The key highlights are:

Roassal2 is a complete reimplementation of the core visual engine of Moose.

Roassal2 replaced Roassal, EyeSee and Graph-ET, and it features many new things including smooth animations, new composeable builders and several new layouts.

All built-in Moose visualizations use Roassal2.

Glamour has been extended with a Pager browser and with Rubric as the main text editor.

GTSpotter is a new tool that makes it possible to find objects fast.

GTInspector saw major usability improvements based on the Pager browser, and it now comes with many object specific extensions.

Moose Finder has been extended with the ability of handling in place visualizations.

GTDebugger has been strengthen and was made more robust.
