Today we’re releasing a new version with an important fix for a crash using reference layers (you should update your version), and a couple of new features:

- Added new _Edit \> Paste Special_ options to paste the clipboard content into a new sprite or layer:
  - _Edit \> Paste Special \> Paste As New Sprite_ ([#1024](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1024), [#1618](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1618))
  - _Edit \> Paste Special \> Paste As New Layer_ (`Ctrl+Shift+V`) ([#672](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/672))
  - _Edit \> Paste Special \> Paste As New Reference Layer_ ([#1748](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1748))

- Added _Layer \> New… \> New Layer Via Copy/Cut_ options to convert the selection into a new layer (`Ctrl+J`/`Ctrl+Shift+J`) ([#1567](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1567))
- Fixed crashes using Reference Layer or Import Sprite Sheet (reported via email with several .dmp files, and [Steam forum](https://steamcommunity.com/app/431730/discussions/2/1639789306556695980/), [#2096](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/2096), etc.)
- macOS: Fixed showing file name extension on native file selector ([#1835](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1835), thanks to [@kawa-yoiko](https://github.com/kawa-yoiko))
- macOS: Fixed `Command+Z`/`X`/`C`/`V`/`A` keyboard shortcuts on native file selector ([#1973](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1973), thanks to [@kawa-yoiko](https://github.com/kawa-yoiko))

Is there a way to easily update the compiled version of Aseprite, or do I need to completely re-compile it?

You have to recompile it (maybe not the whole process, e.g. Skia is not updated on every version, and you can just update your Git clone of Aseprite and see if the `ninja` command works).

I love the new paste specials, thank you for the update! 😃

Also, is there any news about “MoveMask” working from scripts? I suppose it was harder to fix than it appeared at first time ^\_^U

You are the best! Ánimoo! 😃

P.S.(For non-Spanish speakers): “ánimo” doesn’t translate well to English, but it means something similar to “hang in there”.

I wasn’t able to even see the `MoveMask` command yet 😢 It will take some time because the `MoveMask` command is related to the interactive part of the editor, so we should split the command into two parts: the non-UI part and the UI/editor part (it requires some internal rearrangement of code).

I got the 1.2.13-1 build from humble and it seemed to install fine on my linux mint 19 but the application doesn’t load. Reinstalling didn’t fix the problem, I’ve had to uninstall and revert to 1.2.12.1-1. Are there logs or anything that would be helpful to you?

@Danny you could try to execute the application from a terminal and see the output it prints. For example, you could try to open the Linux Mint terminal, and run the `aseprite` (or `/usr/bin/aseprite`) command (it should print the error in the console, maybe a library is missing, etc.).

@dacap sorry, i guess i’d downloaded the 32bit version by mistake this time and didn’t have all the dependencies

There is no ETA yet, and not sure what file formats will be supported in the first version (maybe something compatible with Tiled)
