Function with parameters

You can now pass parameters to the function. This example passes two numbers as parameters and then displays them on the LED display.

Green screen

The green screen allows you to use a webcam or green screen as the background for your workspace. Using the screencapture software, you can record demonstrations or tutorials in an editor. You can enable it in the settings menu.

Script Manager

The home screen now includes the ability to search, copy, delete and list items. It is convenient if you have saved a large number of projects in your browser.

UTF8 characters are supported in strings

Updated servo function

The modules in the servo extension have been improved to help you calibrate and better control the servo motor

Updated radio reception function

Previously, if you renamed a value in a Radio Received block, the data type did not change; that is, strings kept strings and numbers kept numbers. To solve this problem, we now use fixed names as received values-so they won't show up in the variable Toolbox drawer, and you won't be able to rename them.

Convert to String

Convert to string converts numbers and Boolean values to strings.

Garbage collector

A "garbage collector" is introduced to improve memory usage. From MDN, "the high-level language embeds a piece of software called garbage collector, whose job is to track memory allocation and usage so that it is automatically released when memory allocation is no longer needed."
