New

• Window layouts! You can create subplots with arbitrary rects/extents on the canvas, move and resize them! From #740. See the Examples Gallery to learn how to create them.

• Bidirectional events are supported! No changes in the API, just add event handlers as you normally would without worrying about recursion if you end up with cycles in your event graph. :smile: #744
• #771 , not officially documented for now, the way in which you access this might change in the future but we plan to keep this because it's very useful

Breaking

• Subplot.set_title no longer exists, use Subplot.title = "new_title_text". Subplot.title will return a TextGraphic that you can further format.
• The prototype video recorder (which wasn't really exposed) has been removed since it was very wonky. Once #765 is done we will have a proper way to create a video.
