Core

First release of U++ that requires C++17
Moveable concept redesigned with C++17 features. U++ now allows non-moveable types to be stored in Vector flavor of containers (using Upp::is_upp_guest). PODs are automatically moveable (aka trivially relocatable)
Upp::Tuple now supports structured binding
GetFileTime, GetFileLength, FileExists, DirectoryExists and FileMapping refactored
Stream::GetAll now invokes LoadError on negative count
ValueCache limits setting methods are simplified
Value now directly supports 'float' type
Some iffy code now made more C++ compliant (e.g. always using memcpy for unaligned data)
AsXML had new XML_ESCAPELF
Improved DarkTheme function

plugin/Zip

zip64 support

Draw

UHD image now can serve as source for SD image
New S3 .iml image flag - the images are drawn supersampled 3x, usually without antialiasing, and only downsampled at runtime

Painter

Multithreaded rendering further optimised
New image filtering parameter - so far, rendering image was always with bilinear filtering, new parameter allows other Image filter like Lanczos 3

CtrlCore

Horizontal mouse scroll wheel support
CtrlMapper now provides operator()(Ctrl, T, const T& factor) for simple unit conversions
gtk backend improvements, XWayland mouse cursor bug workaround

CtrlLib

CtrlMapper now provides operator()(Ctrl, T, const T& factor) for simple unit conversions

ide

Icon Designer refactored and optimised, new tools added, S3 flag support added
Alt-M now goes to special scratchpad file of the same type as is current file, this is helpful e.g. for temporary storing and editing parts of .iml images that are then composed to the final image.
Output directory in assembly definition now can be left empty and defaults to reasonable path.
Hexadecimal view is now much faster
Fixed further corner case Assist++ problems
Layout designer text field, used with e.g. Labels, now has Qtf button to edit text with RichEdit
