Last Blocks Beta

Release
Come and get it. Hint: The discount from Screen Casts Online is running until the end of the month.
The change-list is just too long for this blog and my finger is broken (see below) so I'm not going to type the whole thing. Here is some of the cooler new stuff:
- Totally changed image blocks. They should now
be much better behaved.
- Image block orders margins and backgrounds
should work just fine.
- Transparent png files should behave as
expected if your Image format is set to PNG or
Original.
- Option drag to duplicate blocks
- borders and margins properly resize their
contained content to match the generated HTML
(image blocks too!).
- blocks can hide/show/scroll overflowing
content or flex the block to the height of the
content.
- more registration annoyances (limited to four
blocks for non-register users -- currently just
an annoyance, in the future the limit will be
hard).
- Two crashing bugs fixed -- while switching
between pages and when deleting some blocks.
One caution: Since image blocks changed so radically, their storage format changed. Older Blocks files should read in correctly, but there could be some issues. Reimporting your images wouldn't be a bad idea. And once you've saved a file from Blocks beta 9, it will not open in earlier versions.|
