DRAWING TOOLS

For now shapes cannot be edited after validation. They are still rasterized.

Improvements of the following tools to allow rotation and transform:

• rectangle
• ellipse
• gradient: can shear the diamond and radial gradients
• phong shape
• text: layout box, paragraph alignment, blur radius in tenth of pixels, better support for Unicode
• selection rectangle
• selection ellipse

Misc:

• finer zoom when holding CTRL key.
• ratio can be specified for selection rectangle/ellipse

LAYERS

New tool: zoom layer.

At the layer level, it is now possible to move, rotate and zoom a layer without rasterizing it. This is true for raster layers and also for SVG layers.
