Penultimate 3.2 is out today, and boy is it a doozy. We’ve taken a huge bunch of time-saving functionality and rolled it all into one power productivity update. Without further ado:

• We have a very cool new scissors tool. Use it to move/cut/copy/paste ink around pages and between pages and notebooks. Just drag around the ink you want to move— it’s very intuitive and not restrictive like a rectangle would be. Drag to move the selection, tap it for Cut & Copy options.


• More colors! They are: Summer Squash Yellow, Vertigo Orange, Japanese Eggplant Purple, and Very Nearly White, the last of which is great for marking up photos. All very classy. You can take these colors anywhere.


• Mix-n-Match papers within a notebook! Now you can finally build real photo albums, datebooks, mixed project notebooks, and more. Choosing a paper now applies to the page you’re on.


• Moving pages! A longstanding user request, the page browser now offers a “Move To” function for individual pages, or multiple ones. You can push them into any other notebook, or use them to create a fresh notebook.


• Duplicate full notebooks, or merge one notebook entirely into another.


• Want to change the title of the notebook you just created? Now you can tap the title in the toolbar to edit it.

Many of the features we’re launching today are fan favorites; serious users will be able to organize better and work more effectively. And the colors and scissors tool open up whole new creative avenues for everyone.

Penultimate is compatible with the upcoming iOS 5 release. This includes backing up all your app data in the iCloud service, which is easier than syncing to iTunes all the time. (Please do review our post on Multitasking Gestures.)

We’re thrilled about this power-packed upgrade, and we hope you are too. You can find Penultimate here. (Love the update? We’d be honored by a nice review in iTunes. :) )

Enjoy!
