v0.1.3 adds:

- Tap to zoom out

- Orbital movement

- Improved fonts

v0.1.4 adds: - Swipe gestures and top sliding menu: Old menu buttons replaced with new sliding menu and swipe gestures, there's no need anymore to reach the top of the screen, simply swipe down and navigate the menu by swiping up and down, I'm pretty sure you'll be familiar with this new navigation method.
