We've redesigned simple arrows binding behavior.
Easier to work with, more predictable, and those cases where arrows get all messed up when you move things around are fixed :')

Enclosed multipoint lines now automatically behave like a polygon, making it easy to move points around and set a background color.
Unless you don't want them to.

Alright alright, unlocking things used to be hard...
This should make it easier: a single click on previously locked shapes now shows a contextual unlock button.

Did you choose the wrong shapes for your diagram? Now you don't have to trash your work and start again!
Use the Tab key to change between basic shapes. π
Thanks @_ryan_di π

Introducing lasso selection!
A more freeform selection method when you need the extra precision, or the versatility.
Pick from the toolbar, or use Option/Alt Drag.

We're now supporting manual elbow arrow editing!
If the default auto-routing algorithm doesn't work for your diagram, you can create new segments and position them where you want.

You can now link canvas elements together, or share a link to specific content with others!
You can link elements from the hyperlink popup. To copy a link instead, use the context menu or the command palette.

We've made improvements to performance, especially while creating new shapes, which is particularly notable when using the freedraw tool.
The shape you're creating is drawn on its own layer so other shapes on canvas don't much affect it (unless someone else is drawing at the same time).

Flowcharts!
Keyboard shortcuts to create flowcharts more easily!
Use Cmd/Ctrl Arrow to create nodes. Hold Cmd/Ctrl while pressing Arrow repeatedly to create multiple nodes at once.
