Hi All,
We have just made 2.2 live across all App Stores and our website. As always, the feedback we have received from you all during this beta has been an incredible help in both shaping the new features as well as squashing many bugs!
The build we have released is the same as RC3 (build 2005), meaning for the time being whether you use the latest beta version or switch to using the release version they are the same. If you anticipate taking part in the next beta you may wish to keep your current beta version installed, as this will be updated on auto update when a new beta is available. This will either be a 2.2 patch if we feel one is needed, or moving straight onto a 2.3 beta.
It would be impossible for us to do what we do without your support, and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for everything you have contributed to this release.
All the best,
Ash

Hi All,
A new beta build is rolling out now - version number 2.2.0.1954 - which will be available to you on auto update within the next hour.

We consider this build feature complete in terms of 2.2 release, with future beta builds now only including bug fixes or very minor tweaks.

Main changes in this build are:
Move data entry now includes rotation option. In object creation tools where Enter previously invoked the create dialog, this now always invokes the Move dialog. So for example in a shape tool, Enter now brings up the Move dialog. cmd / ctrl + click is what needs to be used to invoke shape data entry. We have added new default shortcuts in both the Photo and Pixel personas for fill with primary / secondary colour. We've added that to the Brush shortcuts feature description. Fill with primary colour: Alt + backspace Fill with secondary colour: cmd/Ctrl + backspace "Fit to curve delete node" option now added to the right click node menu (i.e. the same result as Alt-Delete) PDF password feature now removed Alt modifier to get hand in text tool now removed
  This build also includes many fixes.

Thanks,
Ash

Hi
@DEWLine and thanks @walt.farrell

The 'Comic Book Toolkit' is not yet complete....it has evolved into something large!😀 .. I haven't decided what to do with it. Oddly I was working on it yesterday as I wanted to participate in a small way to the 'Comic Art' feature on Artstation this week (7-11 August). 
I have so far only released 'snippets' of the Toolkit. Some Palettes | updates to associated brush sets (PB 19) | Seamless Dot Pattern Assets
Is it the whole toolkit you are interesting on or a particular aspect?

I believe the original template idea is during and post version 2 release. So most of the assets | brushes | Palettes etc will almost certainly be V2 upwards. But I doubt that means they cannot be available for V1 use. (I hadn't really considered going backwards!). I am sure the assets etc can be used but maybe the Master Template would cause issues. I have not written up the process yet. Which is something else I will have to consider. 
Most of the vector assets should be backward compatible!.
Most of what is described | highlighted in the 'Comic Toolkit' thread are vector objects. The assets needed to be scalable as you ultimately have to consider different page sizes. The template at the moment is just A4. The assets can be adjusted for any physical size (within reason). This includes the grunge page borders. I did intent to extend these to the panels and tiers!.

There are additional features and tools added to 2.1, 2.2 that also needed to be taken into consideration (such as the asset to colour swatch; style picker; knife tool; warp)
 
I wanted to create a 'Template/s' that are extremely flexible, rather than just have a template that is populated by generic content. In essence in this one. The Panels, Tiers and Pages will allow a lot of variation. This allows each page to be unique in the Master document. The masks are the controlling elements with the option being creative within the panels underneath. The Template itself also encompasses all three apps. I created sketching templates (AD).(layout templates AD + APu) and a lot of supporting assets to increase the flexibility.

Obviously with the changes made to assets and linking All of this can be available to all 3 apps at the same time  Also looked at how CPS worked and compared | mimicked process in Designer. Had an issue yesterday with the template in Publisher. In that I could not see an easy way of exporting similar to the Export Persona in Designer with rescaling for site upload (page exports were >10mb on export) So found you can get around it by creating separate artboards in Designer (placing the file and selecting the required page) and importing the Publisher file back. Then you get access to slices.

I think I have finished with supporting brush sets | Text/dialogue toolkits but still working on extending some aspects like panels | tiers | palettes etc. The Ink Blocker Brush  Set is the latest. Needed it to create the Text Dialogue Toolkit. (grunge raster ink blocks that could be converted to vector! in inkscape) 

After the Cheltenham Paint Festival been a bit distracted with building a 'Graffiti Toolkit' however that's just another project!😀.. But I have sourced some very interesting Palettes! which are free! which could be included here. Still working on the Palettes DC Comic 1982 is available in resources but Marvel colours been more difficult (As I have not found one...made my own though!)
 

Here's another surfer I drew. People refer to the surfer as "he" but I used a reference photo of a woman shredding. 

I really like the feel of this one

Thanks Mike.. It is sort of my response to trolls!
