You can find a list of the new features and fixes below: General * The Disable and Remove Bands buttons now have new icons * Windows Only: Added an option to allow GUI scripts to run while the client is minimized - "update_while_minimized" : "1" * Hovering over the undo graph will now show the score LayerDesign * This is a new feature that will be enabled in some design puzzles. It is intended to give you more feedback about which amino acids are appropriate at each segment. When a certain amino acid is disabled on a segment you will see the button grayed out in the mutate tool. Please see http://fold.it/portal/node/993855 for more info.
