New & Updated Art/Music/Sound

• An all-new title music track has replaced the older title music track.

Programming/Gameplay Changes & Updates

• The interface for selecting special blocks in the custom game menu is now much more visually pleasing, takes up less room, and now uses icons instead of text.

• There is now an icon-based interface for choosing a game style in both the custom and quick game interfaces.

• The Quick Game window's layout has been redesigned in general to be simpler-looking and more attractive.

• Made keep-one-column-free-of-specials logic more dynamic.

New Level Editor Features

• Added explicit less-than, equal-to, and greater-than controls to the make-X-combos-of-Y-depth objective type (for the Y variable).

• Added clear-method selection for clear X blocks of Color Y and clear X blocks of Special Type Y objective types.

• Added new objective type: make all columns < | <= | = | >= | > | <> X blocks tall.

• "Clear All (Color|Special) Block" objective types converted to "< | <= | = | => | > | <> X Remaining Blocks (of Color|Special)"

• added < | <= | = | >= | > | <> operator control to "X Chains of Y Blocks", "X Combos of Y Blocks", "X Combos of Y Chains", and "X Clears of Y Simultaneous Lines" objective types (all on the Y variable; no point in doing it on the X variable)

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that was causing the animation speed to run at a variable rate depending on mouse movement (thanks dumpsterKEEPER for reporting).
