### [Graphite][graphite-website]

![Graphite](graphite.png)

Graphite is an in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor that is free
and open source. It will be powered by a node graph compositing engine that
supercharges your layer stack, providing a completely non-destructive editing
experience.

The past month's Sprint 14 has focused on further editor features and UX
improvements.

#### It's your type

The Text tool now provides over 1400 font families from the Google Fonts
library plus bold and italic styles.

#### Oh snap!

A refactor and polish pass on the snapping system provides better clarity and
consistency. And shapes now have outlines on hover and selection for easier
selectability.

#### Have a dialog

Supported by a refactor that moved dialog layouts into the Rust backend, users
can now create new documents of specified sizes and export artwork as PNG/JPG
with new dialogs in the File menu.

#### Pack it up

The web component of the stack was finally upgraded to Webpack 5 which cleans
up a mess of outdated dependencies.
