The goal is to quickly fix bugs as soon as they appear, rather than letting them accumulate, and to offer stability fixes more quickly. From spring 2019, changes are made to the organization of updates, with the deletion of the CR, and the implementation of regular updates whose version numbers are even with patches, and more occasionally, odd versions adding features. The abandonment of the project led to the creation of numerous forks, several of which were eventually merged into that of Matthew Chang, resulting in the project now known as Pencil2D.
The original version of the software was called Pencil, created by Patrick Corrieri and Pascal Naidon in 2005, but was abandoned and discontinued in 2009. It allows saving the animations in its own native file format, as well exporting it as a sequence of images in PNG, JPEG, BMP or TIFF format, and also in a video file in AVI, MP4, WebM, GIF or APNG format. It is used for making cartoons using traditional techniques (tracing drawings, onion skinning etc), managing vector and bitmap drawings. It is released under the GNU General Public License and uses the Qt framework. Pencil2D is a free and open-source 2D animation software for Windows, macOS and Unix-like operating systems.
