- New Import Panel for adding scenes to your library with three ways to import.
- .synScene importer to import a synScene file shared in our online scene library or from another user.
- Interactive Shader Format importer means you can download a .fs file from interactiveshaderformat.com and automatically convert it into a .synScene.
- Shadertoy importer lets you simply copy/paste a Shadertoy URL, and using the Shadertoy.com API we download the shader directly. Then, we automatically convert every line of code in the shader into Synesthesia-acceptable code.
- With ISF or Shadertoy auto-converters, there are certain features of both websites that simply have no analogue in Synesthesia. So occasionally you will get a compilation error that is usually easily remedied manually.
- You can now turn on and off Syphon Input in Graphics Settings.
- The syphon server will show up in the media section of control panel.
- Revamped, more integrated scene editing process.
- Built in forms to edit title and thumbnail to keep things organized.

- New button to turn off the preview window, which may give certain users a performance boost.

- The tooltip box was being renderend even when tooltips were turned off, this has been fixed.
- Fixed issue on smaller screens, where you werent able to open the scene folder on the settings page.
- Meta control midi mappings were not being shared on scene specific midi mappings. This was counter intuitive and was fixed. Meta control midi mappings are now always shared.
- Some buttons throughout the app would cause the GUI to turn white and refresh unexpectedly. This issue has been fixed.
- Tooltips and Community page were updated to help new users learn their way around.
