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.
Unveiling the Power of Single-Line Fonts in Valentina
In the world of digital design and manufacturing, single-line fonts, also known as engraving fonts, technical lettering fonts, or pen plotter fonts, have emerged as an essential tool for a specific purpose. These fonts diverge from the traditional outline or fill fonts, as they are designed with a single continuous line. Widely employed in CNC machining, laser cutting, and pen plotters, these fonts offer unique benefits that set them apart from their traditional counterparts.
Unveiling the New Look: Embracing Dark Mode in Valentina Project
Valentina 0.7.53 introduces a dark mode feature, which was a highly requested enhancement. The implementation involved customizing the user interface, incorporating built-in icon themes for Windows and macOS, and building a custom system to adapt the canvas-like scene to dark mode. Users can opt for explicit control over the dark or light themes, and the color schemes of the user interface and scenes can be customized by editing specific files. Valentina’s dark mode enhances the visual experience while maintaining the integrity of its functionality.
