JMARS release 5.6.1.2
JMARS release 5.6.1.2 fixes a minor issue with shape layers and introduces a simpler way to draw and manage circles and ellipses. Default settings are now applied automatically, and a single updated dialog makes adjustments easier when needed.
Release 5.6.1.2
Shape Layer Improvements:
This update includes a fix and redesign to improve how circles and ellipses work in shape layers. While most users may not have noticed the issue, the changes make drawing and managing these shapes more intuitive and consistent.
What’s new:
-
Drawing circles and ellipses is now easier — default settings are applied automatically.
-
Shapes created from other sources (like stamps or read-only layers) will also use these default settings.
-
When extra setup is needed, a single updated dialog will guide you through both circle and ellipse options in one place.
