Enhanced undo, embed support

Over the last few weeks we added a couple of key features:

1. Enhanced undo: Now you can undo others changes as well as your own. E.g. if you draw a rectangle, then someone else sharing the drawing draws a circle, and then you draw a line; you can simply undo in this order: line->circle->rectangle (or redo in the opposite order). Also your history is kept intact per drawing even when you switch drawings, so if you edit drawingA, then work on drawingB, then return to drawingA, you can still undo the last changes to it. Truly unlimited undo!
2. Embed support: We released a brand-spanking new developer API a few weeks back, but that didn’t directly benefit most of our users. But now any user can click the “Embed …” button and embed a live whiteboard widget with your drawing on any webpage. You can also choose to embed just the static image (e.g. in Google Docs); the image is updated whenever you click Save.
3. You can change the canvas size by just entering width and height now. Click “Settings” to reveal the option.
4. When you make a selection, you can use the “Highlight” tool to highlight it to all other users too.
5. Other minor tweaks: There’s now a handy “Unsaved” message that shows next to the drawing name if you haven’t saved your last changes. The “New” button now gives you the option of “New drawing” or “Clear canvas (of current drawing)”. Etc.

Hope you find them useful. As always, let us know if you’d like to see any feature added or improved.
