Version 1.2 version offers repainting-related optimisations and supports PDF highlighting as well as links. To remove artefacts from the eraser set the eraser cursor's visibility to Never via Preferences -> Stylus -> Eraser Visibility. Also, disable GTK3 intertial scroll via Preferences -> Touchscreen -> Touch Scrolling -> Disable GTK's built-in intertial scroll, as this interferes with Xournal++'s internal touch event handling.

	Xournal++ uses anti-aliasing and interpolation, which do not work well for the A1 waveform. Mitigations include using either dithering or black-and-white mode in the ebc driver. https://gitlab.com/hrdl/pinenote-shared/-/blob/main/patches/xournalpp/0001-Disable-anti-aliasing-and-use-NEAREST-interpolation-.patch is an outdated patch that used to work well without changing the bw mode.
