Notes
This release includes some new features for Flowcharts. One significant update is you can now form circular structures with flowcharts - i.e. you can have an output at the end of a flowchart now connect back to the beginning. This should make it much more useful to use for things like state machines. There's a variety of other flowcharts improvements, including being able to pathfind links around nodes instead of just drawing a straight line (useful for back-connections), as well as usability improvements like being able to re-color lines and animate them when selected.
Other improvements include some new system features, using mouse buttons 4 and 5 (on certain hardware), some optimizations for looping conditions and reducing gamepad input latency, and a batch of bug fixes. Happy testing!
