New 10 handshape in the IMWA ;-)

I would have to disagree, as this way you have no way to distinguish between forward, up, and back for that handshape without sticking the thumb out to the side.  The L handshape, when it is at right angles, thumb forward, REQUIRES the thumb to be represented by a circle, regardless, so the IMWA for Brazil, and some other areas already uses it on a regular basis.

I prefer the more conventional one with the line rather than the circle.
The one with the line maintains a consistency of representation that seems
to be lost using the circle.
