Skia, RTTI, and C++ exceptions Jun 27, 2018
If you are going to use the static version of the Skia library in your program, and you use C++ exceptions as your error handling mechanism, you might have problem in your hands (mainly in your macOS port).

New source code license Sep 1, 2016
Personal note: I’m not a native English speaker, this post might contain mistakes, typos, etc. I’ve written it as fast as possible.
From Aseprite v1.1.8 the program source code license has changed from the GPLv2 to a new EULA that still gives you the possibility to compile and modify the program for your own purposes, but it doesn’t allow you to redistribute Aseprite.

Forward Compatibility Jul 1, 2016
The next Aseprite version (v1.2-beta1) will contain a new feature to create layer groups, which aren’t supported on v1.1. My plan is to release Aseprite v1.1.6 with some forward compatibility: It is a way to load the new

The Tool Loop Jun 6, 2015

Migration problems from Google Code to GitHub Aug 20, 2014
Today we can say good bye to Google Code. Finally.
We’ve migrated all issues to GitHub. The first attempt of migration was a complete disaster. Sure, we tested the migration with some dummy accounts/projects, but real problems appear when you try your migration script with your project repository.

Big changes without short-term benefits May 2, 2014
Last year we were making a lot of refactoring tasks. As you know, improving code doesn’t affect users in a direct way (and that sucks) but anyway these changes are good for our future (or should be).

Why? Aug 13, 2013

Welcome to Aseprite development Apr 1, 2013
Hello everybody! In this blog I’ll try to give you some ideas about what kind of problems you can face when you are developing graphic software.
