# Release notes

### **Filename on hover**
Hold Option while hovering over an image to reveal its complete filename in a floating capsule below the image. The label remains upright and readable at every canvas zoom level and stays within the current window.

### **Image actions**

- Images now have a right-click context menu with:
- Rotate Clockwise
- Rotate Counterclockwise
- Flip Horizontal
- Flip Vertical
- Reveal in Finder

The same commands are available from the Selection menu. Right-clicking an image outside the current selection selects only that image; right-clicking an already selected image preserves the group.

### **New shortcuts:**

- ⌘R — Rotate Clockwise
- ⇧⌘R — Rotate Counterclockwise
- ⌘F — Flip Horizontal
- ⇧⌘F — Flip Vertical

Transforms are saved with the board, leave the original files unchanged, and can be reversed with ⌘Z using the existing capped history.

### **Built-in update checks**

ImageCanvas can now check the latest stable GitHub Release from ImageCanvas → Check for Updates…. Checks occur only when requested—there are no background requests, credentials, or telemetry.

For automatic installation, ImageCanvas verifies:

- GitHub’s published SHA-256 digest
- the ImageCanvas bundle identifier
- the release version and build
- the app bundle and executable structure
- the ad-hoc signature structure
