UI Enhancements
• The create project screen has been completely re-written. Set custom tint colors for your projects to personalize your workspace

Editor
• We've made code editing smoother with improvements in tokenization and keyboard navigation

Modern Renderer

- Multiple runtime errors should now clear correctly on a subsequent run
- Syntax errors that occur when runtime errors are visible should not incorrectly persist
- Using the sprite (or any) picker when a function contains other arguments containing expressions using the % sign will no longer produce corrupt text around the location of the % sign when an asset is selected

LIVE CODING
- Run in New Window: you can now run projects in a new window and keep the editor open
- Live Coding: when you edit code which is running in a new window, it will update live

NEW
- Projects can be opened in new windows (long press the project icon)
- Codea tries to understand the types of your variables better
- This should result in better autocomplete
- We now support manual type annotation in comments, simply type three `-` characters above a variable declaration or function
- These type annotations will help Codea provide better autocomplete

OBJ-C
- Objective-C methods and properties now autocomplete
- Callbacks can now work with BOOL pointers
- Struct arguments are supported in Lua callbacks
- Objective-C Sets: you can now use `objc.set()` to create an NSSet
- Objective-C Colors: Codea colors are now bridged to Objective-C. This means you can do things like `view.backgroundColor = color(128)`
- You can now use `vec2` where you would use a `CGPoint` in the `objc` library. For example: `uiTextView:setContentOffset_(vec2(0, 100))`

- Sounds Plus example project fix
- Improved the Project Browser's sidebar behaviour when rotating or changing size
