Previously every time you started the game you would've had to start from the beginning with default names, settings and canvases, but now you can keep drawing on the same canvas for later if you decide to save it instead of making a new one every single time or uploading to gallery where everybody could access it. You can also keep re-creating the same lobby if you decide to host the same previous canvas that people drew on.

Known Issues
1 change-
If you were experiencing lag recently in REPaint, it's been mostly because of REPaint allocating multiple canvas-sized arrays during a rebuild as well as the recent additions to REPaint. This update fixes some of those problems, so REPaint should in theory run better now. If I find something else bugging the system, I will be releasing more quiet optimization updates about it!
