We are happy to announce that MyDraw v5.0.0 has been officially released.

The new version brings many new features, optimizations and bug fixes.

Following is a brief summary of the MyDraw v5.0.0 new features and improvements:

300 + New Libraries

The new version of MyDraw comes with more than 300 Shape Libraries for different application fields. Libraries are also neatlyorganized depending on their field of application, so you can quickly locate the relevant shape library depending on you needs.

Thousands of New Shapes

MyDraw now contains thousands of vector-based shapes that are essential when creating professional-looking diagrams and drawings. With this vast amount of shapes, it is easy to create any type of diagram, drawing, presentation or document. Further, shapes in different libraries share common visual appearance so you can easily mix shapes from different libraries as well. All shapes can also be easily modified – you can just drag and drop them on the drawing view and edit them with a few clicks.

Redesigned Library Browser

The library browser is completely redesigned to provide better management and navigation through the hundreds of new shape libraries. The new version introduces a brand new Library Gallery, that allows you to browse through the hierarchically organized shape libraries. The functionality for searching for libraries and shapes is also significantly improved. Shape search results are organized in expandable groups thus allowing you to see results showing thousands of matching shapes. Besides for shapes, you can also search for libraries and library folders.

Hardware Accelerated Rendering

The new version includes a new hardware-accelerated rendering engine based on OpenGL. This allows MyDraw to show very complex shapes and drawings with ease. The entire UI is also hardware accelerated. This translates into a fluid and pleasant interaction with the program, that allows you to concentrate better on the current task.

20% Faster Startup of MyDraw

MyDraw startup processes are now significantly optimized, so you can expect an up to 20% faster startup. The Mac version also uses ahead of time compilation (AOT), which translates into an even faster startup on this OS.
