Frequent Updates
One new version of Scratch every YEAR gets old, fast.
...after Scratch 2.0, I would like to start seeing tiny updates, weekly maybe.

Oh no, here we go now.
2.01829745365416...
2.718281828...
2.14159265358979323846...
THAT (above) might happen with tiny updates.

Re: Frequent Updates
One update a year doesn't sound too bad, it's much better than never.
With new updates comes new bugs, weekly updates would create so many problems, imo. .

The Scratch team are not dumb robots.
They are the geniuses behind everything you see here.
More like:
2.0.1
2.0.2
2.0.3

Re: Frequent Updates
Do you think that the Scratch Team has enough time to do that, though?

Re: Frequent Updates
Maybe the Scratch Team could just make an update whenever there were a few things they wanted to implement (enough that it wouldn't be a waste of time).
Hopefully that would be an update every month/few months.

Re: Frequent Updates
It would be better if scratch was updated when there was a new feature that the scratch team wanted to add or something...
Not just every year.

Re: Frequent Updates
I guess it is possible, considering it will be an online program, so you won't have to re-download anything.

Re: Frequent Updates
Oops! ^^
EDIT: Still, it might be a bit much for the Scratch Team...
Unless you want to volunteer to do it for them.

Re: Frequent Updates
Scratch 2 is online and offline. Andres said that.
Maybe there could be an auto-update feature in Scratch 2?
