bridge. v2.4.0 - "Glazed Terracotta" finally makes it easier to edit models from a bridge. project with Blockbench. We have also made substantial improvements to our tree editor, the performance of ZIP file importers and we have again made Dash, our built-in compiler, faster.

Additionally, this update marks the first release that is part of our new fixed schedule update strategy. Going forward, we intend to release a new minor update (v2.X.0) every month and up to two weekly patch updates right after a new minor update. We hope that this change produces less stress for us and can help you experience new features faster.

Features:

Blockbench Integration (#690)

bridge. now natively integrates Blockbench. We use a custom built fork of Blockbench that can communicate directly with bridge. to make the experience as smooth as possible. Opening a model opens all connected files automatically and file saving will just work and re-compile your changes automatically.

iframe API (#690)

We have added several new capabilities to our iframe API to make the Blockbench integration possible. You can read more about this API on our new docs.

  • Added new "fs.readAsDataUrl" trigger
  • Added "packIndexer.find" trigger
  • Added "packIndexer.getFile" trigger
  • Added "tab.setIsUnsaved" trigger
  • Added "tab.setIsLoading" trigger

More Efficient Importers (#702, #718)

All ZIP importers now use a streaming solution that is slightly faster and more memory efficient.

Tree Editor Documentation (#717)

You can now right click parts of your JSON to see documentation when it is available.

Tree Editor Location Bar (#724)

You can now use the tree editor's new location bar to navigate through large files.
