August–September 2026v2.4.8

Steady Releases

August and September were quieter months on the surface, but releases kept shipping: ten of them, from v2.3.9 on 7 August to v2.4.8 on 19 September. The biggest change was Redo. Undo had been in zStudio since early 2025, but now Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z, Cmd/Ctrl+Y or Edit → Redo brings back the moves, transforms, deletes and pastes you have just undone, and undo now covers orientation and alpha changes too. Drilling into a container now tints the stage background a little for each level, so you can tell at a glance how deep you are, and holding Space shows the hand cursor straight away rather than only once you start panning. zStudio also got better at stopping mistakes before they happen. You can no longer add a second asset inside a container that already holds an image, particle or Spine. Pasting scene data whose templates already exist in your library is refused with a message instead of overwriting them, and a tooltip confirms when you copy an asset's transform or text style. Newly imported Spine characters now appear in a visible pose instead of an empty setup pose, and Spine files without an atlas, broken particle JSON and unreadable folders are reported clearly instead of stopping a load. Crash reporting was refined so that an error repeating many times a second is only reported once. Following July's pricing change, the editor now leaves exports watermark-free by default, including when you are offline or signed out. The website's pre-rendering was tuned so search engines see the full content of every page. v2.4.8 also turned out to be the last Windows build for a while; Windows releases resumed in November.
