Releases · google/blockly

New procedure blocks that enable sharing procedures between workspaces. The new blocks are being published as a plugin, so the old procedure blocks will continue to work as expected. Learn more here and check out the plugin here.
The JSON serializer now serializes movable, editable, and deletable properties. If you were previously relying on the serialize-disabled-interactions plugin to do so, see the README for next steps.
Performance improvements during rendering and collapsing blocks
Fixes problem with dropdowns on mobile devices (if you're on v9.2.0, this is an important fix!)

Q3 2022 Release (v9.0.0)

Highlights

Blockly core is now in TypeScript! If you use TypeScript, you should notice better type declarations for Blockly. There may still be some rough edges; please tell us about them or submit a fix.
Blockly is transpiled to ES2015, no longer ES5. ES2015 is supported by all major browsers.
Blockly is no longer guaranteed to be compatible with Internet Explorer, and some IE workarounds have been removed.
If you're using modules, the way you import generators has changed. See the generators documentation for more information.

Migration

To help deal with breaking changes from this release:

Run npx @blockly/migrate rename --from <your version> <./path/to/my/files*>
Run npx @blockly/migrate fix-imports --from <your version> <./path/to/my/files*>

These commands will automatically modify your files so that they are compatible with version 9. The first command will automatically rename properties that have been renamed. And the second command will add/fix imports for blocks/generators that have been moved.

Some problems may still exist after running the migration scripts, but the majority of them should be fixed!

Q1 2022 Patch 5

This patch fixes additional message loading problems. Message loading now works as expected in these scenarios:

Loading Blockly and messages with a module loader
Loading the wrapped message files via a script tag (e.g. the message files published on npm and unpkg)
Loading the unwrapped message files via a script tag (e.g. the message files present in Blockly's GitHub repo without additional processing). Note that this approach is not recommended going forward, but this patch does allow this scenario to work as expected.
