• Use shared library for core engine to ensure all symbols are exported to plugins
• Add framework for scripting capture operations
• Workaround camera busy problems with Nikon cameras
• Add a plugin for repeated capture sequences

The Entangle project has a bit of a quantum physics theme in its application name and release code names. So primary inspiration for the new logo was the interference patterns from (electromagnetic) waves. As well as being an alternate representation of an interference pattern, the connecting filaments can also be considered to represent the (USB) cable connecting camera & computer. The screenshot of the about dialog shows the new logo used in the application:
