Several volunteer contributions are also close to completion, but not yet merged this week. However, we do have a significant amount of dev…

We have a new cell specialisation feature allowing you to really take advantage of the multiple cell types you can make for your Multicellular species. Additionally, you can now control the growth order of cells, giving you far greater cont…
