<li> </li>
Added more detailed logging to the build server. <li>
</li> Horizontal and Vertical Arrangements can now align
</ul> their contents. Arrangements and Screens can now
align their contents along Left, Right, Center,
Top and Bottom edges.<br />
These settings have no effect if the arrangement
size is set to automatic, and vertical setting has
no effect if the screen is scrollable.
</li>
<li>
Canvas and Sprite Improvements. The new events
"Flung", "TouchUP" and "TouchDown" have been added
to Sprites and Canvases. When a user touches a
Sprite and then quickly swipes their finger in
some direction, a "Flung" event is issued for the
Sprite which gives the direction and speed of the
swipe. This can be used to determine the direction
and relative speed to move a Sprite. Canvases also
receive a Flung event so a user can perform the
swiping (Fling) motion anywhere on a Canvas and
the MIT App Inventor programmer can decide how to
handle it.<br />
When a user places their finger on a Sprite, a
TouchDown event is now triggered. When they lift
their finger a TouchUP event is triggered. These
events are in addition to the existing "Touched"
event.
</li>
<li>
Added new screen orientation settings: (1) User
(let's the app's user select portrait or
landscape; and (2) Sensor (auto-rotates as the
phone rotates)
</li>
<li>
We also made minor User Interface improvements and bugfixes.
