For full details, you can [check out the changelog](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md#2190-2021-10-17), here I'll stick to the highlights: + +## Lunetius, Tiberius, and Walburga + +[Lunetius](/designs/lunetius), [Tiberius](/designs/tiberius/), and [Walburga](/designs/walburga/) are three new patters from **Rika Tamaike** who is the latest addition to our growing team of designers. These are all historical pattern: + + - Lunetius is a lacerna, a historical Roman cloak + - Tiberius is a historical Roman tunic + - Walburga is a tabard/surcoat, a historical garment from medieval Europe + +I'm not much of a history buff myself, so I'm looking forward to see what these will look like when people are going to start making them. What I can say for sure is that all of these are pretty straight-forward, so they should be fun to make. + +## The Bee bikini + +Also new in this release is [Bee](/designs/bee/), a bikini pattern that you can pair with the [Ursula Undies pattern](/designs/ursula/). **Bobgeorgethe3rd** signed for the code, the design of the bikini was a collaboration with **PrudenceRabbit**. + +I'm hoping for some people in the Southern hemisphere to make this one because I suspect it might be a while before bikini weather returns to those of use living above the equator. + +This too is a fast and simple make, so go and check it out. + +## The versionfree-svg plugin + +This is a bit more under-the-hood stuff, but we've also published [plugin-versinofree-svg](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@freesewing/plugin-versionfree-svg), a new plugin that will strip the version information from FreeSewing's SVG output. + +This is handy because it allows diffing between different versions. By not including the version information, you can see what (if anything) has changed between different versions of a pattern, something we use ourselved in our QA pipeline. + +## Backported snap options from the v3 roadmap + +Speaking of under-the-hood, the [snap proposal](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/discussions/1331) on [our v3 roadmap](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/discussions/1278) was something we liked so much that we promptly backported it to v2, and it's already being used in different patterns. + +Have fun with the new patterns, and for feedback, questions, or suggestions, [come hang out with us on Discord](https://discord.freesewing.org).
