We’ve expanded the outline features in the text tool to support “centered” and “outer” outline directions, in addition to the existing “inner” outline.

I know this was brought up as a limitation when the outline feature was originally introduced in 3.0, and this update seems to address the limitation and make this a viable feature that I will probably actually use now instead of my current workaround for outlining text!

Nice! I'll be updating it soon to give it a try!!

Making 3.0 was long, painful process (developers usually more enjoy creating new features rather than migrating the fundamental framework). But it brought its fruits and now there is rapid development cycles, like this one 🥰 Great job!

Is there an alpha mask for filter effects yet? I'd like to paint effects regions as if on a layer mask.
