Changelog
What's changed since SVG Lab went live. Newest at the top.
SVG Lab is actively improving — expect frequent additions. Bugs surface and get patched the same week. The version pill in the editor statusbar always tells you the current build.

True mesh gradient + PostHog analytics
- Mesh gradient editor. Real per-node bilinear color blending, not the radial approximation we shipped first. Grid sizes from 2×2 up to 5×5, with color resampling when you change the grid size.
- PostHog product analytics wired in — cookieless, anonymous, no session recording. See the Privacy Policy for the full disclosure.

Five new shape tools + compound-path overhaul
- New shape tools: Triangle, Polygon, Star, Rounded Rectangle, Arrow — all with adjustable corner rounding via a slider in the properties panel.
- Text on Path rewrite: drag text along a path to slide it, toggle Above / Below, optional upside-down flip.
- Compound paths first-class everywhere: Knife, Smooth, Offset, Add/Delete Anchor, and Corner↔Smooth toggle all respect holes now (a donut with a hole stays a donut when you cut, smooth, or offset it).
- Symbol editing: detach an instance to edit it — when you re-make the symbol, every other instance in the document updates automatically.
- Code-panel import fidelity: pasting SVG into the live code panel now preserves gradients, patterns, filters, clip-paths, masks, symbols, and text-on-path bindings.
- Defs cleanup: deleting a shape now sweeps any orphaned gradients, patterns, filters, clips, or masks it referenced.

Milestone A — friends launch ready
- Sentry error monitoring — every JavaScript error and crash is now logged so we can find and fix things you'd never bother to report.
- In-app feedback widget (bottom-right of the editor) — type, hit submit, no email needed.
- Mobile touch support via Pointer Events, with a soft "desktop-first" gate banner on small screens.
- 4-panel onboarding modal for first-time visitors. Skippable. One-time.
- Examples menu with three preloaded designs so a fresh visitor isn't staring at an empty canvas.
- SVG favicon + Open Graph + Twitter Card meta tags — links to svglab.app now have a proper social preview.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics enabled (cookieless, privacy-respecting).
- Knife tool now respects shape rotation — tilted shapes cut at the right angle.
- Chained boolean operations now preserve holes from earlier operations.
