- Among others: Support for Lego Mindstorms robots, bricks galore (motion: place at, set x to, set y to, change x by, change y by, if on edge bounce, move n steps, turn left/right n degrees, point in direction, point towards, glide s seconds to x y, go back n layers, go to front; looks: switch to costume, next costume, sit size to, change size by, hide, show, set ghost effect to n%, change ghost effect by n, set brightness to n%, change brightness by, clear graphic effects; sound: play sound, stop all sounds, set volume to n%, change volume by, speak; control: when project starts, when tapped, wait s seconds, when I receive ABC as a message, broadcast ABC, broadcast ABC and wait, note, forever, repeat n times), a completely new design, our own sound recorder (some tablets do not have one preinstalled), better manual handling of bricks, and many more, e.g., auto scaling to different device resolutions with or without aspect ratio preservation, or a "report as inappropriate" button for uploaded projects. There are also many things behind the scene, e.g., new languages in all projects.
