· Fixed TextSnap to work again with Internet Explorer 9 in "protected mode"
September 24th, 2012· Changed Stamps list to multi-selection. Hold Ctrl or Shift key while clicking on stamp names to select more than one, then click "Insert" or "Delete" button to insert/delete multiple stamps in one operation.
September 20th, 2012· Modified again the way copy/paste of image area works. Now again preserves the original position, unless the pasted fragment would fall entirely outside of the target image - in that case it goes to (0,0) of current selection.
· Added "Align" command for shapes to the "Edit" ribbon tab, and modified the way align works - it now shows and lets the user move a vertical or horizontal line to which the shapes should be aligned.
· Renaming an image from the thumbnails list (click the thumbnail, then click again the name below it to edit it) now also renames the file belonging to this image.

May 22nd, 2012· Modified "Display pixel size of the blinking rectangle during Window capture" option - it is turned off by default now. Press the - (minus or hyphen key) during window capture to turn on this display. It was causing trouble for some users.
May 15th, 2012Changes/new features:
· Display pixel size of the blinking rectangle during Window capture
· End region capture with 'C' key to copy color code (crosshair stage) or size (outline rectangle stage)
· Added an option for turning text smoothing off and on again for text and callout items.
· Changed the way Copy in HTML format works. Now if the image was previously saved in GIF/JPEG/PNG format, (including Quick Save upon new capture) and not modified, that file will be used in HTML code. Otherwise,
· a temporary file will be generated as before, but this time taking into account the format specification last used under File/Save As... - if that format was GIF or JPEG or PNG. Else HyperSnap auto-selects GIF or PNG.
Fixes:
· Move or delete selection - clears to background color but ignores transparency (alpha).
· Make a freehand selection and finish it, cursor still in freehand selection mode - Del and BS keys don't clear selected area.
May 7th, 2012· Bug fix - pressing Delete key on the keyboard not only deleted selected shapes, but also cleared the whole image to white (although this could be reverted with Undo operation). Now it works correctly.
May 3rd, 2012Changes and new features:
· Dragging corners of pasted image by default now preserves proportions of the image. Hold Shift for unrestricted scaling of such images. Or hold Ctrl key while dragging corners of other object to preserve their proportions.
· Changed the way area selections work (both rectangular and freehand selection). Making these selections with Ctrl key down, selects only shapes. Without Ctrl pressed, the underlying image area is selected and the shapes are drawn on top of this selection. The selection object then floats above all other objects, so it's easier to see, move, edit.
Issues fixed:
· Double click the last added text item, while the cursor is still in text mode, does not start text editing
· Upon start of a text edit operation the window was still showing the OK button as a default button, activated by pressing Enter key, while in fact Enter produces new lines in the edited text.
· Area select and move it - cannot select another area close to it before first imprinting the previous one.
· Freehand area selection - switch to other image and back - transparency lost, no matter if moved or not.
· Windows explorer thumbnails no longer worked on 64-bit systems.
· There should be a way to scale selection without moving it first - there is now, right-click, choose
· "convert selection to an object" and then scale.
April 23rd, 2012Fixes:
· Marking stamps for auto-insert damaged stamp files
· Auto-inserting stamps with "underlay" (emboss) style did not work correctly

· Zoom up above 400% and down twice permanently hid objects drawn over the image. Now they are shown back if they were visible before the zoom
· Rectangular selection, immediatelly after drawing it first and releasing the mouse button, was scaled instead enlarged when dragging its corners or mid-section handles. Now it willbe scaled only if you move it _and_ click outside to de-select it, then select again
April 20th, 2012Fixes:
· Hang on region capture or crop functions under Win7 on some machines.
· Marking stamps for auto-insert damaged stamp files

April 19th, 2012New features:
· "W" key during region capture and similar functions toggles cross-hair or selection box line width between 1, 3, 5 and 7 pixels - wider lines are sometimes needed for visually impared.
· Images pasted on the current picture in HyperSnap 7 window, and stamps without text, are now scaled bigger/smaller if you start dragging corners of them.
· The rectangular area selection, after it's moved and de-selected, then selected again, is now scaled when dragging its corners, instead just enlarging the selection area.
Bugs fixed:
· Pasting images copied from another HyperSnap window on a current image, would always paste at top left, instead of at selection top left.
· Drawing lines and other objects - if released left mouse button while mouse was beyond HyperSnap drawing area, the object would disappear.
· Right-click on thumbnails and choosing "Save Selected" - "to a single file..." then cancelling - caused that only TIFF and PDF formats were available under the regular File/Save As...
· F1 key in region capture and similar functions to toggle zoom/help was not working correctly (bringing up help window etc.)
· When zoom mode was set to "Auto", clicking on the magnifying glass in ribbon interface up right did nothing
· When adding text, it was not possible to start dragging text outline rectangle over an object drawn before, unless these object were "imprinted" on the underlying image.
· Copying an image with 8 bits per pixel color resolution and pasting it back into HyperSnap 7 caused color reversal - blue to read etc.
· Copying image with color resolution reduction to 8, 4 or 1 bits per pixel was incorrect.
· Thumbnails were not always updated when adding, moving shapes.

February 28th, 2012· Fix to copy/paste images with transparent background color - the older version did not respect color transparency setting and would always paste as non-transparent.
February 23rd, 2012· Text drawing mode modified - now leaves the new text item just created "selected" with resizing handles visible and active. If you move mouse over this item, you may move and resize it at once, double-click to edit again etc. If you move mouse over image space empty of other drawn object, the mouse cursor is still in new test creation mode as before. Some users were confused and thought they can no longer resize text items created, this should make it much easier
· Some small bug fixes - e.g. arrow head size was not always shown correctly under certain zoom levels etc
February 17th, 2012· Fixed COM server in HyperSnap 7 (for OLE Automation program control of HyperSnap, not important for regular use)
February 16th, 2012· Upload to ImageShack.us added to "File" menu, and also right-click on the thumbnails list offers a batch upload of all selected images.

July 29th, 2011· Many users were confused about how selection works in HyperSnap 7 (rectangular and free-shape selection), so changed that. Now these tools are enabled all the time. If there are any un-selected shapes within the selected area, the shapes are added to selection. If no new shapes are added, instead an area of the underlying image is selected and can be moved, scaled, rotated, or deleted to clear that area to the current background color.
