Starting from this version, when you continue drawing away from another drawing, you'll create a separate object. This way, you're able to doodle or annotate while still keeping your canvas nice and tidy.
And for those of you who liked to do all sorts of tricks the old way, no worries! You can disable this new feature in Settings.
