Good suggestion for Scratch 2.0

Two words -- automatic updating.
If there was an update to the program, the next time you open Scratch, it would ask you if you wanted to update it to the next version.

...I don't understand. The Scratch Team rarely issues new versions, so there really isn't much to update.

I thought that 2.0 would every once and a while have a 2.0.* or 2.0.*.* version so Scratchers could get the latest bug fixes and features.

I don't remember the Scratch Team saying anything like that... There have been occasional upgrades of the like up until now, but Scratch has only gone up to *.*.1 before. I think they'll keep the same trend for 2.0, no?

Well it's made in flash, so for the online player, it would be pretty easy to update it often.

Re: Good suggestion for Scratch 2.0

It doesn't seem very necessary. Scratch isn't updated all that much.
