1.41.1
All Changelogs Background Sync is now available in the main app!
We've been hearing great things from you regarding the new Background Sync, so we are excited to announce that Background Sync is now available in the main app!
As a recap, Local Mode now syncs your work in the background while you keep drawing, without interrupting you with a fullscreen loading screen. Just like how apps such as Google Docs work offline and then sync to the cloud in the background, GearConnect follows a similar approach.
Background Sync is multi-threaded, meaning the app itself never slows down while the app is syncing, and because it's a snapshot based approach, you can now import projects and restore version histories in seconds instead of minutes. This makes it practical to jump around different version histories until you find the change you are looking for, and Background Sync keeps up in the background.
For full details on how Background Sync works, refer to our previous changelog or read up about it in our updated documentation.
