This update improves the core VelNotes writing experience, import/export quality, and reliability. • Pen and text style panels now open as cleaner edge-docked professional panels. • Popovers and tool surfaces have been rebuilt for smoother, more polished motion. • PDF import now uses more consistent page sizing, preserves orientation more reliably, and avoids incomplete imports. • Export quality options are now available: Small, Balanced, and Print. • Text boxes now have improved style presets, advanced formatting, and color controls. • Apple Pencil Pro squeeze, barrel roll, and haptic settings have been expanded. • Sharing, invitation inboxes, free-plan limits, and sync messaging are clearer. • Email verification, password reset, and backend cleanup flows are more resilient. • General performance, rotation behavior, page transitions, and visual consistency have been improved.
