v1.15.0

• New compiler runs some projects twice as fast
• Added face sensing extension. It uses a machine learning model that runs on your computer, so it works offline. Your webcam feed is never uploaded to any server
• Local storage extension no longer requires manually configuring namespace
• Newgrounds extension significantly improved
• Fixed "Unexpected status 503" errors when packaging certain projects
• Windows: Fixed broken text boxes after choosing "Stay" in the unsaved changes confirmation dialog
• macOS: Fixed poor performance on macOS 26
• macOS: macOS 11 users now have to use a special legacy version of the app which is slower and less secure than the regular version
• Linux: If you use a Wayland compositor, the app will now use native Wayland instead of the Xwayland compatibility layer
• Linux: Changed executable name back to "turbowarp-desktop" after unintentional change in previous update
• GitHub releases are now marked as immutable which prevents them from being changed after release to improve security

Known issues:

• Ubuntu: minimize/maximize/close buttons are on the left side instead of right -> Electron bug that will be fixing when it gets fixed up there

v1.15.0-beta.2

• New compiler; some projects run twice as fast
• macOS: Fixed poor performance on macOS 26

v1.14.5

This is a small release mainly to get code signing out the door. You won't get a notification about this update.

Things have been slow. Working to improve that. There has been progress. 1.15 will probably include an entirely new compiler (edit from the future: yes it will contain the new compiler)

• Optimized stamps when using the Animated Text extension
• Added code signing for some Windows builds using free code signing provided by SignPath.io and certificate by SignPath Foundation

v1.14.4

• Reduced size of packaged projects by 400KB
• Fixed some large projects not working when packaged
• Fixed Clipping and Blending extension (regression from v1.14.2)
• Improved performance of Animated Text extension when many clones have been created and deleted
• Improved performance of Camera V2 extension when many clones have been created and deleted
• Improved performance of Simple 3D extension while mouse is pressed

This release was originally supposed to be called v1.14.3 but after tagging that release we found out that the Windows build automation broke due to no fault of our own and had to be rewritten.

v1.14.2

• fix regression in the skins extension

v1.14.1

• Significantly optimize saving large projects
• Fixed a series of security bugs related to vector costumes. These bugs also impact all versions of Scratch Desktop as of this version's release. More details will be shared later, when it is safe to do so.
• Fixed various extension bugs

v1.14.0

• New extension: Camera V2
• Fixed text bubble font
• Fixed compiler bugs caused by incorrect variable type assumptions after running block in compatibility layer
• Fixed interpreter bugs caused by recursive custom blocks using "stop this script" blocks
• Fixed various other bugs
• macOS: macOS 10.15 devices now need to install a special "legacy" version of the app. It has the same features but will be less secure over time
• Linux: Fixed importing sprites on some systems

v1.13.2

• Fixed disable cloud variables option in the "Edit" menu
• Fixed pause button in packaged projects not adjusting timers used by blocks like "glide to" when unpausing
• Fixed pause button in packaged projects not pausing videos from the video extension
• Fixed files extension failing to download files in packaged projects
• Fixed pointerlock extension returning incorrect values for y position
• Fixed more motion extension "direction to" block returning values in incorrect range
• Fixed more timers extension being affected by system time changes
• Windows: Fixed app name in task manager

v1.13.1

This is a Linux-only update that fixes the .deb files not working on Ubuntu 24.04 and later. There are no new features or other bug fixes.

v1.13.0

• Added Steamworks extension
• Extension documentation opens inside the app and does not require an internet connection
• Optimized pen rendering
• Improved reliability of file saving
• Removed restricted trademarks
• Various bug fixes and security hardening
