• Fixed - Undoing more than half the saved steps and then painting new strokes and then undoing those could result in incorrect image data placed on the canvas.
• Fixed - When using Undo and then drawing new strokes memory was not freed as early as it could have been.
• Fixed - Autosave interval was alway set to 5 minutes for the first save regardless of what the preference option was set to.
• Fixed - For random brush generation when a brush effect is locked that normally wouldn't be used for random brush generation a valid random brush was never created.
