Valentina 1.1.0 Is Here
It’s released. A while back we wrote about the update we’d been building toward for months — segment selection, a real dependency tree, editable group operations, and a rename system that no longer breaks your formulas. All of that is now in your hands, and it arrived with a lot of company: new curve and arc tools, finer control over seam allowances and notches, and a long list of smaller refinements.
This post is the full picture of what’s in 1.1.0. The big features from the preview are recapped briefly — head back to that post for the deep dive — and everything new gets its proper introduction here.
Please read the upgrade section at the end before opening your existing patterns. This release changes how curves are named, and the automatic conversion cannot get every case right on its own.
Valentina 1.0.4 Released
Valentina 1.0.4 is a small but worthwhile maintenance release that polishes how points look and behave on your drawing. It adds no new features — instead, it fixes two display problems that crept into the previous version and could make the canvas feel slightly “off”: points that showed up at the wrong size until you zoomed, and the gentle highlight that helps you find a point under your cursor going missing. If you installed 1.0.3, this update is especially for you. Everything you already do stays exactly the same — your patterns simply look right from the first moment, without you having to nudge the view to fix them.
Valentina 1.0.3 Released
Valentina 1.0.3 is a maintenance release that makes your everyday work calmer and more reliable. It does not add new features — instead, it removes a whole list of moments where the program could close unexpectedly, plus several small frustrations that slowed you down or showed you the wrong thing. If you have ever lost your place because Valentina or Tape shut down at the wrong moment, or felt that a panel “wasn’t keeping up” with your clicks, this update is for you. Everything you already do stays exactly the same — it simply works the way you expect, without the interruptions.
Valentina 1.0.2 Released
Valentina 1.0.2 is a maintenance release focused entirely on stability. It contains no new features — only targeted crash fixes and a visual correction that address issues reported by the community since 1.0.1. If you experienced any unexpected exit while working with undo, redo, or older pattern files, this update resolves that class of problem directly.
Valentina 1.1: The Update We've Been Building Toward for Months
This one is different. Most updates bring a handful of new tools and bug fixes. This release brings changes that reshape how you work with patterns at a fundamental level — things we have wanted to build since the very beginning, but only recently found the right way to do.
We know many of you have been waiting. This post is our way of walking you through what’s coming before it lands, so you are ready when it does.
Valentina 1.0.1 Released
Valentina 1.0.1 is a maintenance release that polishes the stability and reliability of the 1.0.0 milestone. It brings no new features — only targeted bug fixes and improvements that address issues reported by the community since the initial 1.0.0 launch.
Release Valentina 1.0
We’re thrilled to announce Valentina 1.0, a major milestone for our patternmaking software. This release brings a host of stability improvements, precision upgrades, UI enhancements, and expanded global support.

💻 System requirements for Valentina: what do you need for comfortable work?
Valentina is a program for creating parameterized patterns, which is actively used by seamstresses, fashion designers, pattern makers, and anyone else who works with clothing. To use the program without crashes or delays, it is important to know what system resources it requires.
In this article, we will take a detailed look at the minimum and recommended system requirements for running Valentina on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
We are changing the project support model
The Valentina project exists thanks to the community. But in order to develop further, we need more. An increase in the number of users does not always mean an increase in support. To ensure stable development, updates, user support, and the creation of additional materials, we are changing our funding model. Instead of scattered purchases and donations, we are moving to a transparent, fair, and effective subscription model that will allow each user to contribute to the future of the project.
Sunsetting macOS Support: A Difficult but Necessary Decision
After careful consideration, we have decided to sunset support for macOS in our project. This has been a challenging decision, but it’s one that has become increasingly necessary due to a variety of factors that have made maintaining the macOS version unsustainable.
