Old miniPaint was different, what was changed and why?

There was many changes from v3 (old vesion) to v4 (new version), but bigest diffrences are these:

  • v3 - Destructive editing: everything was saved on canvas, rotating object 999 times means loosing probably 90% quality, all actions was done on canvas, that was already edited before. Memory problems: old version was using too much memory, it was not possible to open big images at all. Also it was hard to extend app, add new features.
  • v4 - App engine was updated. Everything is saved in memory (config.layers). And rendered from memory to screen. Non destructive editing, rotating object 999 times means loosing ... 0% quality, because most actions are done on original object. (exceptions are some effect, since they are slow). v4 use less memory and its is faster. It was build using webpack, which allows to have clean and fast code.
