Bug Fixes and Changes

• Deleting a layer while its name is being edited, no longer assigns the new name to the layer below it.
• New documents get a default color space of RGB.
• Gradients are a bit smoother.
• The font panel now correctly chooses fonts with the correct weight, such as "Extra Black".
• When dragging around a layer in the layers list, you now just get an icon of the image, instead of the whole row.
• Acorn images without an icon thumbnail now have a generic "Acorn Image" icon.
• Uses less memory, now using a database on disk for undo operations.
• Fixed a crasher when opening up Acorn documents with set color spaces.
• Fixed a problemo where picking up a color with the option key (when in brush mode) was only picking up a color from the current layer, and not a composite of all the visible layers.
• Fixed a problemo where picking up a color with the option key (when in brush mode) was off by a pixel.
• Single clicking on an image with the move tool no longer makes the document "dirty", allowing a worthless, pointless, empty undo action.
• It's now a bit easier to grab handles on shapes when you are zoomed out.
• Various little crop improvements.
• The input box for the feather selection now updates the slider right away.
• Added a workaround for a bug in 10.5, where resizing the image would add "peppers".
• Fixed a bug where a magic wand selection would be funky if the layer that was being clicked on was larger than the canvas.
• Fixed a bug where the contents of a selection would draw in a strange place when you started to move it on a bitmap layer.
• Drawing on a layer when the compositing mode is set to multiply now works correctly.
• Fixed a problem where editing text would sometimes not wrap to the set bounds.
• Fixed some bugs with the line tool. Probably added some new ones.
• Screenshots are now faster and support multiple monitors.
• Fixed a bug when sliding the screen shot selection to the bottom of the monitor.
