We kept the columns as before in this version. So you don't decide beforehand how many columns and the columns' widths are still either absolute values (e.g. 5 cm) or relative to width of poster. We didn't add vertical lines option, but you could after this, add the lines yourself in the background? The columns margins are defined by the spacing formats, as before. I'm not sure how easy it would be to do the lines. The \hfill idea is hard since we now allow the blocks to break the alignment and the blocks don't have the same number in the different columns; also these are tikz nodes and I don't know how/if one can use the \hfill...
