    Presentation Mode

    Presentation mode has been redesigned to simply hide the UI and not go full screen (it also now works with tabbed windows).

    Plugins

    Plugins now update automatically within Sketch. Incompatible plugins will also be disabled so they don’t break Sketch.

    Vector Editing

    Smart guides are now shown when inserting points, allowing you to snap new points to existing points’ axes.

    The color popover is now scrollable, plus the color picker can now be collapsed, allowing more room for presets.

    • Plugins are now removed from the Plugins menu immediately after you disable them

    Symbols (and Groups) can now be configured to resize in a smarter way.

    Sketch Cloud

    Share your documents with the world with ease.

    Performance Updates

    Updates in the Canvas are much smoother and general performance has been improved as well.

    Image Fills

    A new Image Fill type has been added; Fit, to join Fill and Stretch.

    Other Enhancements (24)

    • Right-aligned text layers in Symbols with overrides now also move their trailing layers to make room for the overrides
