Penpot 2.17: Background blur, smarter design tokens, and more  🔗 **Source:** [Penpot 2.17: Background blur, smarter design tokens, and more]() ## Highlights - Native effects remove round-trip work when designers can apply and inspect them in the main canvas. - Note: Literature atom: background blur moves into the native workflow. - Feedback moves faster when comments remain inside the artifact being reviewed. - Note: Literature atom: in-context review reduces switching. - A default-off beta separates field testing from broad exposure. - Note: Literature atom: WebGL remains opt-in while evidence accumulates. ## Links - [[3. Resources/Permanent Notes/Default-Off Feature Flags Decouple Shipping Speed From Production Risk]] — evidence-for: opt-in WebGL gathers field evidence without broad exposure. - [[3. Resources/Permanent Notes/The Design File as a Programmable Bidirectional Surface for Agents]] — applies-in: review and effects remain inside the shared artifact.
