PiB macOS X 64-bit Update in beta

If you're on macOS and want to test if the 64-bit version of PiB works on your system, then please try out the beta version. Here's Valve telling you how to do that:

"Right-click on the game in the Steam client and select Properties. From the Properties window, click the Betas tab."

Then select "testmac64bit" from there.

Bonus room "2016 US Election" Added + all paintings now solvable without guessing

The US presidential election is coming! Still haven't decided who's gonna get your vote? Maybe these 10 pixel portraits of the candidates in the new room "2016 US Election" can help you decide.

Also - fixed the paintings "Panda Caught in a Lie", "Hazardous Love", and "Unsportsmanlike Conduct at the Chess Match" to be solvable with regular gameplay logic (you won't need to use the Marks Mode.) So all paintings in the main game (not the Workshop) are now solvable without guessing or using the Marks Mode!

Voting and Ratings added to Workshop Level Player

Now you can vote on paintings from within the Workshop level player, AND you can see their average rating. The more votes the better the curation, so thumbs up the good ones and thumbs down the rest!

So what are "the good ones?" My definition: the image looks ok or better and it plays more fun than just mindlessly filling in the spaces. Easy paintings are fine, but there should be at least some thinking to them.
