## November 8, 2026

- **Improved: See which recovered edits are saved**  
  Recovered edits move to Saved after confirmation. Save supported edits together, with unresolved changes kept available if only part of the recovery succeeds.

## November 7, 2026

- **New: Find your way around large graphs**  
  See nodes, groups and your current view in the minimap. Open it from View Settings, resize it, and use it to move around your graph or return to a previous view.

## November 6, 2026

- **New: Build atmosphere from a depth map**  
  Add depth haze, fog and diffusion with Depth Atmosphere. Shape the falloff with a custom curve, adjust distant colours, and soften depth edges.
- **New: Generate depth and surface normals**  
  Facet Depth V1 and Facet Normals V1 turn an image into scene data for compositing. Scale the output to your shot, with depth that can ignore transparent objects.
- **New: Create depth maps for images and video**  
  Depth Anything V3 now has image and video nodes. Generate grayscale depth maps to drive depth effects in your graph.
- **New: Create with new image and video models**  
  GPT Image 2.6 Flare and Sunburst add generation and editing options. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash brings new image, editing and video nodes to your graph.
- **New: Make videos with Kling 4.0 Flash**  
  Four Kling 4.0 Flash nodes cover text, starting images, references and video editing. Choose the node that matches your shot.
- **New: Edit images with FIBO 2**  
  FIBO 2 Edit takes image references and text or structured instructions. Its outputs include the edited image, the instruction used and the seed for reuse.
- **Improved: Refocus with smoother foreground edges**  
  ZDefocus spreads foreground blur beyond object edges and smooths focused boundaries. Organised tabs and layer previews make focus and blur easier to inspect.
- **Improved: Inspect images at the detail you need**  
  Change preview resolution directly in the Design panel for the session. Keep your framing between matching shots and compare processed images at full detail.
- **Improved: Use the same blend modes across contexts**  
  Merge in the compositor and Composite in TEX now share blend modes and matching results, including transparent inputs and individual channels.

## November 3, 2026

- **Improved: Keep saving when an update fails**  
  A rejected result update no longer blocks separate edits that can safely save. Unresolved changes stay available for review, and saving retries when temporary problems clear.
- **Fixed: Image processing and exports preserve full resolution when using fallback rendering**

## November 2, 2026

- **New: Save text to use again**  
  Keep reusable prompts and text in your personal Saved text library. Insert them with / or the text field’s right-click menu, and manage them in Preferences.
- **Improved: Keep using your purchased credits**  
  Paid plans now include a 14-day grace period after paid service ends. Valid purchased credits then keep basic access, with storage and project limits shown in your account.
- **Fixed: Connected inputs now drive compositor parameters, including Crop**
- **Fixed: Storage-limit messages now explain your used space and allowance**

## November 1, 2026

- **New: Correct colours by hue**  
  Hue Correct adjusts hue, saturation, brightness and each colour channel for the colours you choose, with a curve for each. Pick a colour to add a point at its hue.
- **New: Remove noise and grain, keep the detail**  
  Denoise cleans noisy or grainy images while keeping fine detail. It finds the noise level automatically, from an area you choose, or from values you set.
- **Improved: Animate colours, switches and menus**  
  Keyframe colours, switches and menus in the compositor, not only numbers. A dopesheet shows every keyed value on the timeline, and parameter rows follow the playhead.
- **Improved: Shape colour by saturation and brightness**  
  Curves now has four relationship curves, such as Luminance to Saturation, that change colour by how saturated or bright it is. The larger editor lists every curve in a side panel.
- **Improved: Choose your bokeh shape**  
  Defocus and ZDefocus can blur with a heart, star or ring aperture, or with any image you connect as the shape. Set Output to Kernel to see the shape the blur uses.
- **Fixed: The Run button no longer turns into Retry while you adjust parameters**
- **Fixed: Discarding unsaved changes also removes the edits waiting behind a rejected one**

## October 31, 2026

- **Improved: Control each channel in Merge**  
  Use Custom mode to combine images with expressions for colour and alpha. Pick individual channels or build RGB values to control the result.
- **Improved: Crop directly in the compositor**  
  Adjust crops in the compositor viewer with shared handles, aspect-ratio presets and size fields.
- **Improved: Give your panels their own colours**  
  Choose Colour from a panel tab’s context menu to distinguish your workspace panels. Your chosen colours stay with the layout.
- **Fixed: Run preparation explains problems and recovers after input changes**
- **Fixed: Reset restores your saved parameter defaults across editors**
- **Fixed: Discard clears stale recovery warnings and retained local drafts**

## October 30, 2026

- **Improved: Browse takes without the layout shifting**  
  Compare takes in a steady preview that keeps each image fully visible. Video takes show a poster until you choose to play them.
- **Improved: Inspect results in the Design panel**  
  Zoom into images and videos, inspect colour channels and compare two selected images in the Design panel. Read text outputs with search, wrapping and Markdown views.
- **Fixed: Projects open reliably and Library tabs stay stable**
- **Fixed: Batch run confirmation and 1–8 take buttons work again**
- **Fixed: Compositors render after refresh and saved takes open correctly**
- **Fixed: Image Assets show effect previews in the Tab menu**

## October 29, 2026

- **New: Find and choose your best take**  
  Browse takes on a node or in the fullscreen viewer and choose the result your graph uses. Keep a favourite, follow the latest successful take, or delete unused takes.
- **Improved: Preview image effects before adding them**  
  Compare image effects with their source before adding them to your graph. Select an image node, then browse effects in the Tab menu.
- **Improved: See what will run before starting**  
  Hover over a run action to see which nodes will reuse results, update or generate. Plan new generations explicitly, or generate several takes together.
- **Fixed: Connecting and deleting nodes works reliably in large projects**

## October 28, 2026

- **Improved: Open large projects faster**  
  Move between folders without loading every node in your project. Existing projects prepare once, then load the levels you need as you navigate.

  Review and export retained edits from Needs attention while continuing with saved work. Temporary saving interruptions recover without requiring another edit.
- **Fixed: Downstream generators use updated Transform and Resize results**

## October 25, 2026

- **New: Create and edit with Kling 4.0**  
  Create videos from text, images or references with four new Kling 4.0 nodes. Edit existing clips, or combine a start frame with numbered image references.
- **New: Create and extend shots with Wan 3.0**  
  Create videos with Wan 3.0 and Prime using text, images or a mix of references. Choose dedicated nodes to edit or extend a clip, and select reference documents from your assets.
- **Fixed: Downstream runs reuse existing AI results until you explicitly rerun them**
- **Fixed: Compositor video exports complete without the packing worker error**

## October 24, 2026

  Drag tabs to reorder, join another pane, or split the workspace, with previews showing where they will land. Drag floating windows back into the workspace.
- **Improved: Tidy graphs while keeping their structure**  
  Press L to arrange your graph with clearer branches and spacing that fits your nodes. Use Adjust to fine-tune the layout, or Undo to return to where you started.
- **Fixed: Generators receive your updated composites after edits**

## October 22, 2026

  Large projects are now faster when you open folders, add or paste nodes, or move around the canvas.

## October 19, 2026

- **New: Fine-tune any number with press and hold**  
  Press and hold a number field or slider, then drag to choose a step and adjust. It works on a trackpad, with no middle button needed.
