Here are the changes we've released today.

Editor:
v328
- Vector paint editor: Gradients!
- Fixes to handle network problems when saving / encountering errors when loading.
- added support for radial gradient focal points
- in bitmap editor, pen and eraser sizes can now be much larger (uses Scratch 1.4 sizes)
- in bitmap editor, eraser size shown as hollow circle
- in bitmap editor, minimum brush size larger to avoid lines two thin to show on the stage
- record pixels/inch of double-resolution bitmaps in exported PNG's
- fetch project assets from cdn to save server load
- increase auto-save interval to 120 seconds
- bug 960: don't add multiple items on double click unless shift key
pressed
- bug: empty costume bug
Coming soon for editor: ~ 4 new fonts, ability to import images directly into costume editor.

Website:
- Studios: Messages / notifications related to studios now appear on the new “Activity” tab on the studio itself. Curators and those who follow the studio will get a single notification that links to the activity page, once a day if there is activity.
- Lots of back-end changes to better manage the load on the servers.


Edit: Project loads got messed up for a few minutes when we pushed out the new code today. Should be ok now (and the lost assets should not have been able to save.)

Nice work, Scratch Team!

My reaction to bitmap gradients: These are not the gradients you are looking for.

Nice!

Wait, when I posted on the old update topic at 20:41, the new update wasn't out yet. But this topic was posted at 16:35:24. How?

So THATS why I lost all my precious backdrops and costumes for a minute. Thanks for telling us, I thought the internet was going to explode. I was ready to press that NOOOOOOO button at http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com :3

Nice work!

Gradient fills! W00000T

You can see the small lines in fullscreen mode, it adds detail…

Tank you.

Gradients are here! (My latest project) When are text cloud variables and lists coming out? (Here's an idea: You could release numerical lists!)
