What is new for users

After launching Etoys, its home screen is accessible using the "previous project" button. This is useful if you want to create a new project, but started Etoys by resuming another one. Note that as before, when stopping the activity, only the current project is stored in the Journal.

The display mode button is no longer in the tool bar. Its menu can be found in the world's halo menu. The toolbar can be toggled using the new top-right button. When loading old projects, the toolbar is toggled automatically.

(Experimental) Projects can be published to the Squeakland website from within Etoys. To do this, hold down the the "Keep" button (for publishing) or "Find" button (for accessing).
