New stuff and changes:

• The Export window now has a share toolbar item, so you can send your exported image direct to Mail or other apps (10.15+).
• The Export window has a new "Copy to Clipboard" button in the lower left corner.
• Added support for Mozilla's MozJPEG encoder in the Export window (and also available via AppleScript via the "web export" command).
• Acorn is a lot faster at opening up animated GIF and PNG files with lots of frames. It also uses way less memory when doing so now on your M1 Macs.
• The sheet for adding filters is now a popover. This is awesome if you're on MacOS 11 or later and you're tired of seeing your image being dimmed out when you bring it up.
• When using the rotation dial in the shape inspector, it will always round to nice whole values. But if you want super precise values when using the dial, hold down the option key.
• New fussy pref: "Use PDF import window with New from Clipboard". This is awesome if you have PDF data on the clipboard and you want to get a preview of the image or change the DPI of the rasterized PDF or even give it a background color.
• The action menu in the filters and shape processors inspector will now let you enable and disable all filters. In addition, the controls for the filters will become disabled if you turn off their visibility.
• Updated the fuzzy matching algorithm for the Command Bar so it gets slightly better results.
• If you have Acorn's color picker up, Command-Shift-C will close it (or bring it back up if it's already gone. It acts as a toggle now!)
• Double clicking on a color in Acorn's color picker will now dismiss the color picker.
• Updated the iOS presets in the new image window.
• The AppleScript paste command now returns a layer object when the clipboard contains something that'll make a new layer.

Bug fixes:

• Made some tweaks to how Acorn's color sampler works when picking images out from the screen, where previously things might get wonky with certain display setups.
• Fixed a problem where Export option for a background matte wouldn't work for Animated GIFs.
• Fixed a problem where a font name in the font popup for background windows might change on you when it didn't make sense to.
• Fixed a problem where the "Lock dimensions" setting wasn't saved along with a crop preset.
• Fixed a problem where selecting a gray color profile on export would remove the alpha channel from your image.
• Fixed a problem where the "Fill expansion with color" option when resizing a canvas could add just a bit _too_ much color to your image.
• Fixed a problem where painting might not show up correctly on certain layers after moving them around a bit.
• Fixed a problem where copying a layer to a mask could remove the original layer if the original layer and mask were on the same row, resulting in a sad outcome.
• Fixed some problems where changing the text color might not work.
• Fixed some problems where the Touch Bar wouldn't show the right controls for the Pencil tool.
• Cleaned up some shape layer handle drawing when resizing multiple selected shapes.
• Fixed problem where duplicated layers would get a blank name.
• Fixed problem where histograms weren't showing up on 10.15.7 after Apple's Security Update 2021-002 Catalina was installed.

Other:

• Shape shadow offsets no longer clamp to 200/-200 pixels.
• Cleanup of some tool icons.
• The zoom to fit shortcut is now 8% more accurate.
• Tweaked the way histograms are drawn a little for the Levels filter.
• Previewing some RAW files should be faster now.
• The slider for the Exposure setting in the Dodge and Burn brushes now looks and acts like the other sliders in that inspector.
