v0.03
➕ New
- Added the ability to duplicate the selected component by using the context toolbar or the Ctrl+Dhotkey.
- You can now copy/paste components either by using Ctrl+CthenCtrl+V, or using the new context menu on the toolbar
- Added a menu for additional options when you have selected a part/component on the layout. It will show you the hotkeys associated with each action as well, and it is mobile friendly.
- Structures! We added a some pre-made brick-built structures for you to decorate your layouts with. More will be added over time.
🐞 Squashed bugs
- The "Snap to Grid" setting didn't do what the name implied. When you turned it on, everything would snap to a grid of 1-stud offsets. To fix this confusion, you can now change the size of the snap offset by selecting from a list of various options including one that turns off snapping all together. (Thank you to Andrew for reporting this).

✏️ Improved
- Centralized logic for how connection points that are close enough to each other to be "auto connected" are detected. Future me should really enjoy this when implementing the ability to drag around a component and have it snap to other nearby ones with open connection points.
- Changed the style of tooltips on the context toolbar to be nicer looking and work more consistently.
- For all the 2-button mouse users out there: You can now enjoy panning around your layout like everyone else! Try it out by holding down spacebar and click-dragging the left mouse button.
- Added part 53834 "Train, Track Plastic Ramp 8 x 12". If this was the one thing holding you back from using BrickLayouts, it's your lucky day!
- You can now find all of the "Add Custom ____" buttons on the "All" category of parts, in addition to where they already were.

v0.02
➕ New
- When you select a part/component, a toolbar will appear above it with actions you can take. The available actions are different depending on what is selected.
- Custom baseplates, shapes, and text can all be edited at anytime after creation.
🐞 Squashed bugs
- Layers can no longer be manipulated on read-only layouts
- Rotating your mobile device or resizing your browser window will no longer mess up the grid lines
- When editing a layer's name, the textbox will automatically get focus. Saves the user from clicking/tapping one extra time.
- Clicking/tapping a part would sometimes start dragging it because the threshold for starting a drag was not properly scaling with your zoom level.
- Starting to drag a part that is connected to another part now takes more mouse movement so you don't accidentally do it.
✏️ Improved
- Optimized load time by removing unused code
- Optimized load time by only downloading certain code the first time it is used
- You can now double click on a layer name to bring up the layer editor
