Excalidraw 2.6.3-beta-2

New

• PDF++ cropping support improved. This will not apply to old cut-outs. Now if you select a crop area in PDF++, you can easily adjust in Excalidraw.
• There is a new command palette action to Insert last active PDF page as image into the Scene. The way this is intended to work is that you have a PDF document open in one pane and Excalidraw in another, as you scroll the PDF view you can use a hotkey (or the command palette) to insert the relevant active page to Excalidraw. Then you can crop it in Excalidraw. The cropping will show up in PDF++

Excalidraw 2.6.3-beta-1

Fixed

• text wrapping fix trailing line whitespaces layout shift #8714
• Reset aspect ratio and set to 100% of original size command palette actions will now work correctly with cropped images
• Cropping Excalidraw drawings, then changing the cropped drawing will now work, albeit it is impossible to come up with an intelligent algorithm to maintain the right crop location. For this purpose I recommend the area, group, frame links.

Refactoring

• Excalidraw.com made further changes to font loading. Hopefully these will have no unexpected impact in Obsidian #8693
• Text wrapping #8715

Excalidraw 2.6.2

Fixed

• Text tool did not work in pen-mode using finger #2080
• Pasting images to Excalidraw from the web resulted in filenames of "image_1.png", "image_2.png" instead of "Pasted Image <>" #2081

Excalidraw 2.6.0

Performance

• Much faster plugin initialization. Down from 1000-3000ms to 100-300ms. According to my testing speed varies on a wide spectrum depending on device, size of Vault and other plugins being loaded. I measured values ranging from 84ms up to 782ms #2068
• Faster loading of scenes with many embedded illustrations or PDF pages.
• SVG export results in even smaller files by further optimizing which characters are included in the embedded fonts. #8641
