Released March 23, 2026

## [What's new](/content/docs/releases/1.3.1#whats-new/index.html)

- Added faster empty-editor entry points so you can jump straight to selecting a photo or importing the latest screenshot.
- Improved latest-screenshot detection when Shotwell looks for a recent screenshot to open.
- Removed WebP from export options. Public exports now use JPEG or PNG.
- Added dedicated gallery screens for history, stroke styles, and style presets with faster preview loading.
- Refined editor controls and screenshot-based defaults so new imports start from a cleaner baseline.
