This very window you're looking at right now is the **Feature Browser** — a
searchable "What's New" window covering everything Freeboard can do. Curious
what a feature does, how to use it, or when it was added? Open it any time
from the main menu — **What's New**, between **About** and **Help** — or
from the **⋯ (More actions)** menu, no matter what you're doing on the
chart.

Each entry shows a screenshot, a plain description of what the feature does
and how to use it, and the release it last changed in — click a screenshot
to view it larger. When a feature has changed in the current release, its
newest changes are listed at the top of the entry so you don't have to hunt
for them; the complete history sits in a table at the bottom. Search narrows
the list by name, and you can sort the table by category, feature, status,
or release.

A small lightbulb button also appears on the left toolbar whenever there's
something new or changed you haven't seen yet — click it to jump straight
into the Feature Browser. It only shows up when there's something to tell
you about, and disappears once you've opened the browser. Freeboard no
longer interrupts you with a welcome screen or a "what's new" popup when it
starts — this lightbulb is the quiet, opt-in replacement.
