Aseprite v1.2.30 and v1.3-beta7 Oct 26, 2021

Today we are releasing Aseprite v1.2.30 and v1.3-beta7 with several bug fixing and new scripting capabilities for future extensions (WebSocket, events, experimental debugger)

We welcome Joshua Ogunyinka to the team who is helping us with Aseprite development since August fixing several issues for this release and who is working in future PSD support. We also thanks external contributors that help us to advance in unexpected areas (e.g. WebSockets) that will bring infinite new possibilities to create future Aseprite extensions.
