This year-end update has something for everyone. Here's what you can expect:

400+ new puzzle images, covering a wide variety of subjects and styles, and all created by human photographers and artists. For easy access, most of these new puzzles are separated out into their own categories, such as "Animals II", "Buildings II", etc. You can see all of the new additions by selecting New from the Show dropdown on the Start a Puzzle page.
Going forward, two new puzzles will be added each week, and will be completely free to play for a limited time.
On the Friends page, there is now a Prior Puzzle Partners section, where it's easy to invite the people you played your previous puzzle with, to your new puzzle.
Custom puzzles can now be generated tall or wide, as well as square.
An "Ai" icon is now shown on all puzzles that are AI generated.
Under Settings, there is now an option to hide all AI generated puzzles.
The escape key can now be used to close the chat window or the sort window, to turn off selection mode, and to deselect any selected pieces.
AI puzzle generation takes less time than before.
Increased the quality of AI generated puzzles that are available through the Search function.
When an invitation is received to join a puzzle, you can now join directly from the notification.
When dragging out a box to select pieces, the screen will no longer scroll when you get near the edge.
On the My Puzzles and Open Puzzles pages, an icon is now shown for puzzles that have auto-sorting turned on.
When playing a puzzle solo, you're no longer asked to confirm auto-sorting of pieces.
The Chat entry box now has focus when the chat window is opened.
(Note that voice chat in this version is incompatible with previous versions. So if you and your friends are not able to hear each other, make sure you've all updated to the new version.)
Many of these improvements started with suggestions from players, so keep those ideas coming.
Happy puzzling!

Today's update was a long time coming, and adds some exciting new features while also fixing a bunch of troublesome bugs.
Here's what's new:
New Features

When generating a custom puzzle image, there is now a menu that lets you choose from 30 different styles. Choose "General" if you'd rather describe the style yourself, or choose "Classic Style" if you'd like to stick with the style Puzzle Together has been using up until now.
You can now generate multiple custom puzzles simultaneously -- no more need to wait for one to complete before starting another.
Improved quality of custom generated puzzles.
Custom puzzle generation now has better understanding of non-English image descriptions.
Added a bunch of new table color options, under 'Settings'.
A pop up asks you to confirm before sorting pieces, to help prevent accidental sorting.
There is now a 'ping' sound when a chat message is received.
Added the option, under 'Settings', to turn off the ability to change the camera angle by right-click dragging the mouse.
Under 'Settings', in the menus of actions that can be assigned to mouse buttons, you can now rotate pieces left (counter-clockwise) as well as right (clockwise). So, if you'd like, you can assign one mouse button to rotate in one direction and another button to rotate in the other direction.
You can now zoom closer in and further out. Also, the speed of zooming in/out and changing camera angle with the keyboard has been increased.
Any player in an open puzzle can place pieces in their final position, so long as at least 90% of the puzzle's connections have been made.
On the "Join a Friend's Puzzle" page, there is now a copy button next to the join code, to let you easily copy the code to your clipboard so you can paste it in a message.
Bug Fixes

When you change your username or e-mail address under 'Settings', you no longer need to hit enter for the change to take effect.
If a puzzle was completed when there was no connection to the server, it never registered as being completed. This has now been fixed, and any affected puzzles should now show up as completed when you enter them.
When using ctrl+click to add a piece to the set of selected pieces, it will no longer also cause the piece to rotate.
When you "like" (favorite) an AI generated puzzle, it will now appear on the Library page when you select "Favorites" from the Show menu.
When you purchase an AI generated puzzle, it will now appear on the Library page when you select "Purchased" from the Show menu.
Fixed a bug that would cause the game to hang when entering a puzzle, if you had left the previous puzzle while pieces were still selected.
A sort can no longer be started if another sort is in progress.
Fixed a problem that could cause the puzzle box to permanently disappear.
Added logging to help find a problem that prevents some players from being able to make purchases.

March Update: New Piece Shapes, Share Puzzles with Your Mobile Account, & More!

This update includes a few new features and bug fixes that have been a long time coming! Here's the list:

New puzzle piece shapes! When you start a puzzle you can choose from Unique Shapes (no two pieces will have exactly the same shape), Repeating Shapes (piece shapes repeat in a 5x5 pattern; this is the way all puzzles have been in the past), or Identical Shapes (all pieces have the same shape -- for an extra challenge).
You now have the option to link your Steam Puzzle Together account with your mobile account, so that purchases, as well as the list of puzzles you're working on, are shared between the two accounts. To do this, go to the Settings page (in Puzzle Together on Steam), click on "Link Accounts", and enter the username and password of your mobile Puzzle Together account.
The functions of the mouse buttons can now be customized. On the settings page, there are dropdown menus to select the functions of tapping the left, right, and middle mouse buttons. By default, they do what they've always done -- tapping the left button rotates a piece, and tapping the right button brings up the Sort menu. But now, any of the buttons can be configured to do either of those, or to start/stop dragging (see next item).
Some players would prefer to tap a mouse button once to pick up a piece, then tap it a second time to drop the piece -- rather than dragging it the whole way. This is especially important for players who have difficulty or pain when holding down a mouse button. The Settings page now includes the option to configure any of the mouse buttons to start/stop dragging. This means that one click will pick up a puzzle piece, and a second click will drop it. Likewise, one click on the puzzle table will start panning the view, and a second click will stop panning.
The list of icons for puzzles on the "My Puzzles" and "Open Puzzles" pages now includes icons showing whether the puzzle has unique, repeating, or identical piece shapes. Each of the icons now also has a tooltip to explain what it means.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Steam overlay from appearing (and so prevented purchases from being made) on Mac OS.
Fixed a problem that could prevent music from playing.
Fixed a bug that prevented some puzzles from being made open to the public.
Fixed a bug that would prevent a player from logging back into their Steam Puzzle Together account after they had created or logged into a non-Steam account from the same device.
The number of free custom (uploaded) puzzles that can be available at one time has increased from 4 to 6.

Move and Sort Groups of Pieces

Today's update makes it much easier to move a large group of pieces, and makes it possible to sort just a group of pieces rather than all of them.
Here's how it works:
At the top of the screen is a new "Select" button. Press this button, then drag out a box around those pieces you want to select.
The selected pieces will glow yellow.
You can then move all the selected pieces together as a group!
Also, if you perform a sort (by edges, color, or section) while pieces are selected, the sort will only apply to the selected pieces. So, you can now sort just the pieces in the section of the puzzle you're working on, or sort by color from just the edge pieces, etc.
Tips:

Instead of pressing the "Select" button first, you can just hold down the Control key while you drag out a box around the pieces you want to select.
Once you have pieces selected, you can add to the selection by dragging out another box.
Click anywhere on the table to deselect your selected pieces.

Today's update focuses on optimization. 3D models now draw faster, and textures take up less memory. Graphics effects now turn off when not needed. A major memory leak has been fixed, which will prevent slowdowns and crashes. A new graphics option has been added, "3D Pieces", that defaults to on but can be turned off to get better performance on older machines. Overall this update should give you better framerates and a cooler CPU.
Also:

On the Start Puzzle page, the "Open to Public" checkbox has been replaced with a dropdown menu with the options "Open to Public" and "Invitation Only", to make it clear that you can still invite friends to puzzles that aren't open to the public.
The glow effect for selected pieces now works differently, to prevent it from slowing down the game.
Updated some text translations.
