Zoom maps allow large maps to be used in GP with panning and zooming (pinch zoom on mobile).
Pins can be added by specifying co-ordinates. Clicking a pin shows associated text (and can include links).

Custom dice content
This allows dice rolls to be rendered as emoji or other content through new dice rules. Another dice condition has been added that can look at the reason before applying a rule - this means you can invent your own dice codes to add to the reason that selects your custom dice.

Thanks to everyone who helped with development and provided feedback. Although I'm the one posting the release notes, this was very much a community development.

Special thanks to @Keleth, @Antiproduct, @Bowlofspinach, @Chalrytharendir, @KoldikSteelskin, and @vagueGM.

Glad to hear the news about the "open games" notification. The public solo gaming "game" is always open so I've had the same notification up there since mid december.

Thanks for the effort, everyone involved

Here's some dice rules pimping eye candy.

Heh, yeah. I hated that too. The best thing I did was delete some code I previously added.
