+release; the list below, however, does list the fixes it includes)

+  when opened through an iframe (#93; PR #127)

+  well as `keyup`; e.g., trigger for `ALT+keycode`); PR #85
+- Fix: Layers in svgcanvas; PR #107
+- Fix: `createSVGRect()` in `getIntersectionList`; `createSVGRect()` does not
+  have parameters, they must be set on the object after; PR #138

+  stroke width); PR #91
+- Enhancement: Expose current zoom level (`getSnapToGrid`) through canvas for
+  extensions; PR #87
+- Enhancement: Insist on "image" mode for select image dialog to show,
+  allowing extensions to add images without this behavior; PR #86
