Notes
In case you wondered where yesterday's release was, we're changing our regular release cycle to now aim for Tuesday releases instead of Monday. This is to give us a bit more time to review bug reports filed over the weekend before making a release. Consequently Tuesday Tips has been moved to Thursday Thoughts to avoid clashing.
This release mainly focuses on bug fixes, as we're now aiming for a new stable release in the next few weeks. However there are a couple of new additions for timelines, tweens and the new Date plugin. There's also a new example of the Date plugin on the Start Page to help demonstrate what you can do with it.
