What's new in Gaea 1.2.1.2?

While most of the focus has been on bug fixes and more stability, we've added a few new features like collapsible nodes, the new Fx node, and a pixel-based ZeroBorders mode for complete precision.

Additionally, the way you work with portals and connect nodes has a whole new aspect with the new Connect and navigate menus. See the Gaea 1.2.1 blog post.
