     * added selectors for sprites' and the stage's bounding box (LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM) to MY dropdown
 * **Notable Changes:**
     * running STOP ALL now also toggles (pauses and resumes) all generic WHEN hat blocks (just like pressing the stop button)
+    * changed default name for new costumes created with STRETCH etc. to localized 'costume'
 * **Notable Fixes:**
     * loading a project that fires STOP ALL from a WHEN hat block no longer "hangs" Snap
     * assert that dimensions given for STRETCH are finite numbers (avoid crash)
