Although there are some known problems, the version is ready to enter beta state.

Please report any problem at https://community.cosmigo.com/c/beta-version-feedback.
Because the whole tool engine has been reworked, there is a slight risk that I accidentally removed functionality without noticing it myself. Please report this as well or any other thing that I may have changed to the worse. This helps me to iron everything out before the release.

2021-10-10 Pro Motion 8 is near

Just noticed that I did not say anything in the news about the upcoming version nor did I publish a maintenance update for more than one year. Time flies. If you want to see some news about all the changes for the new release then please have a look at https://twitter.com/CosmigoPM
The next release was planned to be a 7.3 but with all the changes it deserves a major version change to V8. No worries, upgrade is free for all NG users.
Hope to have a public beta soon. I have no reliable ETA for the final release. If everything goes well then it should be this year. Keep fingers crossed.

2020-08-23 Maintenance Update 7.2.7

Small update to fix some bugs and introduce features like
- imroved frame resize dialog supporting percentage settings
- "crop to selection"
- new pipette tool options
