The new algorithm is described as:
[…]using the
Radiusof circumference to determine how close the strokes for filling. This new method is very effective when the extension done by the previous method (now renamed asExtend) of the strokes never cross.
This new algorithm has been accompanied by a flurry of small patched further streamlining the fill tool experience, including one by Antonio Vazquez to reduce clutter when using closure extensions:
I'm working on an enhancement to #greasepencil fill tool to cut extensions when they collide. This eliminates a lot of noise when using the tool. #b3d pic.twitter.com/kOBMW4U6yy

I’m still working to improve the closing lines, specially when they are collinear. Also trying to optimize the funtions. I hope to have the new improvements ready in the next days.
