1.7.8 - 2026.03.26

Small update to work in some excellent suggestions from Patreon Supporters.

• Relaxed the constraints of culling helper that handles loading and unloading Items from the viewport. This will help prevent Items from suddenly popping out or in when zooming.
• Revamped the way "Fullscreen" works. Now there are essentially two distinct modes:
  • Fullscreen Snap - makes the MB window as big as possible at all times without covering the right-hand buttons or panel. Dynamically resizes if expanded.
  • Custom - Allows user to size and position the window as they see fit.
• Retooled the way label placement is calculated when resizing Items. This resolves an issue with Labels getting suddenly relocated and placed inside Items.

1.7.1 - 2026-03-07

Bugfix

Refactored my incredibly hacky fix for keypress event consumption. This was preventing certain keys being registered while the module was open and active.

Whatever

I also removed some old console output regarding early version migrations.

1.7.0 - 2026.02.26

New Features

• Module Window now remembers last size, location, pan, and zoom level.
• Multiple multiple-item enhancements

• Image Items now have Text Labels that can be positioned, rotated, colored, etc. and move relative to their parent.
• Foundry Native Items dragged to the board now get Text Labels.
• Text Items now have a foreground and background color.
• Connections can now look more "realistic" (on/off toggle in board settings)
• Polaroid frames are back for Image Items
• Some simple Fastener type variations. (click the pushpin button repeatedly to change)

Fixes

• Connections
  • More accurate detection when right-clicking a Connection to modify.
  • Should now reliably connect every time when dragging to connect.
• Resizing is more reliable now as I have transitioned away from default Item sizes in favor of a more freeform method.

Fixes

Changed Stuff IMPORTANT!

New Stuff

• Groups are now in Murder Board! Select a bunch of stuff and use the context menu option to Group them. Or use one of the new shortcuts (see below).
• Font selection dropdown added to all relevant Item context menus.

New Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Ctrl+C - Create connections between selected items
• Ctrl+D - Duplicate selected items
• Ctrl+G - Toggle group/ungroup selected items
• G - Toggle group border visualization

Technical Improvements

• Fixed (hopefully) canvas artifact issue on certain setups.
• Canvas renderer enhancements for group border rendering
• Enhanced error handling and logging
