* Minor: Fix the help text for downloading a project to the downloads
folder to be correct
* Add back the ability to export a project to a new tab by
shift-clicking on the File menu.
New string to be translated:
'save project data as XML\nto your downloads folder
* Show result bubble when the user clicks on a command script that uses
REPORT (You can now click on REPORT and it actually does something)
* New generic “When” hat block, enhances red stop button behavior
* New block (instance) variables feature (experimental)
* evaluator performance optimizations
* Morphic grab-threshold fix for scroll frames
* fixed several block rendering glitches
* List category LENGTH reporter now also works on text
* Changed “any” to “random” (in English only)
* new FILL primitive in the Pen category
* switched to animation frame scheduling, please use TURBO for music
* Updated German translation
* master:
add Brian's help panes for "for each item of list" block
optimize cloud communication
fixed linked lists identity loss when showing watchers
Add LABEL to the tools library; fix#1009
fixed a zebra-coloring glitch for BooleanSlotMorph
currently the expression isAutoFill || true will always evaluate
to true! :O
(That makes the argument somewhat useless though.) So, this fixes things...
* fixed occasional horizontal rendering artifacts in block “holes”
(C-shaped slots and Ring holes)
* improved user editing of input slots and fixed cursor behavior (note:
the text cursor inside input slots also blinks again, as it should have)
* always export comments attached to prototype hat blocks in the block
editor along with script pic
* when first opening a block editor on a custom block definition make
it big enough to show everything (as much as fits on the screen)
* remember block editor position and dimensions for each edited custom
block definition when acknowledging (pressing OK or APPLY) for the
session
* speed up stacking of commands and loading of projects by suppressing
redundant block redraws
* introducing a “grab threshold” preference to suppress accidental
grabbing through micro-movements of the hand. This addresses the
“cannot-click-on-drop-downs-in-Chrome-under-Windows” set of bug
reports, and also the issues that arise out of accidentally dragging
off a copy of a parameter blob when trying to just click on it to
rename it
* new hidden (shift-click) option to adjust the grab threshold in the
settings menu for the current session
* expand list watchers inside result bubbles and speech/thought
balloons to show everything (as much of the list’s first level as fist
into either the scripting area for result bubbles or the stage for
speech balloons - note resizing the stage affects the size of the list
watchers inside speech balloons, i.e. making the stage bigger increases
the number of visible elements even while the balloon is showing)
* fixed a bug that make an occasional gray rectangle appear at the
mouse pointer
* added a way to invoke blocks synchronously in JavaScript - under
construction (possibly to be used for generic “When” hat blocks and
user-customizable drop-downs)
* added methods to cache morphs’ fullImage and fullBounds while dragging
* Reporters (also nested reporters) and sprite icons (in the corral)
are now semi-transparent when being dragged, so you can see possible
drop target halos /through/ them
* in “prefer empty slot drops” mode (default) it is now much harder to
drop reporters onto non-static C-slots inside custom blocks (e.g. in
FOR loops) and onto variadic input arrowheads (to replace the whole
input with an input list)
* ScriptsMorphs are now noticing transparent clicks (addresses #997)
* %interaction slots are now static, fixed#982 (it is no longer
possible to drop reporters into the input slot of a “When I am…” hat
block (never was intended that it should be possible)
* fixed ctrl-f for the block editor in all situations (thanks, Brian,
for the bug report)
- added TODO comments to all functions that need updating (byob, blocks)
- separate out the code into 3 new functions for readability:
- `saveFileAs` is a generic method
- `saveCanvasAs` and `saveXMLAs` are wrappers which aid in exporting images and all XML files which together cover almost all export cases.
- In other cases, you can call `saveFileAs` directly with some additional input.
- `saveCanvasAs` in particular uses a new `Canvas.toBlob()` option when it is available (FF and IE currently) that should greatly reduce memory.
(Chrome and Safari both have open bugs and may at somepoint implement this function.)
- I have added in code to detect bugs in chrome, including when a new window is being opened. If a new window cannot be opened, the a (to be written) warning message will appear.
- a few functions (namely those in morphic.js) have not touched. However, these are functions which should only occur in a small subset of cases and are behind hidden features.
* BYOB, Objects, GUI: New “Remove Unused Global Blocks” Feature
* GUI, Lists: “Export Project Summary” improvements:
- show variable values as watcher pics
- expand list watcher pics to show their complete contents (1. level)
- url for shared projects
- table of contents
- basic support for sprite nesting and inheritance
- make the summary “browsable” instead of editable
- outline around sprite / stage snapshots
- experimental hidden (shift-click) “drop-shadows” option
* GUI: Rearrange project menu, only show global blocks-related ops if
there are any
* GUI: Remove URL location.hash information when loading a new project
* Store: Fix deserialization support for projects using inheritance
* German translation update
This function was only used for tools.xml, and didnt even do its job...
As of this writing, it simply prepended the `baseURL` variable, which is
determined by the Snap! server, not s.b.e.
If we want to have s.b.e as a permanent fallback source we should re-implement
this in a way that is used for all Snap! media.
This fixes a small typo in the LIBRARIES file, so that the leap motion lib will
load correctly.
This renames the getCostumesList() method to getMediaList() because its used for
Costumes, Backgrounds, Sounds, and soon libraries.
* opens a new browser tab on an editable HTML document containing an
overview of the current project which can be further processed (saved,
edited, printed, turned into a PDF) to create a project report.
* now, when you export script pics attached comments get included.
* also new: Support to detect and react to “any” keystroke (hat and
sensing blocks)
