<h2>Updates (2019-03-02)</h2>
<ul>
<li><h3>Behind the scenes</h3>
A lot of not so visible changes behind the scenes. The website now
runs directly off of github, and has a more modern toolchain
(Goodbye make, Perl and closure compiler, hello Webpack!)
to facilitate development.
</li>
<li><h3>Performance</h3>
In particular, the screen no longer redraws as quickly as possible.
</li>
<li><h3>Drag and Drop</h3>
Disk images can be dragged into the window to load them.
</li>
<li><h3>Contributions</h3>
Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/iflan">Ian Flanigan</a> for
additions to improve ChromeBook behavior.
