Breaking

- Sprites placed on maps, with or without an animation, edited in a popover beside the sprite [Place Sprite]
- Map Objects and Map Sprites docks, selected together with the place tools
- Undo and redo for pixel, map, colour, tile, sprite and animation edits [Edit menu]
- Rectangle, filled rectangle and circle tools
- A Map toolbar with layer visibility, viewport, background, transparency and snap

- Installers: a Windows installer and portable zip, signed and notarised macOS disk images for Apple Silicon and Intel, a Linux AppImage, a Debian package and an Arch package
Fixed
- Crashes when saving a project with a palette-less sprite bank, image or tile set, and when using tile ids with a placed animation
- Map editing drew, pasted and placed on hidden layers
- Loading a project leaked memory for every archive entry, and deleted inserted tiles leaked
- The map Pick tool did not return to the previous tool, and deleting the last animation frame showed the first
- Save, new project and export messages were garbled
