## Acknowledgements and Changes
**2024-02-12** Thanks to @Seren, @Xsheep, @Menderbug and @Elidoris for help clarifying the rules.
**2024-02-12** Panel reformulation after feedback from @Elidoris; 100% absent cell support; increased thickness and added highlighting for overapping given/drawn lines (@Menderbug).
**2024-02-13** An edge.case found by @PinkHoodie was corrected, with unit tests (cause: forgetting to account extra sides on polygons with holes), and two puzzles were listed - thank you!
**2024-02-13** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent a puzzle about connectivity - thank you.
**2024-02-21** :::puzzletters Two puzzles were shared by @AnuragSahay - thank you!
**2024-03-21** A second edge.case found by @PinkHoodie was fixed (cause: self-crossing polygon edges were not accounted for). By the same author, a puzzle without given edges at the border, a tricky construction, was added. Thank you!
**2024-04-01** Local variant ´´the-shortest´´ by 凍み豆腐程度の能力 was added.
**2024-04-05** 5 ´´the-shortest´´ variant puzzles were made by @PinkHoodie, to explore this counter-intuitive variant
**2024-06-12** Day regression reported by @Monokurogreen was corrected (cause: font loading optimisations)
**2024-08-13** Clicking an edge can now add a single line, a feature requested by @GESAKU in February 
**2024-08-30** As part of the V42 update, it is now possible to click/tap an edge line to add it, when in auto mode (solving), a [February request|https://puzsq.logicpuzzle.app/puzzle/120185] by @GESAKU.
**2024-12-22** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie constructed 3 classic [the-longest] puzzles plus one using variant ´´the-shortest´´. Thank you!
**2024-12-28** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie fashioned 1 [the-longest] (classic) puzzle - hat tip!
