Hey Polytopians!
As you’ve probably noticed, the Path of the Ocean Update is going to be released fully on the 21st, and that means we’re in the process of finalizing the update and its many changes. In this particular update, we’re adding all of the new changes to both Android and iOS testing programs, so now everyone can join in on the fun!
We’re going to keep this post fairly short, as most changes are bug fixes and not new content. Since you’ve probably been following these updates pretty intently, we won’t need to fill you in on the details just yet, but if you’re new or just need a refresher, we strongly encourage you to get more details on the update by reading our 1st Blog Post and 2nd Blog Post, or look at our up-to-date beta changelog.
