OmniBlocks v0.6.0-alpha

FINALLY!!!!

After like 5 months, OmniBlocks 0.6.0-alpha can finally be released!

This has the most long-awaited feature: the JavaScript extension! Now you can code in JavaScript within OmniBlocks!

Other huge notable features include a Christmas Addon, smoother animations.... and...

Web Servers!

In collaboration with LibreKitten (and its creator @someCatInTheWorld) we now have support to run OmniBlocks code as a web server, making OmniBlocks useful for headless tasks.

The future of OmniBlocks looks bright now! In the near future, we are looking to move to a monorepo, making contributing way easier.

Now, enjoy all these new features, and don't forget to keep coding!

v0.5.9-alpha

Summary

This release adds a couple of new things. First up, we fixed a LOT of bugs, mostly with features we added ourselves, though. When we added the MP4 option to the recording addon (which could only previously use webm), but as of last release it seems it wasn't tested properly and lacked audio whenever you used the mp4 option. We fixed it, but we still have a stubborn bug that we haven't been able to fix, which is fixing the metadata when you use the mp4 video. Currently, some of the metadata, notably the length metadata, is blank, which means the video fails to load the seeker in many players such as Windows Media Player or Photos.
On the positive side, we added two new blocks, the "() ≤ ()" and "() ≥ ()" blocks. These are self explanatory, but I am personally proud of these because they kind of took a while to add, like a week of work. This was because it was my first time actually adding a new block, and it was complicated as the repositories are split into multiple ones, and I had to modify quite a bunch of files across three separate repositories just to add these two blocks.

A subtle change is that the little version indicator is no longer hardcoded and automatically updates whenever I add a new release, which is pretty cool.

OmniBlocks v0.5.6-alpha Patch

Fixed a bug that deleted the Aqua theme from the theme selector and used Blue as the default.

It might seem silly to make a whole new release just for this, but it's urgent as the Aqua theme is one of, if not the most identifiable part of OmniBlocks, aside from Boxy the computer mascot.
