### February 2021
***Watch the [project announcement presentation](https://youtu.be/Ea4Wt_FgEEw?t=564) and first month [project update presentation](https://youtu.be/gqCxt8XL92o?t=392) at the Rust Gamedev Meetup.***
*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#19](https://gamedev.rs/news/019/#graphite):*
After this month's Rust Gamedev Meetup announcement presentation where the Graphite vision has attracted tremendous interest, advice of the community has resulted in shifting the development strategy to focus on an MVP release as soon as possible, which has begun:
- The past year's in-development custom GUI has been shelved in lieu of an interim web GUI. Graphite intends to natively support Windows, Mac, Linux, and web. This change unblocks core application development but means Graphite is web-only until the Rust GUI ecosystem matures. Good progress this month has been made building a [Vue](https://vuejs.org/) web GUI.
- Graphite's MVP will now support only vector editing. This defers the large complexity of the graph render engine required for node-based raster editing. It should be less difficult to first focus on building a vector editor that improves upon the UX of other similar apps.
This image shows the current GUI implementation state of progress:

The current editor now has functional Select, Rectangle, and Ellipse tools thanks to the newly-added tool state machine and SVG viewport drawing. The UI now also implements tool-related icons and buttons, bringing it closer to parity with the design mockup. The team also set up a Web/Rust-WASM build system, GitHub CI to confirm PRs compile, and put together starter documentation for the codebase, UX design, and manual.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#21](https://gamedev.rs/news/021/#graphite):*
The team size has doubled in the past month — thank you to the new contributors! Since then, systems related to editor tools and data flow were added. The editor now has proper input behavior on the existing Rectangle and Ellipse tools plus the new Shape and Line tools while holding modifier keys. Pen tool implementation has begun, supporting polylines. Shapes are now drawn with live previews.
Additional work has gone into improving render performance, building the color system in the Rust backend, and adding initial support for displaying shapes in the Layers panel.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#22](https://gamedev.rs/news/022/#graphite):*
In the past month, new frontend features have mostly closed the gap for a visually complete UI while a major Rust backend refactor took place.
A new frontend system for floating menus was added to draw menus over the UI, like dropdown menu input widgets and popovers to display the new color picker. Also, the application menu bar was built with working buttons for the new Undo and Export SVG actions.
A large refactor in the Rust backend created a simpler communication strategy between all components in the software stack and a standard method of handling user inputs.
This image shows a famous art piece by Piet Mondrian replicated in Graphite with its latest UI:

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#23](https://gamedev.rs/news/023/#graphite):*
Since last newsletter, the editor has received the ability to select layers via the Layers panel and by clicking or dragging a box selection in the viewport. Selected layers can be deleted, duplicated, and copy/pasted.
It is now possible to create, edit, and close multiple documents in their own editor tabs. Additional frontend cleanup and polish has also improved many parts of the editor experience.
Lastly, support for transforms was added to the layers and document, paving the way for moving/scaling/rotating layers and the whole document within the viewport.
This artwork, created by Graphite community member BillyDM, won our first art contest:

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#24](https://gamedev.rs/news/024/#graphite):*
In the past month, the editor has gained numerous vector editing features, including moving layers with the keyboard or mouse, filling and copying colors, flipping and aligning selected layers, and setting blend modes and layer opacity.
Scrollbars, rulers, and thumbnails are now functional. Full screen support has been added, along with a hotkey to center the artwork. An options bar with tool-specific settings and actions has been implemented, currently allowing the number of sides of a polygon to be selected. The order of layers can now be changed using hotkeys.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#29](https://gamedev.rs/news/029/#graphite):*
This wraps up a productive month of features and stability improvements. Documents persist page reloads via IndexedDB browser storage. The Layers panel got some love. Vector anchor points can be dragged (beginnings of the Path/Pen tools). Per-tool footer bar hints teach possible user input actions. And a big code cleanup/refactor took place behind the scenes.
Additional new features and QoL improvements: artboards, panel resizing, the Navigate tool, outline view mode, support for touch input and non-Latin keyboards, an *About Graphite* dialog with version info, plus dozens of bugs and crashes were resolved.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#32](https://gamedev.rs/news/032/#graphite):*
With the completion of the initial node graph UX design, work has begun building the frontend and backend systems for the big leap to node-driven vector editing. This works by composing groups of Rust functions together at runtime and/or compile time. [Watch the (brief) talk](https://youtu.be/okWFrfaaADs?t=4014) about how the backend implementation works around challenges imposed by Rust.
New editor features this month include importing bitmap image layers and customizing stroke styling with dashed lines and rounded or beveled corners. The project website is also now mostly content-complete, including new node graph mockups.
This image shows the first full illustration drawn in Graphite, together with its latest UI:

April's development has focused on further editor features and UX improvements:
- **It's your type:** The Text tool now provides over 1400 fonts with bold/italic styles from the Google Fonts library.
- **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 targeting.
- **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 *File* menu dialogs.
- **Pack it up:** The web component of the stack was finally upgraded to Webpack 5 which cleans up a mess of outdated dependencies.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#42](https://gamedev.rs/news/042/#graphite):*
- **Picture this:** Imported images are now part of the node graph. The new *Image Frame* node converts bitmap data into a vector rectangle holding the image. This paves the way for other vector data like shapes and text to soon be converted into nodes and composited alongside images.
- **Instant iterations:** Incremental graph compilation avoids recompiling the whole graph each time an edit is made or a value changes. This makes iteration faster and enables caching of intermediate computations for faster rendering.

- **Scroll settings:** Scroll up-and-down, or zoom in-and-out, at your preference using the new configuration for scroll wheel behavior.
- **Graph growth:** Additional node graph engineering introduces graceful type checking and brings GPU-accelerated compositing closer to realization.

*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#44](https://gamedev.rs/news/044/#graphite):*
- **Vector nodes:** A major refactor moves vector shape layers into the node graph. Now the *shape*, *transform*, *fill*, and *stroke* are all set via nodes in the graph. Text is the final remaining holdout and will be node-ified next, letting the node graph act as the universal layer type.
This image shows the latest vector artwork created in Graphite, with a glimpse at the new node graph shown beneath for the selected layer:

### April 2023
***Watch the [project update presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrYO1gg7hX4) at the Rust Gamedev Meetup.***
*The following update originates from the Rust Gamedev Newsletter [#45](https://gamedev.rs/news/045/#graphite):*
- **Brushing up:** The new Brush tool makes it possible to paint raster-based art.
- **Writing down:** A refactor of the Text tool integrates typographic content in the node graph. Finally, all artwork types are node-based.
- **Showing true colors:** Node graph compositing now uses linear, not gamma, color. Key new color adjustment nodes are added.
- **Laying the groundwork:** Further engineering work prepares the node graph language for GPU execution. And development continues toward in-graph layer stack compositing.

### May 2023
***Watch the [project update presentation](https://youtu.be/1DiA3OYqvqU?t=1923) at the Rust Gamedev Meetup.***
- **GPU goodness:** The node graph engine now offers experimental GPU-powered execution using [WGPU](https://wgpu.rs/) and WebGPU in Chromium browsers. Computation is now decoupled from the editor for asynchronous, high-performance workflows. Early [rust-gpu](https://rust-gpu.github.io/) shader compilation is also supported.
- **A better brush:** The brush tool is now smoother and more responsive, with real-time performance and new eraser and blend modes for versatile raster editing.
