PixiEditor has released version 2.1.2.5, focusing on bug fixes and usability improvements rather than introducing new features. The update addresses various issues including brush-overlay contrast, layer management, and find-and-replace functionality, enhancing the overall user experience. Initially started as a pixel-art editor in 2017, PixiEditor has evolved into a comprehensive 2D graphics tool that aims to compete with established software like Photoshop and Illustrator. The development is supported by a community funding model, with plans for future versions to incorporate community proposals, making it a unique governance experiment in software development

PixiEditor 2.1.2.5 Release: Free Open-Source 2D Editor Gets Polished Patch

PixiEditor, the free open-source universal 2D graphics editor, released version 2.1.2.5 today, focused on bug fixes and polish rather than new features. The patch addresses brush-overlay contrast, shift-for-straight-line behavior, a layer-manager auto-scroll annoyance, and broken find-and-replace functionality. Community-funded through its Pixi Labs model and 584 "founders," the tool keeps its core editor free while shipping seven cross-platform binaries.
