During the last month we became too busy with the BardCanvas Club initiative. There is a handful of websites we're supporting now, and they're gaining visitors and fans on their Facebook pages.

But being busy on that didn't stop us moving forward with improvements on our components library. On the contrary: thanks to the users input, we've fixed issues and improved things to make their experience with our engine more than satisfactory.
