New features

• Auto-layout helps you tidy up flowcharts with a single click.
• Boards now include a cross (✕) shape. Use it to mark rejected options, or highlight areas that need attention.

Improvements

• Other connectors no longer overlap connector labels.
• Annotations that overlap a frame or section are no longer cut off at the frame's edge.
• Copy as Mermaid now also supports sequence diagrams.
• Wireframe "Elements" are now called "Components". The component menu also has a cleaner, more compact layout.
• The settings page now uses sidebar navigation, and has a more condensed layout.
• Arrow keys now scroll in the natural direction. E.g., pressing the right arrow now scrolls the canvas right.
• AI features in Whimsical, including flowchart and mind map generation are now powered by Anthropic's Claude models. Your data is handled the same way as before.

Bug fixes

• Confluence embeds no longer show a blank screen or "failed to load content".
• Tables in boards now render correctly when embedded in Notion, Confluence, or other tools.
• Fixed a bug where connecting Whimsical to Notion would silently fail.
• Links to other files in embedded boards were not showing their icons and couldn't be clicked. Both are now fixed.
• When pasting spreadsheet data where a cell contained a line break, Whimsical was splitting it into two rows instead of keeping the content in one cell. This is now fixed.
• When a lot of people were in the same board, the collaborator list in the top bar couldn't be scrolled, and clicking "Follow" did nothing. Both are now fixed.
• Files deleted in bulk can no longer disappear from the trash before they're fully synced.
• Fixed several edge cases where email subscription settings could appear active but not actually work.
• Fixed Korean text input breaking in some cases.
