Hey everyone. We've got another exciting update for you this week. This includes a new homepage with a public gallery, as well as a few new brushes on your brush list.

Homepage and Public Gallery
We've been seeing some amazing art being posted by the Magma community and we want the rest of you to be able to see that too. So, now we've introduced the Homepage with a public gallery. This will show the latest gallery posts made by the Magma community from across the globe, as well as a Featured section with artworks recommended by the Magma team.

You will also notice that this also has a list of the most active live Art Jams. This replaces the panel that was appearing in your Artdesk before, and frees up valuable space for you to easily navigate through your drawings.

A few new brushes
We've heard your requests for new brushes and added two new categories to the brush list: Marker and Rake. It's been great to see a couple of our beta testers already testing them out. Take a look at what Sad Banana (left) and Cybernaut (right) did with them already:

Along with these, we've added a few others such as:
Egg 2 - a slight variation on a community favorite;
Egg Opacity - another variation for sketching out paintings;
Round Opacity - simply a round brush with pressure opacity on;
Square - a shape we had available but with no brush preset yet;
and Chalky 2 - updated to have pressure opacity on by default.
Bug fixes and other updates
As always, there are bugs sneaking around that we try to fix with each update. Thank you to all who report these issues to us and help to improve the Magma experience:
Multiboard bug fixes;
various bug fixes and performance improvements behind the scenes.

As always, feel free to send us your Feature Requests in Magma to let us know. If you have any questions, reach out to us on Discord or send us a message.
