v9.3.0

on GitHub

Overview

Greetings, Block Builders! This release brings some exciting new features and important bug fixes.

• New procedure blocks that enable sharing procedures between workspaces. The new blocks are being published as a plugin, so the old procedure blocks will continue to work as expected. Learn more here and check out the plugin here.
• The JSON serializer now serializes movable, editable, and deletable properties. If you were previously relying on the serialize-disabled-interactions plugin to do so, see the README for next steps.
• Performance improvements during rendering and collapsing blocks
• Fixes problem with dropdowns on mobile devices (if you're on v9.2.0, this is an important fix!)
