Streak: history, and future

Release your full potential.

Scratch to v(1.3)0.0beta:

1. There are new blocks, the boolean <hidden?> and <pen down?>, as well as in sound, [beep].
2. Some of the obsolete blocks have been brought back. ([say nothing], [change stretch by], [set stretch to], [rewind sound] and [change costume by].
3. The 'blur,' 'saturation,' and 'pointillize' image effects have been brought back. They are now in with the others in the graphic effect blocks.
4. The graphic effect menu has been rearranged to a more practical order.
5. The logical comparison blocks (=, < and >) now have string inserters.
6. There are new options in the shift+extra menu, for entering and exiting blind mode. When in blind mode, menu text is larger.
7. Pressing shift while switching block categories makes that category darker. This aids the visually impaired by increasing contrast.
8. Pressing shift while opening a project does the same thing.
9. Another new option in the shift+extra menu is "show/hide incompatible blocks". this toggles in and out of compatible mode.
10. Whenever the project is incompatible with scratch, it will save as *.sc, rather than *.sb.
11. When not in compatible mode, it will not open *.sb projects. The same goes for *.sc when in compatible mode.
12. If you really need to interchange between sb and sc, you can switch compatibility while the project is open.
13. The share button is disabled while not in compatibility mode.
14. 'Color' in the pen and looks have been changed to the proper english spelling (colour).
15. The default sprite, and the logo in the corner have been changed.
16. Pressing shift while entering presentation mode switches to the black background, except it does not enter full screen.
17. Full screen can be toggled while in development mode by means of two new shift+extra menu options.
18. The project notes dialog has been made wider.
19. From shift+exras, you can now change the display depth. (to balance out performance and appearance).
20. There is a new math function in the function block: factorial (!).

v(1.3)0.0beta: to (1.3.1)0.1beta:

1. NEW BLOCK: Limited Functionality* Exponent block (()^()). *It cannot perform exponents by a decimal.
2. NEW BLOCK: String attacher ([],[]).
3. NEW BLOCK: String reverser ([] reversed)
4. NEW BLOCK: Reporter for the length of a string (length of [])
5. NEW BLOCK: Almost equals logical comparison block (()≈()within())
6. NEW BLOCK: Boolean equals logical comparison block <<>=<>>
7. NEW BLOCK: Conditional numerical reporter (if <> then [] else []). ie if the boolean is true, report string #1. Otherwise, report #2.
8. NEW BLOCK: Conditional boolean reporter <if <> then <> else <>>.
9. NEW BLOCK: The (round()) block has been changed to (round () to nearest ()).
10. NEW BLOCKS: Reporter blocks (pi) and (E) have been added.
11. NEW BLOCK: String-to-numerical forcer block ([]).
12. NEW BLOCK: Factorial function (!) has been added to the ([function] of ()) block.
13. NEW BLOCKS: LCM and GCF (GCD) blocks have been added. (Greatest common multiple/ lowest common factor)
14. NEW BLOCK: New hexadecimal conversion block (hexadecimel of ()).
15. NEW BLOCK: New '# of penmarks' block has been added.
16. NEW BLOCKS: Access to the right and middle mouse have been added.
17. NEW BLOCK: The direction menu now includes 8 directions. (0, 45, 90, 135, 180, -135, -90, -45).
18. NEW BLOCK: You can now piont to an XY coordinate [point towards x() y()]
19. NEW BLOCK: Reporter for costume names (costume name for #())
20. NEW BLOCK: Graphic effect reporter added (graphic effect [effect])
21. REMOVED FUNCTION: The [change costume by ()] has replaced [next costume]
22. The category palette has been re arranged.
23. Due to its new string manipulation capabilities, the numbers category has been renamed 'values.'
24. In blind mode, now all text is larger, and the blocks are darker.
25. When pressing shift in blind mode, the blocks appear normal coloured, and vice-versa.

PLANNED: (1.3.1)0.1beta to (1.3.1)0.2:

1. The GCF and LCM will be incorperated into a new binary function block.
2. There will now be new browser buttons, for choosing a 'bookmarked' directory.
3. The stage can be resized.
