I noticed the behavior for the blend method list has changed (bug report). Thank you! Much easier to work with blend methods now I think!
Apart of this code change I didn’t remember have done anything to fix that 
I’ll check what you mean it is solved.

Well, it is working now! 
Hey Genete!
I’ve just tried quickly the rc2 to test the draw tool’s advanced outlines.
It’s really great, it behaves exactly (maybe even better) as I expected regarding the pressure, very good work!
(I’ll post a little anim using this cool feature as soon as I’ve a bit of free time, which is quite rare these days… )
Again many thanks to the few people maintaining this great software, I hope I’ll have more time to help you in a near future 
Yeah Synfig rocks!
I’m happy you liked it! Please be tunned to near release.
