Blockhead v0.46.3 alpha
Added 2025-09-02 15:44:01 +0000 UTCEdit: Known issue in this build - project saving is completely broken in this build (sorry, unfortunately it is some deployment issue as the bug does not occur in my debugging build.) So skip this version if you actually want to save your work!
In addition to the changes listed below, this release is also a quick test to make sure everything is still working right after making some large-ish changes to my development environment:
I did a fresh install from windows 10 to windows 11 so I had to reinstall all my development tools.
I upgraded to a Mac Studio (Blockhead has grown so much that builds just take too long on the old Mac Mini I was using) so again I had to reinstall all my development tools on macOS.
I completely changed the way I am handling C++ dependencies in my builds.
Hopefully everything is still working fine but since I am a solo developer juggling builds for three target platforms, I've found that these kind of changes have a tendency to break things in ways I didn't anticipate once other people run them so let me know if you think I messed something up.
Update Notes
Update: "Snap to this" block context menu option has been removed for non-tempo blocks.
Update: Snapping to the edges of blocks is now a global option available in the snap settings.
Update: New keyboard shortcut: "Toggle snapping to block edges" (unassigned by default)
Update: The invisible "zero position" of a workspace is no longer considered a snapping point.
Update: The left-hand edge of a macro (in addition to the right-hand edge) is now considered a snapping point when inside a macro workspace, if block edge snapping is enabled.
Update: Cursor snapping indicator is now hidden while resizing choke envelope sections.
Bugfix: Carnival is very unstable and crashes all the time.
Bugfix: Crash when the "bounce selected blocks" operation is triggered, but there aren't any.
Bugfix: "key not found" exception when attempting to drag a block instance inside a macro.

which OS are you on? if you send me one of your project files that has this issue to colugomusic@gmail.com i can start by narrowing down whether the problem is happening during saving or loading.
