Hello everyone,
We will be publishing MIT App Inventor version nb183a soon. This release includes a new companion to address a bug in the BackPress event. You will not need to update your companion unless you are using that feature in a project. Here’s a list of the changes since nb183:
- Add a prompt to enter the name of a screen when deleting in order to prevent accidental deletions of screens. Also make a checkpoint of the project by default as a means of letting people recover screens. (Thanks @beinganonymous)
- Fix an issue where property validators would report errors when selecting multiple components with conflicting property values.
- Fix an issue where overriding the BackPress event would still allow people to go back (thanks @conorshipp)
- Fix an issue where a description or title set on a Polygon in the design view would not show in the info box
- Fix an issue where block expand/collapse actions were not being recorded in the undo/redo stack
- Fix a bug where clicking on a block while the backpack was open would add the block to the backpack (thanks @BeksOmega)
- Add an ApiKey property to the YandexTranslate component so users can provide their own API key, if desired.
Cheers,
Evan W. Patton, Ph.D.
