Normal Sudoku rules apply. Additionally:
1. XV: cells separated by an X must sum to 10; cells separated by a V must sum to 5. No negative constraint.
2. Kropki pairs: cells separated by a white dot are consecutive; cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. No negative constraint.
3. Digits along the main marked diagonals cannot repeat.

I was about to say that "the 3rd rule (the diagonal) is completely missing from the rules-text of the SudokuPad/CTC version", but I'm now realizing that the rules-text's mention of "X rules" might be a vague allusion to the diagonal
But since "X rules" is a term that gets confusing when both XVs AND the diagonals exist, it might make sense to actually write out the rule in full, in the SudokuPad rules-text
Anyway, really enjoyed the puzzle!!
Also, for those who like having the victory message at the end, here's a version of the link but with solution checking available:

Well, I made a lot of mistakes. It took me 2 hours to restart 3 times and finally I solved.
