Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.5.0

Original source

Highlights since 0.2.0

182 commits from 183 merged pull requests, including work from 31 community contributors (thank you!), and 146 issues closed.

Your work is safer:

• Recovered unsaved documents survive a second crash.
• Deeply nested .pcraft files reopen.
• photocraft-cli batch refuses to overwrite its input folder.
• Preferences no longer get lost when two windows or tabs save, or when a save fails.

Languages: the interface is available in 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Русский and Čeština (Edit › Preferences › Interface › Language), with CJK fonts and IME input in the Type tool.

Files:

• JPEG and other no-alpha exports composite transparency over white.
• Formats without colour profiles get sRGB.
• Truncated JPEGs and multi-frame files open with a warning instead of silently.
• TGA is offered in Save As and Export As.

Editing:

• Free Transform a Copy and Transform Again on a Copy.
• Keyboard layer navigation, number keys for opacity, Alt-click colour sampling.
• New from Clipboard.
• Undo and redo restore the targeted layer.
• Shortcuts pressed in quick succession all run, in order.

Automation (CLI, MCP, control channel):

• Stricter, clearer parameter and flag errors, and <subcommand> --help.
• Background jobs that agents can wait for or poll.
• Recorded actions run in batch.

Upgrade notes

Automation (MCP / control channel) now needs explicit file roots. File access from automation clients is limited to folders you grant with --automation-read-root <dir> / --automation-write-root <dir> (or PHOTOCRAFT_AUTOMATION_READ_ROOT / PHOTOCRAFT_AUTOMATION_WRITE_ROOT), and paths must be relative to them. Without roots, automation file operations fail closed. The desktop control channel also requires the per-launch token printed at startup. Interactive file dialogs and one-shot CLI commands are unaffected.

Camera RAW: DNG, Canon CR2, Sony ARW (lossless and compressed), Panasonic RW2 and uncompressed Olympus ORF now decode. Nikon's compressed NEF and other formats still open their embedded full-size preview for now.
