If you are playing version 0.7.0, you are likely past the introductory phases and deep into the "mid-game" arcs. In updates around the v0.6 to v0.8 mark, Jestur typically focuses on: Ripples -v0.7.0- -Jestur-
For the automation nerds: v0.7.0 exports simulation states as highly compressed JSON blobs. You can now save a specific ripple pattern at timestamp 00:04.22 and recall it perfectly (down to the subpixel) three hours later. This makes the tool viable for industrial simulation auditing.

The "-Jestur-" suffix is not arbitrary. According to the patch notes released on the developer’s GitLab (since redacted and re-uploaded to a personal server), Jestur refers to an old Norse term for "balancing crests." In practice, this build introduces a non-linear damping algorithm. For the automation nerds: v0
Where previous versions smoothed out every ripple to a predictable flatness, Ripples -v0.7.0- -Jestur- allows for harmonic resonance. In layman’s terms: drops of energy now behave as they would in a bathtub, colliding, canceling, and amplifying in ways that feel tactile.
Ripples is a compact library for modeling and propagating localized state changes across networks of nodes using event-driven ripple effects. Version 0.7.0 ("Jestur") introduces prioritized propagation, tunable decay functions, and an extensible plugin API for custom node behaviors. This paper presents the design goals, core abstractions, propagation algorithms, priority and decay models, API usage, performance characteristics, and example applications.
