v1.10.1

v1.10.0:

• Windows: Support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has not been removed, however you will have to download a special "Legacy" version of the app that uses old versions of libraries. This is slower and less secure, but we will support it as long as it's not an unreasonable burden.
• New addons: Rearrangeable custom block inputs, Skewing in costume editor, Square block text inputs, Compact editor, Customizable menu bar, Copy reporter values, Move sprite to front layer, Arrow key incrementation in editor
• New extensions: WebSocket, Pen+ V6, Asset Manager, HTML encoding
• Insert blocks by name addon was rewritten and works so much better
• Added high contrast mode
• Added dark blocks mode
• Added option to change accent color from red to blue or purple
• Added progress bar when loading projects from your computer
• Added more stage size controls when using large custom stage sizes
• Added support for generating Electron apps for ARM Linux computers
• Added many new APIs for extensions
• Fixed scripts imported from the backpack dropping in the wrong spot
• Fixed gamepad support and costume editor snapping addons when using custom stage sizes
• Fixed scroll bars when using custom stage sizes
• Fixed wake lock extension
• Fixed too many bugs to list here

v1.10.1:

• Fixed fonts
• Fixed "Customize in Addon Settings" button
• Use "Loading assets" instead of "Downloading assets"

v1.10.0

Superseded by https://github.com/TurboWarp/desktop/releases/tag/v1.10.1

v1.10.0 beta 3

We're very close to a full release. As always there's a lot of background work that doesn't really get mentioned here, but takes a lot of time (keeping support for old versions of Windows, in particular, presents more issues than you would expect)

Quick download links:

• Windows 10 and 11: https://github.com/TurboWarp/desktop/releases/download/v1.10.0-beta.3/TurboWarp-Setup-1.10.0-beta.3-x64.exe
• Windows 7, 8, and 8.1: https://github.com/TurboWarp/desktop/releases/download/v1.10.0-beta.3/TurboWarp-Legacy-Setup-1.10.0-beta.3-x64.exe
• macOS: https://github.com/TurboWarp/desktop/releases/download/v1.10.0-beta.3/TurboWarp-Setup-1.10.0-beta.3.dmg

Changes since 1.10.0 beta 1:

• Support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has been re-added. We now offer two builds for Windows: one for Windows 10 and later, and one 'Legacy' build for Windows 7 and later. We'll keep the legacy build around as long as it is not an unreasonable maintenance burden
• A similar approach will be used to maintain support for macOS 10.13 and macOS 10.14 in 1.11
• Added Rearrangeable custom block inputs addon
• Fixed custom stage size in Costume editor snapping and Gamepad support addons
• Fixed Wake Lock extension in desktop app
• Fixed deleting data from old versions of the app (mentioned in 1.10.0-beta.1 but did not actually work)
• Fixed scroll bar behavior for custom stage size
• Fixed various dark mode bugs
• Fixed menus opening when mouse is released over them instead of only when actually clicked
• Various other bug fixes

What happened to 1.10.0 beta 2? A lot of build errors. Don't worry about that.

v1.9.0 - the big rewrite

I rewrote the app

Following CVE-2023-40168, I have spent the last while rewriting the desktop app from the ground-up with security as a top priority from the beginning. There are a few results of this:

• The app's foundation is much more secure (which doesn't mean no bugs -- just fewer opportunities)
• Bugs are very likely.
• Your data such as addon settings and the backpack have to be transferred from the old storage place to the new one. The app will do this automatically, but this is a risky operation. Take note of your backpack and settings before you update and then compare them after. If you notice any difference, please notify us, that is a serious bug.
• We currently do not delete your old data. We will in a future release.
