- Intermediate levels are used when zooming in with the mouse wheel. This may mean that the "Scale" field in the control panel will go blank, but if you're using the wheel you probably aren't using the drop-down.
- When zooming, the previous image tiles are used until the new tiles load. Combined with the previous, this means zooming is much smoother.
- The credits display at the bottom of the page (which shows credits, sector data, world data, and one-click generators for LBBs and Posters) now [EDIT: Based on feedback in the comments]
tracks your mouse hover coordinatesupdates on click/doubleclick/drag rather than just what's centered on the page. - When you zoom by double-clicking or using the wheel the mouse position is retained, so you can "zoom in" on something that isn't centered.
- Added Facebook and Twitter buttons next to the Google Plus buttons.
- The "you are here" and overlay URL parameters from the iframe API can be used on the main map page.
- Tweaked the [-] and [+] buttons in the control panel to be the same size. Yay for −
Note: I only tested as far back as IE8. According to analytics, I have a small number of IE7 users. If they report problems I may be able to fix it, but only if they complain. My testing on browsers other than IE, Chrome and Safari (iOS) has been limited, but Firefox and Opera are usually pretty well behaved.
As always, let me know what I broke and I'll try and fix it quickly.
EDIT: Remember to mention which browser+version and which operating system+version you're using, too.

In other news - no progress on the outages. I've found and fixed a couple of bugs with cached state handling but I still see the service going down when usage is high. I have monitoring set up now so that as I make changes I can have a higher confidence that they haven't made things worse.
