Sketch 3.6 is already here, and it comes with better text rendering and SVG improvements. This update is free for existing Sketch users, so yeah, you have no reason not to download it.
But just in case you are wondering what can Sketch 3.6 do for you, well, here it is!
Sketch 3.6 now comes with better rendering for text layers — when you add a text layer, the line height is now automatically adjusted. You can also set the character spacing to auto — this is allow the font’s native kerning to be applied. Definitely a handy feature when you want automatically adjusted spacing for your text layers!
Furthermore, you can now create Masks in a more intuitive manner. Sketch 3.6 also comes with better SVG handling. Consider this:
Sketch now exports much more compact SVG files, by doing away with unnecessary prefixes. In addition, SVG importing and exporting now supports blend modes and includes shadows on groups when exporting.
Even more so:
You will notice better performance when zooming, scrolling, and moving shapes and Artboards in the Canvas. This is especially true when using large documents or when working with an external display. This update also boosts general drawing performance and reduces CPU power consumption.
High-DPI images are now automatically scaled down to a logical size.
Sketch 3.6 also offers many bug fixes and other minor tweaks. It requires Mac OS 10.10 or higher to run.
