Version Compatibility #
This add-on was created at an early Blender version (3.3), since when Blender has made several major updates of Grease Pencil. This add-on aims to be compatible with all Blender stable releases and maintains a similar user experience across different Blender versions. However, there are still a few considerations about version compatibility.
One of the initial purposes of this project was to provide some essential vector graphics editing features, which were absent in early versions of Grease Pencil. However, Grease Pencil has become much more feature-rich nowadays, with its native functionalities gradually overlapping with the add-on operators. To avoid the confusion, the following table lists all such functionalities. For users of newer versions of Blender, this table may help to make comparisons and determine whether to use the add-on or native tools. For older versions of Blender, the listed add-on operators will still be maintained in the long term.
| Add-on Functionality | Native Functionality | Release Version |
|---|---|---|
| Hole Holdout | Join Fills | Blender 5.1 |
| Boolean Eraser | Carver Tool | Blender 5.3 |
| Interactive Smart Fill | Fill Tool: Delaunay Solver | Blender 5.2 |
| Interactive Smart Fill | Multi-Region Fill | Blender 5.3 |
| Roll the View / Reset Roll | Roll / Reset Roll | Blender 5.3 |
Another concern about version compatibility is the major update of Grease Pencil during Blender 4.3 and 4.4.
