Globestudio changelog https://globestudio.app/changelog Recent shipped work in Globestudio — new presets, polish, infrastructure, and first-visit experience. en-us Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Launch hardening https://globestudio.app/changelog https://globestudio.app/changelog#launch-hardening Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT
  • Shader-on-background composite actually paints — it sampled transparent black in every "Skip" state
  • PNG export matches the canvas — solid background composited in, aspect/size honored via center-crop
  • Share links round-trip exactly — view mode, projection, rivers, and cities travel with the URL
  • Embed params clamp to studio ranges (a stray density crashed the embed) + ?background= works
  • MCP share/embed URLs decode correctly — a contract test runs every URL through the app's own parser
  • Mobile: looks bar shows in the collapsed-sheet peek, no more iOS focus auto-zoom
  • Off-screen shader backdrops pause; animated chrome respects prefers-reduced-motion
