Heyo! New pixel editor update, with some very requested changes. After the code refactoring, adding features
is way easier: I introduced some more selection tools, the ellipse tool and an info bar in the top menu :)
<h2>Lasso tool</h2>
Finally! With the lasso tool you're not forced to select rectangular areas anymore. Have fun selecting, cutting,
copying and pasting any kind of selection with pixel-perfect precision.

<h2>Magic wand</h2>
In addition to the lasso tool, we added a new selection tool: the magic wand. You can use it to select
contiguous areas of the same colour! If you need to exactly select the pixels of a certain colour, you're
probably going to find the magic wand useful.

<h2>Ellipse tool</h2>
I added a cute friend for the rectangle tool: with the ellipse tool you'll be able to draw circles and
ellipses of all sizes. The tool works similarly to the rectangle tool: select it to draw empty ellipses,
click on the ellipse button again to draw filled ellipses.

<h2>Tool tutorials</h2>
I know what you're thinking, "wow those gifs are so cute, that guy must have put a lot of love in them".
Well, I'm glad you like them, and I have good news for you: there are more! Move the cursor on a tool
button: after a little a small tutorial explaining how to use the tool will appear. Hope it's useful for
everyone who's new to the editor!

<h2>Top bar info</h2>
Depending on the tool you're using, you'll notice that the top right part of the editor will slightly change.
When using a resizable tool (eraser, brush, rectangle, ellipse, line), it's now possible to select a precise
size by typing it in the input field that appears when you select it. More features that make use of the
top bar are planned.
<h2>Bug fixes and minor details</h2>
<ul>
<li>Squares in the splash page are now...well...actual squares</li>
<li>Using the mouse when a dialogue popup is open will no longer edit the canvas</li>
<li>For coders: the selection system has been uniformed</li>
<li>Tool buttons have been shrinked to make room for more</li>
</ul>
<h2>End of log</h2>
You've reached the end of this log, congrats. Special thanks to Jaman on Discord, who's helping us and
who found a quite nasty bug in the selectiont tools. Hope to see you soon in a new log!</br>
