</blockquote>
<p>As well as details from the developmental release:</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>Tinting Layers</h5>
<p>Layers can now be tinted by multiplying their pixels with a color. This way you can darken or colorize your graphics in various ways without needing to set up separate images for it! The new “Tint Color” property is supported on tile layers, object layers and image layers, and is inherited from group layers.</p>
<h5>Object Alignment</h5>
<p>Ever since tile objects were added as a feature, their alignment has been <a href="https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/issues/91">inconsistent with the other shapes</a>. Whereas a rectangle had its origin in the top-left, tile objects had their origin in the bottom-left (or even bottom-center, on isometric maps). While useful in some contexts, this inconsistency has annoyed many people over the years.</p>
<p>Now, a new tileset property specifies which alignment to use for tile objects using that tileset. If you set it to top-left, the tile objects will align consistently with the other objects. But of course you could also choose for bottom-center or center alignment depending on your needs.</p>
<h5>Object Reference Properties</h5>
<p>This change is a big step towards the <a href="https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/issues/707">Connecting Objects</a> feature, which is planned for Tiled 1.4. You can now choose “object” as the type when adding a custom property, and the property will be interpreted as a reference to an object on the map, referring to it by its unique ID. A special dialog makes it easy to search for the object you want to refer to and the name of the referenced object will be displayed.</p>
