New tours can be created via a <a href="https://github.com/OneZoom/tours">separate GitHub repository</a>. The treeview UI has changed slightly (e.g. toolbars moved) after a combination of user and developer feedback. Under the hood, improvements have been made in pinpointing areas of the tree to display, and the code used to construct the underlying data behind the tree of life has been streamlined and also placed into <a href="https://github.com/OneZoom/tree-build">its own GitHub repository</a>. Various minor bugs have also been fixed, and testing of the OneZoom codebase has been substantially increased.</p>

-      <p> Includes all the features of version 3.3 and adds code to build a museum tree of life display exhibit  in seconds.  In particular, i) the user interface has been customized for museum display use, ii) the display URL has been 'sandboxed' so that users can't break out and explore material outside the tree of life and taxa pages on Wikipedia, iii) a new tutorial has been added to the display, and iv) a 'screensaver' function ensures that unattended displays automatically reset and fly around the tree to attract potential users passing by.  A new launch page enables customization of the museum display including the home taxa location, language, view type and other settings.  Version 3.4 also features some updates to the menus and pages on the website outside of the tree of life explorer.</p>
