January 20, 2014

Minor update which addresses some lignering issues from Rugged Reroll and has some improvements to the ordering of rendering elements on the tabletop.

  • Tokens that "have sight" are now drawn on top of everything, preventing limited line of sight viewing angles from hiding the token.
  • Pings and Measurements are now drawn on top of everything else as well, allowing GMs and Players to point out things on the tabletop even if they're hidden to the players.
  • Pings, measurements, and waypoints now no longer appear to players if they are done on the GM Layer.
  • A "GM Notes" field was added to the Handouts
  • Better proxying of external (web search) images.
