    The latest Beta 28.7.0.45 finally offers transparency support.

    Transparent background is no longer traced as white in color presets '3 Colors', '6 Colors', '16 Colors', 'Low Fidelity Photo' and 'High Fidelity Photo'.

    Not (yet hopefully) supported for Black & White based presets.

    Partial transparency is not supported and will lead to incorrect colors for these regions. Overlapping path method will also result in incorrect object appearance.

    Note also this build introduced Logical Grouping of paths in output when expanded — to hopefully allow easier editing,

    Please try the build and provide feedback.

    When using image trace on embedded art that is 1-color (white) with a transparent background, image trace always fails, and sometimes the program crashes. Does not happen if the embedded image is black with a transparent background.
