* Important note: This update removes support for Paper accounts to establish Legacy status and for migrating journals from previous generations of Paper (v1.0 - v3.6.10). Upgrading from those old versions will result in a loss of legacy content. Please export your content from Paper (v1.0 - v3.6.10) prior to upgrading to Paper 4.5.0. Upgrading from any 4.0+ versions (since Nov. 2017) is fully supported.
Bug fixes in this release:
- Zombie pages! Deleted pages in synced journals (on iOS 13) have been coming back from the grave. We found the antidote. Your sketches are safe.
- Default journal templates were vanishing when synced. Now those templates stay put.
