We have released an alpha version of our new GeoGebra Web Application that runs in any modern web browser (on all devices). It currently includes the Algebra View, Input Bar and Toolbar. Please give feedback in the GeoGebraWeb Forum.

GeoGebra 4 (version 4.0.30.0) has been released with bugfixes and Armenian as a new language

The Python View will soon be removed from GeoGebra 4.2 beta, so you will need to use GeoGebra 5 Beta if you wish to continue using it, like the new Turtle object in Python
Alt-drag on a parabola to rescale it leaving the vertex unchanged
New commands: ShowGrid, ShowAxes, SetTrace
New JavaScript commands to allow drawing to an Image
Export images (PNG, SVG, etc) from the command line using --export and --dpi
The Input Bar will ignore accents when matching command names (eg. 'De' will match the command 'Dérivée' in French)

Some nice resources on GeoGebra:
