Updated banner made by me!

FAQ

What is a changelog?
A changelog is a list of updates to a piece of software. This changelog lists updates made to Scratch 3.0.

Can I leave suggestions or bug reports here?
No. The sole purpose of this forum topic is to track and discuss Scratch 3.0 updates. To suggest new features, please go to the Suggestions forum, and to report bugs, go to the Bugs and Glitches forum. Off-topic/spam should be reported without responding

Can I ask about Scratch 4.0’s release date here?
No. Posts asking about scratch 4.0's release date are not allowed as they do not help with tracking down and discussing scratch 3.0 updates, and is therefore considered off-topic/spam. As mentioned above, you should report any posts that contain off-topic/spam, without responding.

Speaking of the Scratch 4.0 release date, do you know when it'll come out?
Nobody knows.

(If you are still adding things, report this to be deleted)
I think the recent tab was removed on the 18th. That is when the first topic was made for it, and they said they had seen it earlier that day. Take it with a grain of salt though.

Also congrats on the sticky!

No, I just took over the topic, but you can still take over this and this if you want, just ask a-mario-player (I’m pretty sure he’s still active on the scratch wiki I think?)

Ok…
Seems like this change happened back in October 2024 (when your topic was created), not in November according to where it is located in the changelog right now.

In October (at least when I made that topic) there was still a report button on the class page, it just didn't do anything. The button must have been removed between October 9th and sometime in November then.
