Download the single file below and open it in any modern browser — it's the document, the viewer and the editor in one. Shipped files self-update through the signed release channel.

  • Lock an element so clicks and drags skip it. A full-slide image or fill
    no longer gets in the way of drag-selecting the items above it. Select the
    element and press ⌘L (Ctrl+L), or use Lock in the Arrange section or the
    right-click menu; clicks and marquee drags on the canvas now pass over it,
    and arrow keys and Delete leave it alone. A locked element is still in the Layers list
    (with a padlock), and Alt-click reaches it, where it shows a padlock and a
    dashed outline until you unlock it. Presenting, printing and export are
    unchanged. With nothing selected, ⌘L still goes to the browser. Thanks to
    johnbeard.
  • Web addresses become links as you type and paste. Type or paste
    https://github.com into a text box and it becomes a link once the word is
    finished (a space or Enter), leaving a full stop, comma or closing bracket
    after it outside the link; ⌘Z straight after turns it back into plain text.
    Only http and https addresses are linked. Thanks to Hermholtz.
  • Indent and Outdent in the formatting bar. Select text in a bulleted or
    numbered list and the bar that appears now carries Outdent and Indent beside
    the list buttons, with Tab and Shift+Tab still doing the same. Thanks to
    Hermholtz.
  • Speaker view scales to its window. The current and next-slide previews
    now resize with the presenter window instead of a fixed width, and notes are
    larger (24px) so they read at a glance. Thanks to tikurahul.
  • Lists survive the trip to PowerPoint and back. A bulleted or numbered
    list used to arrive in PowerPoint as one run-together line. Each item is now
    its own bulleted paragraph, nested lists keep their levels, and numbers stay
    live, so PowerPoint renumbers them as you edit. Importing a PowerPoint deck
    brings plain bullets and numbered lists back as real lists, nesting
    included.
  • Links in text survive the trip to PowerPoint and back. A web address
    linked inside a text box used to arrive in PowerPoint as plain words. It is
    now a working hyperlink there, and links to email addresses are kept too.
    Importing a PowerPoint deck brings its web links back as links. Bento's text
    keeps web links only, so email links come in as plain text, and the import
    report says so. Anything that is not an ordinary web or email address never
    becomes a link either way.
  • Formulas morph with a little spring. When a formula morphs from one
    slide to the next, each symbol now travels to its new place with a gentle
    overshoot and settle instead of a plain glide, and stays lined up with its
    formula all the way even when the formula changes size between slides.
    Thanks to tikurahul.
  • Embedded fonts use their own bold. A font added with "+ Embed font
    file…" now declares the weights it contains, so Bold draws the font's real
    bold instead of a browser-thickened regular. Thanks to tikurahul (#850).
  • Pasted text keeps its spaces. Pasting plain text, or text copied from a
    terminal or a code block, no longer squeezes runs of spaces into one: a
    monospace table keeps its columns, indentation stays, and a tab becomes four
    spaces. Thanks to Hermholtz.
  • Pressing an unselected object and dragging moves it again. Pressing on
    an object that isn't selected and dragging in one motion selected it but
    didn't move it, so it took a second press. It now moves with the first.
  • Backslashes you type stay. a\-b no longer loses its backslash when you
    click away, and a\\-b no longer loses one more on every edit. A backslash
    is dropped only where it escapes something (\*not bold\*, \- not a bullet);
    everywhere else, typed or pasted, it is text. Thanks to Hermholtz.
  • Drag a slide to the very end. The sidebar now accepts a dropped slide on the
    last gap and on the New slide button, so a slide can be moved to the end of the
    deck in one drag instead of two moves. A slide's hidden states go with it.
    Thanks to Hermholtz.
  • Copy works on text that uses the deck's font. ⌘C and the Copy menu item did
    nothing, silently, on a text box that had no font of its own (the usual case for
    decks written as JSON), so the next paste brought back the old clipboard. Such
    text now copies, and its embedded theme font travels with it. Thanks to b-per.
