The headlines:-

Some cool new 'bleeding edge' features have gone into this release but they are 
not quite ready for prime time, so I've hidden them behind the 'Experiments' option 
which can be found on the about box.  This will enable block based drag-drop editing
in the Wifi editor and also a remote Android terminal extension.
