I’ve been spending way too much time documenting the new features in Marked 1.5. I thought I’d share some screenshots, though. No explanations, but if you watch closely you might see something you like. Feel free to hum along.

Update: Oh, what the heck. Here’s the current changelog. These Marked features are complete, but some may not make it into the final release, primarily depending on how sandboxing goes in the next week or two.
