It's been over three months without new features. A friend asked: "Did you run away?" "Haha, of course not!"

The developer uses "LiteMark" almost every day: teaching parents how to use "Yueshengshi," writing client delivery manuals, creating social media graphics... The slow updates are partly because the app is already quite polished, and partly because the developer recently took on two small projects to make ends meet.

Thanks for your patience—this update brings two highly practical features: Area Shapes and Canvas Search.

👷 Area Shapes

After suggestions from two civil engineer buddies, we've added an "Area" shape specifically for marking irregular regions. Features:

• At least 3 vertices to easily outline zones

• "Add" button between edges to insert new vertices

• Draggable/deletable vertices (tap to reveal "Delete Vertex" button)
  Use cases: Blueprint annotations, construction site photos...
  💡 Slightly more complex than other shapes. To delete, select the shape and use the toolbar’s "Delete" button (or "Del" key on web).

🔍 Canvas Search

Too many canvases to navigate? Now with keyword search!

• Matches canvas names + notes (highlighted in results)

• How to set names/notes:

  • Click 🛈 (Canvas Info) in the editor

  • Or rename canvases/folders directly

• Search via the magnifying glass button in the history panel

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issues where some "Global Settings" options didn’t apply

📢 Coming Soon

Image Cropping Tool, Already in late-stage development and testing!

The previous version did not handle the optimization of dragging performance properly, causing confusion in the touch and click states of the canvas and introducing a critical BUG. Please make sure to update to this version.

Thank you to many friends for your very detailed feedback 🌹.

🐞 Urgent Fixes:

1. When using two fingers to operate the canvas, the touch state management would malfunction, making the canvas unusable. Please upgrade to this version.

2. Fixed the issue where cloud canvas covers could not be generated correctly.

📢 Coming Soon:

1. The next version will introduce a new "Area" shape for annotating irregular regions. Stay tuned!

This update fixes a persistent bug, and we've changed to a new image storage provider as part of the solution. Users of the cloud canvas feature MUST update to this version—otherwise, image display and upload will not work!

🐞 Bug Fixes

1. To resolve the issue of images not rendering when exporting the canvas, we've switched to a more performant and stable image storage service.

🥰 Thanks

Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and assisted remotely in reproducing them!
