What is new in this release:
- We've also updated our iOS app "Mirror" with support for the new prototyping scroll effect behaviour, along with compatibility improvements for iOS 13 and a few bug fixes. You can get the update from the App Store.
- Previously we capped the number of Cloud projects in the sidebar of the Documents window at 20, but that felt a little limiting. Now, there's no limit at all, so you'll see all of your projects right where you need them.
- We've added a new option to the export settings for groups to Trim Transparent Pixels. When it's enabled, any transparent pixels around the layers in your group won't show in any exported asset.
- We're doing some Spring cleaning and tidying up our code, so creating Symbols and working with them should feel a little faster now.
