Original release notes
New main features : A new Earth : The globe is no longer bronze, the land is colored by its height, the ocean by its depth, and the ice by where the ice really is. Both the object and the flat edition draw the same picture from the same map. Controls that hold : The world stays where your hand leaves it. A throw travels as far as it was hard and comes to rest. A Recentre pill appears while the world is turned, and a double tap brings it home. The animal on the pin : Once the globe stops, the selected animal stands on its bead as a silhouette, and the caption names the species after the place. Filter the plates : Choose a region, a class, or both. The dial and the globe dim what is filtered out; plate numerals never change. Additional features : Turn the plate at the encounter : Swipe, or use the buttons, to move to the neighboring animal without leaving the page. iPad : A View menu and a Go menu, arrow keys, zoom, a scroll wheel and a pointer hover all reach the globe. Accessibility : At the largest text sizes the cover's descent button works again; the globe no longer takes the touch.
