We are catching up with monthly status posts after missing last month.

🌷 Spring Release

This month we launched the CryptPad Spring 2026 release (2026.5.0) with some improvements to the Diagram app among other fixes.

The diagram now defaults to a simpler user-interface theme called "sketch". This makes Diagram shine as an infinite canvas whiteboarding app by highlighting only a few keys features such as shapes, arrows, and freehand drawing. For the uses that require full bells and whistles, such as the many shape libraries available, we include a menu to switch between 3 themes.

We added additional fixes for office documents and user-registry/SSO in a 🌷🩹 Spring fix release (2026.5.1).
