A friendlier welcome, and a Basecamp that lines up.

The welcome now shows how Firn's sidebar works, Basecamp, pinned tabs, and everyday tabs, and lets you pick your search engine. Basecamp's tiles now always sit in even rows.

New

• How your sidebar works. A new welcome step draws the sidebar and explains its three parts: Basecamp for your everyday sites, pinned tabs for each space, and the rest of your tabs, which tidy themselves away. Right-click any tab to add it to Basecamp or pin it.
• Choose your search. The welcome asks which search you like: Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing. More choices are in Settings.

Better

• Google is now the starting search for new installs. If you already use Firn, nothing changes.
• Basecamp's tiles sit in even rows: five tiles make a row of 3 and a row of 2, six make two rows of 3, and a tile is never left alone on a row.
• Downloads are easier to notice. A new download rises in with a soft wash of your space's color, and a gentle ring marks the moment it's finished. The flake from 0.7.5 is gone.
• Websites see Firn as Chrome, the browser it's built on, so sites that acted strangely in Firn may now work as they do in Chrome.

Fixed

• Long download names no longer push the download, and its buttons, under the page.
• A page staying blank after minimizing, on Windows: another fix, this time for how Windows decides what needs drawing.
