- Flipping link layers don't rasterize them anymore.
Tools:
- Flip tool: up/down and left/right keys can now be used to flip items
respectively vertically or horizontally.
- Crop tool: the tool now adds an alpha channel to a layer under the
following conditions:
1) "Selected layers only" is checked
2) "Allow growing" is checked
3) "Fill with" is set to transparency
4) The crop rectangle is larger than the width or height of the layer
5) The layer does not already have an alpha channel.
- Shear tool: arrow keys support to adjust the shear: left/right move
the shear on the X axis, up/down move the shear on the Y axis.
By default, it moves one pixel at a time. If you hold shift (similar
to the move tool), it moves based on the slider's page increment
setting (factoring in the current zoom).
