What changed

The wheel used to change the distance of the camera. It now uses the same zoom as the I and O keys and the Zoom menu: 1×, 2×, 4×, 8× and 16×. Each notch of the wheel moves one step, so a fast flick on a trackpad does not jump straight to 16×.

The Zoom menu and the toast at the top show the current level. Double-click still resets the look direction.

而家可以用滑鼠滾輪縮放。向上滾就放大，向下滾就縮小。

改咗啲乜

以前滾輪係轉鏡頭距離。而家用返同 I、O 鍵同 Zoom 選單一樣嘅縮放：1×、2×、4×、8× 同 16×。滾輪每一格行一級，所以喺觸控板快速一撥都唔會一下跳到 16×。

Zoom 選單同畫面頂部嘅提示會顯示而家嘅倍數。連按兩下仍然會重設視線方向。
