  • Added a new module called BW Framer, which lets you reframe a selection quickly and provide default settings for the frame. No more manually adjusting frames.

  • You can no longer run the tools on graphs types currently unsupported by the Designer API, which caused a crash. See Unsupported Graph Types for more info.
