Not quite. The palette selection was changed so it's bigger. And, of course, it appears to a little less buggy than the release candidate.

Also, the Join block now works with decimal points and numbers!  Before, it was throwing away the decimal points.

Maybe you didn't run the install program after you downloaded it?

Re: Scratch 1.4 is now available!

I noticed that the size of the ZIP file for the 1.4RC is bigger than the one for this version of 1.4. Why is that?

Hmm, a lot of people don't notice that 1.4 is out, I see a lot of 1.3 people, and even 1.2.

No, there were a few last minute changes. Such as when the mouse hovers over the sprite thumbnail it says the sprite name along with the scripts, and the color pallet was fixed, along with minor glitches  smile
