June

• Degrees label option for fraction circles.

May

• A new "Authoring Mode" that combines the previous "edit hidden tiles" and "select tiles and tools" modes. The UI "presets" have been removed. Instead, all options are shown in authoring mode, and there are new buttons to (de)select all features. Some actions (layer, interactivity, etc.) are now only visible in authoring mode. Drop zones and input fields can only be added and edited in authoring mode, and you can also set the exact x/y position of tiles.
• New Drop Zones that can be used to create drag-n-drop interactives.

• Set the horizontal and vertical denominator of Algebra tiles to custom values (e.g. to make x/3).
• Change the "width" property of number lines to non-integer values.
• The "Arpeggiation" music option has been removed for all tiles. Instead, you can now pick from a "Scale" dropdown, including "None" for no arpeggiation.

March

• Tiles now remember the colour of their back side when flipped.
