1.0.0

Added

  • Everything is entirely rewritten, for better or worse.
  • Emotes and Custom CSS can be completely turned off for those not interested. It saves on memory too by not loading those components.
  • Floating editors for both custom css and plugins/themes are now available.
  • Monaco is now used as the main CSS editor, in place of Ace.
  • Settings panels are completely new and sleek. They are also highly extensible for potential future features 👀
  • Translations are now integrated starting with only a couple languages, but feel free to contribute your own!
  • Public servers got a new makeover thanks to some design help from Tropical and Gibbu! We added settings to hide the Gif Picker and the Nitro Gift buttons in the textarea.

Changed

  • Patcher API was added to BdApi under BdApi.Patcher. The old BdApi.monkeyPatch was patched to use the Patcher as well. This allows plugins and patches to play nice with one another.
  • jQuery was removed from dependencies.
  • General performance improvements throughout the app, from startup to emotes to addons.
  • Exporting by plugins is now highly encouraged over trying to match your meta name and class name.
  • Plugins and Themes pages have more options for sorting, views and more. The entire panel got a facelift!
  • Blankslates have been added all over for that added UX.
  • Several unused UI features have been removed for a more performant and usable experience.
  • Debugger Hotkey is now a built-in feature!

Fixed

  • Minimal mode has been redesigned from the ground up and now works as intended.
  • Emote menus are fixed and now use React Patching to properly integrate into the new Emoji Picker. (Thanks Strencher#1044!)
