Even if the updates list is not huge, I’m pretty happy with today’s release as it fixes a lot of relatively minor (and well, let’s face it, some major ones as well ^^) issues that could have lead to a frustrating user experience… So this is really a nice step in the right direction.
Here is what has been added/fixed in this release:

• Proper controls updates when updating the selection: There used to be an issue where property controls, such as fill or stroke colour for example, did not properly update when you selected different objects. Not a huge deal on its own, except it came with the side effect that if you had picked the red colour, selected a green item and wanted to make it red, you had to pick first a different colour before being able to assign the red colour to that item. This is now FIXED.
• Allowed the connection labels to be multiline.
• Fixed a bug with the Alt Gr key that was particularly annoying for users using that key a lot to enter special characters, such as Polish characters for example.
• Finally added support of the BACKSPACE key for deleting objects on Apple computers. Sorry guys, I used to ignore you don’t have a DELETE key
• Enforced the file name validator I mentionned last time to prevent you from ignoring it
• Fixed a couple of copywriting errors on the homepage (Thanks Michael!), and changed the “Try it” button to a “Login” button, as some users reportedly found it confusing
• Fixed some bugs with some connection drawing corner cases
• I want to be very careful with this one, as I’ve already thought so many times I had fixed it, but I think the infamous “orphan symbol causing strange export results” has finally been eliminated ! (Crossing fingers)

In the next days, I’ll focus on adding some “most-wanted” symbols to the library, so if you have some specific symbols you desperately want to see in here, now is the best moment to let me know !
