Aseprite v1.3.10 & v1.3.11-beta

Hi asepriters! This week we’ve released Aseprite v1.3.10.1 and v1.3.11-beta2 with new major features.

New beta versions are going to be available only (https://www.aseprite.org/beta/) as it is easier to release quick fixes for important crashes/regressions. We’re planning to release new features there and after a couple of weeks of beta testing, publishing it as the new stable version.
