+[Click this to see the new shortcuts overview image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/master/images/excalidraw-modifiers.png)
+
+## Fixed 
+- This version was extensively tested and developed on MacOS to remove usability issues.
+- New command palette action to create a new drawing in a new tab
+- Modifier keys to open links in the active window, splitting the current view to the right, in a new tab, or in a popout window now behave consistently both in Excalidraw and when clicking a drawing that is embedded in a markdown note.
+- Drag & Drop properly works from within Obsidian, from a web browser, and from the OS file explorer
