-   Added snowflake, angel, and dreidel to the Cuttle Icons
-   Cuttle Editor: Added **View > Show Guides**. This lets you quickly show and hide all guides. Very handy for quickly previewing what your design looks like without the circle and rectangle center dots, etc.

-   Performance improvements for **Weld And Score** and **Remove Overlaps**
-   Bug fixes for the **Fit Within** modifier
