Development update for the last two weeks: https://docs.drawpile.net/devblog/2026/03/16/dev-update.html

Many animation improvements this time around, such as an exposure tool, timeline zooming and more. Also improvements to numeric inputs and some smaller fixes.

Development update for the last two weeks.

Timelapses now support animations. The attached video shows that off, thanks to BulletPepper for providing it!

There's also several smaller improvements to the animation toolage and there's a new rotation tool, analogous to the pan and zoom tools.

Finally, on Android you, now get to pick the interface scale and between desktop and mobile mode when Drawpile starts.

There's now a project statistics dialog that tells you how long you've worked on a picture and a way to make timelapse from within Drawpile. These features both fall out of the new project file format, along with autosaving.

You can also now assign canvas shortcuts to arbitrary actions. For example, pressing themiddle mouse button to switch to the eraser or undo.

Mostly more work on the new project file format, which integrates with the new autosave/autorecord mechanism.

And also several workarounds for Xiaomi devices on Android that are shared with Krita again.

The main topic is autosaving (or really auto-recording), which is now available for testing in the alpha release. If you want to know more, there's also a talk from last year's Libre Graphics Meeting about where that's going: https://media.ccc.de/v/lgm25-upstream-2025-83662--3000-faster-file-saving-with-time-travel-

Otherwise, there's some Android fixes for devices that act weirdly there, which have been committed to Krita as well.

Topics are a rework of the settings interface speeding up build times by a whole 10% and progress on autosaving. Or really, autorecording, with every brush stroke saved immediately and possibilites for timelapses, tracking time spent actively drawing and a few different kinds of time-travel.

Drawpile development update for the past few weeks: https://docs.drawpile.net/devblog/2025/12/09/dev-update.html

Topics are mostly "infrastructure" stuff: the project file format, the settings implementation and some minor fixes and additions along the way.
