    Common Colors

    The common colors in your document appear automatically in the inspector for quick access.

    Unlimited Fills

    Previously each layer was limited to four fills, now you can have as many as you want.

    Improved Noise

    Noise is now a separate fill, with different noise patterns, variable intensity and blending options.

    Bitmap Editing

    Our new bitmap editing UI includes tools for selection, cropping, filling, and vectorizing.

    Vector Modes

    Vector editing has been simplified and its UI streamlined.

    Text Lists

    Sketch now also supports basic text lists; numbered and bulleted lists are supported with more to come.

    Improved Mirror

    Sketch Mirror has been updated with smarter resizing and scaling, more reliable networking, and other bug fixes.

    Presentation Mode

    Sketch goes full screen, hiding all the UI. Present your work without distractions.

    Improved SVG/PDF Support

    We’ve done a lot of work on SVG, PDF and EPS importing and we’ve made significant improvements.

    More Templates

    Sketch now ships with iOS and web design templates with useful symbols and styles to get you started quickly.

    Scripting

    Improved scripting support with more APIs exposed, a javascript wrapper and better debugging.
