• Added Quiver SVG request handling, output parsing, result ingestion, and billing coverage so SVG results can reuse the existing generation and asset pipeline.
• Added MCP tool-call allowance rules by plan, while keeping binary upload, storage, AI generation, cloud rendering, and batch/API work under their own limits.
• Added plan gating for semantic asset search to prevent workspaces without the entitlement from using higher-cost search capabilities.
• Added annual billing rules and tests for monthly entitlement delivery.

Improved

• Redesigned the public pricing page with monthly and annual billing toggles, clearer plan cards, top-up content, and a more complete FAQ.
• Improved the in-app billing interval selector to make plan switching less ambiguous.
• Improved checkout layout so sign-in, payment state, and selected plan details balance better across narrow and desktop screens.

Fixed

• Fixed billing fixtures and tests so the new allowance rules are covered.
• Fixed generation result ingestion for SVG output type and media metadata handling.
• Fixed incomplete or inconsistent localized labels in plan and billing surfaces.

Added

• Added AI annotation mode for image layers, letting users mark up a target image with arrows, rectangles, circles, and text before asking an external agent to revise it.
• Added an immersive annotation view that focuses the target image, quiets the rest of the canvas, and keeps the interaction closer to native canvas drawing.
• Added a compact annotation toolbar with arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, and common colors, defaulting to arrows for fast local change requests.
• Added undo, selection delete, and complete actions for annotations, while keeping annotation data separate from ordinary design layers.
• Added the get_image_annotation_context MCP tool, returning the target image node, asset provenance, structured annotations, suggested revised-image placement, and an optional composite preview.
• Added a normalized 0..1 coordinate contract for annotation targets, so arrow targets, region bounds, and text positions are relative to the target image instead of the current viewport.

Improved

• Annotation text can sit outside the image while arrows point into the target area, reducing visual obstruction over the image itself.
• Annotation data is organized as a task-level artifact. After a revision is generated, users can annotate the next result as a fresh task.
• Composite previews are generated from the target image and annotation data, rather than from the full viewport, reducing accidental inclusion of nearby layers or side panels.
• Agent revision flows default to the agent’s own image capability, then binary-upload the revised file and place it next to the original with insert_asset_image.
• Added a transition when entering annotation mode so the focused view feels less abrupt.

Fixed

• Fixed annotation arrow geometry where the line could extend past the arrow head.
• Fixed text input styling so it is lighter, smaller, and closer to the rest of the canvas UI.
• Fixed zoomed annotation mode cases where sidebars or normal canvas content could show through and overlap the target image.
• Fixed deletion behavior that could remove the target image instead of the selected annotation.
• Fixed annotation positioning during canvas pan, zoom, and target-image transforms.

Added

• Added create_image_upload_session so external agents can create a short-lived binary upload session before uploading locally generated image files into Assets.
• Added insert_asset_image, insert_agent_generated_image, and Codex-compatible aliases for placing images an agent already generated or obtained, without accidentally starting a Flare backend generation job.
• Added provenance for agent-generated media, including source client, generation model, generation tool, prompt, and notes, so assets keep their origin once they enter the library.
• Added insert_html, converting one HTML snippet or full HTML document into one root frame with supported text, simple boxes, and public HTTPS images as editable child layers.
• Added MCP capability discovery for generation models, motion presets, shader presets, canvas patch operations, media capabilities, and render presets, reducing reliance on stale static instructions.
• Added arrow shape insertion through MCP for agent-authored annotations, diagrams, and visual callouts.
• Added check_client_setup so agents can check the local Flare skill version before the first visible canvas write and remind users to update stale instructions.
• Added selectable MCP OAuth scopes. Recommended agent read/write scopes are selected by default, while generation and render creation scopes stay optional because they can consume usage.

Improved

• Clarified that local files should use binary upload rather than base64 or data URLs inside MCP JSON, reducing context size and truncation risk.
• Improved MCP tool descriptions around center-based canvas coordinates and default root-canvas placement for generated images.
• Expanded Flare skill and MCP docs for Codex-side image generation, visible in-app browser workflows, HTML import, asset upload, and skill update reminders.
• Added MCP plan call allowances and semantic asset search gating. OAuth handshakes, initialization, tool listing, and setup health checks do not count as normal tool calls.

Fixed

• Fixed MCP image insertion sizing and intrinsic metadata handling so images are not cropped or scaled unexpectedly.
• Fixed generated image insertion recovery paths to reduce duplicate generations, duplicate layers, and inconsistent asset state.
• Fixed collaboration bootstrap, overlapping autosaves, and stale checkpoint cases that could let remote state overwrite local edits.
• Fixed an editor chunk cycle that could break editor loading.

Added

• Added path text support so text can follow editable pen paths and survive schema export, import, playback, and frame-based animation.
• Added text placement modes closer to design tools: click to start auto-width text, drag to create fixed-width text boxes, and switch between auto width, auto height, and fixed-size text layout.
• Added layer ordering commands to canvas and layer-panel context menus, including bring forward, send backward, bring to front, and send to back.
• Added fragment shader presets and generated shader thumbnail assets, expanding the shader library with ferrofluid, aurora, chrome, silk, scan, light, prism, and plasma-style visuals.
• Added updated bilingual docs pages for canvas basics, asset folders, generation, projects, shared workspaces, billing, shortcuts, timeline motion, templates, and troubleshooting.
• Added private media access indexes and public CDN asset service support for recipe and generated media workflows.

