https://peertube.kaleidos.net/videos/watch/caf45254-b611-43c6-a142-319b1a47d399 Penpot 2.17 is here, and background blur — one of the most requested effects on the roadmap — has finally landed. This release also makes design tokens more visible and responsive, keeps pushing WebGL rendering forward, makes MCP easier to connect, and lets you use comments while you design. In this video we walk through every highlight: blurring layers directly on the canvas for frosted-glass surfaces and stronger depth, reading and replying to comments without leaving your design, the prototype viewer moving to the same WebGL rendering engine, the new MCP connection status button and more reliable sync for AI-assisted workflows, and a faster, clearer Design sidebar for typography tokens. There's also a long list of performance improvements and bug fixes across the board, making Penpot feel faster, clearer, and more reliable overall.
