B7 is coming shortly.
A candidate build is in testing and will probably by released
in a few days. It adds graphic links, a path map, and a variety
of small fixes.

Sculptural hypertext: Storyspace has come, over the years,
to define a kind of classical hypertext: nodes, maps, montage,
and dynamic links. Storyspace makes linking easy -- as easy as
drawing a line -- so writers aren't reluctant to link.
As we approach this Storyspace milestone, it's interesting to
ponder radically different approaches. Storyspace starts with
no links and tries to make linking natural and easy: it's a painterly
approach. What about a system that started with everything linked
together, and that made it easy to remove links? That would be
a scultpural approach: finding the hypertext buried in the stone.
