Fixed the unintended trivial solution in level CloneBuilder
Where "Strong" borders meet "Normal" borders on a single line, the graphic for this now warps smoothly.
If you completed an advanced map before 0.18-beta was released, you can get the new achievement for that map without re-solving its levels. Just load the map, click "reset" and then when it asks "Do you wish to reset all levels to unsolved", click "no". Then wait until the level-popping animation completes, then the new achievement should unlock. josh
