BYOB 3.1 - released!
Hi, I'm not part of the BYOB team but I just noticed and I thought it should be spread.
Anyway, BYOB 3.1 NOT BETA has been released!!!
Download from the website: http://byob.berkeley.edu/#download 
.
It has (as some of you may know) first-class sprites and cloning. Try it! 
Reply anything you'd like to say about it. And blocks.

P.S. I hope I've just done Jens a favour.

That's cool! I've already been experimenting with OOP and cloning in the beta, but good to know they've released a stable version now.

Or a 1.337... or 900.1...

Make sure you need to add 3 other x.x.1+ versions, to get 3.1.4, which means for BYOB version Pi!

I noticed the changes, such as a Clone block, as well as the Delete () block. My most favorite additions are the Object [] and Attribute [] blocks.

Re: BYOB 3.1 - released!
the coolest thing about BYOB 3.1 is inheritance.
When you clone a sprite the clone inherits all of its parent's (local) custom blocks. When you change the parent's block definition all clones dynamically use the new one, but you can also override a child's block definition so it differs from the parent's (polymorphism). While this was to be expected for block definitions what's really cool about BYOB 3.1 is, that this kind of inheritance control also applies to everything else in a sprite: variables, system attributes, even costumes and sounds.
We're really excited and proud of these new features.
And here's the kicker: The handle to sprite attributes and properties are its blocks. Brian outdid himself with this design!

Re: BYOB 3.1 - released!
The only flaw with the clone block is why is it a reporter block? It's supposed to do something, not report something!

It clones the sprite, but then reports that clone so that you can store it away.

I know, I just downloaded it. I did wonder why there was two releases within 3 days.
Extra: My first thread and it's doing pretty well! Some people have 2 replies!

LS97, you still have a broken signature. The last picture still won't display.
Jens, where are the release notes?

If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

you can't have 3.14, it would have to be 3.1.4, . go up to 9.

you could have 3.14, but that's a lot of sub-releases...

I did. It was fine until you added the music thing. Try adding some spaces between bits of BBCode.
