2023-06-22
-Addition of over 100 families across the different available groups
-Updated the topology of several sections of the tree, most notably Cyanobacteria (after Strunecký et al. 2023), Microsporidia (after Bojko et al. 2022 and Park & Poulin 2021) and Placozoa (Tessler et al. 2022)

What´s new:
-Fixed the Back button so you can get back to the main tree after visualizing subtrees
-Text labels at nodes were made smaller so they do not overlap each other
-Addition of Branchiopoda, a previosuly unavailable group
-Updated the topology of several sections of the tree, including some orders of angiosperms (after Baker et al. 2021), extinct agnathans at the base of vertebrates (after Miyashita et al. 2021) and some extinct neornithine families, among others.
