Features:
* polymorphic sprite-local custom blocks
* inheritance of sprite-local custom blocks
* localization support when typing expressions
* support for user-forced line-breaks in custom block labels
* ternary Boolean slot setting: support to limit Boolean input slots to
“true/false” outside of rings and in palette
* support for default values in custom block Boolean slots
* experimental: duplicate block definition (hidden in shift-click
context menu)
* support for codification of String, Number and Boolean value types
* costume icons indicate svg costumes
* sprites’s rotation centers can be adjusted onstage
Fixes:
* changed keyboard shortcut indicator for “find blocks” to “^”
* prevent Snap from “hanging” when encountering certain errors in
visible stepping
* only mark implicit parameters if no formal ones exist
* auto-wrapping for C-shaped slots (around top-level command stacks)
* settings option for auto-wrapping around inner nested stacks
* unlimited “undrop / redrop”, incl. keyboard shortcuts ctrl-z
ctrl-shift-z
* “undrop” also brings back blocks and scripts deleted via context menus
* … or via backspace / delete in keyboard entry mode
* Note: “undrop” is meant to be a temporary solution until
VanderbiltEdu’s synching / undo mechanism is ready for prime time
also: treat JS-function blocks the same as variable getters wrt rings,
i.e. auto-remove the ring in a CALL block when dropping a JS-function
block on it
* Visible Stepping with flashing blocks + slider for stepping speed
* user-controlled visible stepping with “step forward” button
* speed-up: removed unnecessary yields when running custom blocks
* you can now force a single yield with “wait 0” block
* tweaked keyboard entry: if inserted block has inputs go to first one
* only autoscroll panes where it makes sense (not the palette etc.)
* populate messages drop-down with all msgs, including ones from custom
block definition
* 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
* 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
* 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)
