I noticed that Scratch added an “online” boolean reporter block in the Sensing category above the username reporter. Has anyone else seen this before?

As far as I know that has always been there, it's definitely not new.

That is also not new, the remix tree was removed several months ago.

I still wonder why those specific tags.

I can see tutorials as ST wanting you to use built-in editor tutorials. I don't know about stories.

Maybe they thought “stories” was too general or vague?

According to the scratch wiki, stories “are rare as they often fall into the animation category.”

More of new things being Blue
Wow! It's not like I saw the code of that before it happened! I guess they merged the master PR (that means my PR will be merged very soon!)

I noticed the block picker got condensed
