Now you can rotate a gear inside a ring to align patterns!

Try drawing a pattern, tapping on one of the arrows on a gear and draw the pattern again. The two patterns will be perfectly aligned. This can help you create some really awesome effects!

This release also contains a few bug fixes and speed improvements.

Usability improvement:
No more need for double-tapping to remove the active gear from the ring. Now you can simply drag the gear away from the center of the ring in order to remove it from the ring.

Enjoy! ;-)
