v2.28 (21/12/20)

  • Topics and Zones are now "linked" to sticky notes. When moving a zone that has overlapping notes (but not inside) or moving a topic, the linked stickies will move as well. Removing the sticky breaks the link.
  • Collaboration pods rebuild their state from the transaction log if they crash (so data is not lost).
  • Fixed issues with cloning rotated objects.
  • Fixed problem copy and pasting topics.
