Aseprite v1.2.9 Jul 25, 2018

New Aseprite v1.2.9 was just released! In these months we have been releasing some beta versions and now this release includes all the changes from betas + some extra features.

Also some other important news: Now we are a team @dacap + @Gasparoken! Several bug fixes in this released are thanks to @Gasparoken. He will be working part-time fixing bugs on Aseprite and maybe in a future adding new features too.

Here a list of the most important changes since v1.2.8:
