4/26/13: Updates to site, editor, and forums!
We are squashing bugs as fast as we can, in preparation for the release of Scratch 2.0! That said, fast development sometimes introduces new glitches. So please report any new problems in the Bugs and Glitches forums!

- drop comment on block to connect
- import comment connections from old Scratch projects
- bug: vector backdrops are offset if a vector element sticks over the edge
- bug: list blocks change to variable color on project save/open
- bug: “stop other scripts” block becomes final on project save/open or copy
- bug:show local var/list should do nothing for a clone
- shift-click Edit menu allows enabling SensorBoard/WeDo blocks
- bug: set “dirty bit” when sound is edited
- bug: MP3 progress indicator sometimes goes past end

Website:

Forums:

Also, front page fixed

Yeah! Can you help us confirm that fix? It was a pretty thorough rewrite of the logic / code, but that means it's possible we introduced some new glitches. So please keep a close eye on it over the next week or so, and let us know if you find any glitches!

Did the Scratch Team fix how people were able to get multiple projects on the front page in top remixed and top loved? That was kind of messed up before because some people could and others couldn't. 1 project should be the most in those sections.Great!

Yes - from what we've seen during testing, that is fixed. But please keep an eye on it and help confirm the fix!

I think the Scratch Community will find them (if any) nice and quick

The first thing I noticed is that the love its are off on most of them. For example, for this project, http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/10113558/ they have 9 love its. On the front page, it says they have 6. http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/10102831/ has 12 love its but it says 6 on the front page.
Maybe they just haven't updated yet but I'm not sure.

This is really strange. Also, this project- http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/10103237/ says it has more love its on the front page than it really has so it's the opposite.

I really like the new remix tree style! The problem is that it has a few bugs: Sometimes projects seep into the ground, and if you view one of the remixes's tree then you get a blank image.

Is it a bug? If not, how do you use them or connect to the project to modify them? - shift-click Edit menu allows enabling SensorBoard/WeDo blocks

Ah hah! Not too surprised - that's a lot of new code, and it'll need some polishing. Can you start a thread in bugs and glitches, and include some screenshots? Browser / OS info is always helpful too!

The list of bugs is ones you've squashed, right? Just checking- the post doesn't say if they are.

Hahah, it'd be funny if they were ones we've introduced. XD
They should be ones that've been squashed - but it's always good to confirm that.
