handed mouse button layout (the primary color is now above, rather than to the left of, the secondary color.)
• The mouse cursor changes shape over the block editor, based on the currently selected tool, as an additional hint.
• New site/app icons have been created.

This release has been tagged in the repository as v2.0.0; going forward, each release will be given a version number, according to the Semantic Versioning standard.

Support for Firefox 52 ESR (Windows XP/Vista) and Pale Moon has been retained. I would like to give a special salute to Mozilla for supporting operating systems longer than strictly necessary.
