If you want to check out all the features in pictures, check out our album (http://imgur.com/a/lcfwE).
- We've updated the StoryLab tutorial page (http://adventurecow.com/storylab) add a lot more info and also added a tutorial on how we built a complete game, Galileo's Experiment!
- We've also updated the home page you see when you start StoryLab.
- You can now delete stories!
- Start & orphan pages - pages that aren't linked - are now highlighted in a different color.
- You can now restart games in the game player.
- We’re testing out a new feature - custom macros - with a few select users.
- Updated JSON backup and restore: you should be able to restore a 900+ page story in less than a minute.
- Experimental feature: Word count - see how many words there are in your whole story, to set goals and pacing. (Warning: may be slow if turned on)
- Experimental feature: See pages that link to the page you're currently working on.
- Experimental feature: Spell check (and the other experimental features) can now be turned on and off.
StoryLab bug fixes:
- In previous versions, we were showing the "conjuring page from ether" message more often than we intended. This has been fixed.
- 360: Double-clicking on macro tokens should trigger macro-specific functionality (continue should go to next page, etc.)
- 351: When making a new story, the first page text mentions an example that isn't there
- 348: Spacebar/enter at the right edge of a macro token doesn't work.
- 352: Can't copy StoryLab text and paste it elsewhere
- 368: Story doesn't open in editor (QuestForge 2)
- 332: Can’t see switch macro details when it’s expanded
- 361: Clicking on [edit] on a particular page does not open that page to edit
- 328: Double-clicking the Print macro token opens a box that doesn't do anything

- 369: Multiple clicks on Create New Story In StoryLab link make new stories
- 365: Macro property box persists after travelling to new created page in editor
Sitewide fixes and features:
- Adventure Cow is now open registration! To forestall an influx of robot signups that we've had in the past, all robot (and human) registrants must pass a basic Turing test to sign up for the site.
- Updated site to be more clear about what games are on an external site
- Updated tabs at the top of adventurecow.com to highlight store and learn when in the appropriate sections - If you go to a store/learning page (StoryLab, the DestinyQuest Infinite purchase page), the tab at the very top of the website should change.
- You can now sign in with any capitalization of email address.
- Fixed the profile view - no more of this mess (http://imgur.com/C3r5cDF).

- Updated libraries (web2py) to the latest version
- New automated tests to catch big bugs (thanks Jessica)
