Change Release Notes
Calling all testers
This is a pretty significant beta update with changes that will hopefully be transparent to you. These changes are targeting our goal of providing cross-platform and the ability to compile application EXE's with user interfaces from your robot project. The update in this release has a number of back-end infrastructure changes that hopefully you shouldn't notice. And if you do, they'll be very noticeable because your robot won't move hahha