Improved

• Improved shader preset browsing with real thumbnail previews, more stable preview asset generation, and better rendering behavior for animated shader layers.
• Improved editor transform interactions with edge-based resizing, cleaner resize handles, alt-drag duplication, temporary aspect-ratio locking with Shift, and snapping during corner and edge resizing.
• Improved text and path editing controls, including path-text toggles, type layout controls, and safer behavior when text boxes should not use path text.
• Improved layer panel and timeline labels, i18n coverage, shader icons, and context menus so newer editor surfaces avoid mixed-language UI.
• Improved MP4 and frame export sizing, H.264 encoder configuration, and generation workflow state handling.
• Improved site docs navigation, document detail layout, cookie consent handling, and brand assets for the documentation site.

Fixed

• Fixed path text playback interactions so animated text-on-path layers keep their geometry and timing during playback.
• Fixed shader layer rendering issues around animation updates, offscreen work, shadows, and cached render state.
• Fixed layer right-click instability and selection jumps when opening context menus from canvas or layer rows.
• Fixed canvas transform glitches where resizing could flicker, snap too aggressively, or stop moving after hitting guides.
• Fixed i18n gaps across admin, asset, shader, motion, timeline, and properties panels.
• Fixed generated media, asset library, and recipe media flows so private and public media URLs resolve more consistently.

Added

• Added a dedicated Shader layer type for procedural gradient artwork directly on the canvas, with animated render time, blend modes, and editable shader parameters.
• Added a shader preset browser with Plane, Orb, Flow, and Texture categories, so users can start from richer Shader Gradient-style looks instead of building every abstract background manually.
• Added new shader presets and defaults, including mesh gradients, grain textures, light leaks, ribbon flow, watercolor wash, and halftone swirl treatments.
• Added a timeline-first motion clip workflow so one layer can hold multiple preset or custom animation clips instead of being limited to a single entrance and exit preset.
• Added compact preset popovers for text and layer motion, keeping the inspector short while still supporting grouped preset browsing.
• Added a selected motion summary card with clip timing, preview, delete, and advanced actions before exposing the full keyframe editor.
• Added a reusable advanced motion editor shell for preset-backed clips, so simple preset use stays clean and custom track editing remains available when needed.
• Added a standard multi-layer motion acceptance fixture covering text, image, shape, path, and shader layers inside a frame.
• Added regression tests for motion popovers, summary-card actions, multi-clip state resolution, and schema round-tripping of frame-based motion documents.

Improved

• Improved shader editing with reusable color slots, safer color uniform defaults, categorized browsing, random palette generation, and serialization support for preset params.
• Improved timeline selection for motion clips, including playhead-aware clip selection and quieter selected states on clip rows.
• Simplified the motion inspector default state so choosing a preset no longer expands every advanced parameter by default.
• Improved preset preview consistency across text, images, shapes, and pen paths, including better handling of text decorations, image blur, crop, wipe, trace, and marching-ants style motion.
• Tuned timeline panel expand/collapse timing so side panels and timeline movement feel more connected.
• Kept custom keyframes, numeric tracks, color tracks, motion paths, and loop clips available through advanced editing instead of mixing them into the default preset flow.

Fixed

• Fixed shader layer animation state so disabling animation freezes the current rendered frame instead of jumping back to the default time.
• Fixed frame composition handling during schema import, export, and reconcile so child layer timelines and motion clips respect non-default frame durations.
• Fixed motion serialization now that explicit clips are the source of truth instead of legacy animation slots.
• Fixed cases where image, shape, path, and text preset previews could appear identical or drift away from actual canvas playback.
• Fixed motion parameter controls and selected clip styling so they align with the shared editor panel system.

Added

• Added live motion preset thumbnails so animation choices can be previewed directly in the picker.
• Added grouped preset browsing for text and layer animations, making larger preset sets easier to scan.
• Added media blur strength controls for Focus, Defocus, and Depth Pulse presets.
• Added a shared color picker for text Highlight animation color and custom motion color keyframes.
• Added hover-aware generated-layer parameter affordances that scale to the selected image layer.
• Added pointer-lock support to scrubbable number fields so drag adjustments can continue when the pointer reaches the screen edge.

Improved

• Improved text preset previews so character-level timing, text styling, underline, strikethrough, and highlight color better match the canvas.
• Improved shape, path, and image previews so thumbnails use the selected layer appearance instead of generic placeholders.
• Made wipe, crop, trace, marching ants, slide, rise, and drop previews more visually distinct and closer to their real output.
• Tuned selected preset states and motion parameter controls to stay consistent with the editor panel system.
• Refined generated image layer quick actions with transform-based positioning, tighter overflow menus, and less intrusive generated-parameter triggers.
• Hid image layer quick actions and generated-parameter triggers while panning, zooming, or transforming the layer, then restored them after the canvas settles.

Fixed

• Fixed saved canvas snapshots so active frame or sequence playback previews are restored before serialization.
• Fixed a case where hidden playback-preview state could leak into exported schema visibility.

Added

• Added asset folders so workspace assets can be organized beyond source and media type.
• Added smart asset views for recent, generated, uploaded, unfiled, image, video, and audio assets.
• Added batch move actions for selected assets, including moving items back to unfiled.
