1.0.0

Released 12 December, 2014

0.9.1

Released August 18, 2013

This is the first bug-fix release for Blocks. It fixes an error with not allowing you to save a new level when an existing level was previously opened. The cx_Freeze and setup script was also improved with possible, untested, cross-compatibility.

• Renamed constants module
• Small cleanup
• Added Save New Level dialog attributes
• Remove level name display when new level is created after a level is opened
• Added new script dividers
• Fixed error with being unable to save a new level if a level was previously opened
• Added batch script to launch Blocks for Windows
• Created script to write various files for Blocks for Windows
• Updated setup.py with possibly better cross-platform compatibility

0.9.0

Released August 15, 2013

Another major release, Blocks 0.9 brings lots of features, fixes, and changes. Most notable:

• Line length syntax check
• Integration of RunAsAdmin, with level retention (special thanks to @Anonymooseable for helping with this!)
• Limits the number of level backups to one (1)
• Ability to save new levels; marks the half-way point of complete new minigame levels creation
• <Ctrl> + <n> keyboard shortcut to go along with new level creation
• Largest amount of code cleanup and restructuring than any release

There was one beta report of newly saved levels not showing up in Windows Explorer but in any other file editor, happening only when Blocks is not running with Administrator rights, and it not showing up in any other file explorer besides the Tkinter one if saved when running as Admin. I encountered this only once and have been unable to reproduce this error. Experienced on Windows 7 and Windows 8 x64. If your levels don’t show up but Blocks says they are, please report it. I’m not sure what I can do to fix this, but if it happens often, then I'll research a fix. I think it is Tkinter bug, so I’m not sure if there is much I can do, but please still report it.
