This update brings new features related to user experience and user interface. Below are some of these features implemented, but there are more features that, as they are small details, are not worth highlighting, but check the changelog to find out more.



Highly requested feature to group your workspaces

The entire sidebar has been redesigned to support this new feature.



Easier to stalk an item

Search for anything contained in any item in the current workspace.
A way to locate a selected item instantly has also been implemented.



For Inputs and Outputs

When hovering over any input or output of a block, a clearer and more user-friendly tooltip will be displayed to explain the port's usage.



Opening up new possibilities for Block Developers

Block Developers can now program the blocks to perform dynamic actions with limitless and unimaginable possibilities. Be aware that such capabilities may impact performance if used excessively.

For Block Developers: check out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Discord-Bot-Builder/Blocks/8cea95fafaf85aaed8f24c6ee70c9ab390b64134/templates/dynamic_block_test.js to find out how to make a dynamic block.

This is the first update related to the second phase of preview releases, where the new features are more about the bot this time. With that said, let's talk about the new DBB Bot v2.0:


The new bot.js file was made from scratch to offer a better performance and fidelity, and is now smarter than ever at detecting issues and having new mechanics. Below there are some of those new features:


Less action, or not...

DBB Bot v2.0 is smart to the point of being able to get values from blocks that had no direct connection previously (via the Action ports).
It's recommended that you continue connecting the blocks that may take longer to process and return the value (also known as asynchronous blocks), such as those that fetch data from the internet, read files, etc...
If you don't feel confident with this new logic, you can still continue connecting all the Action ports as usual.


It happens to the best of us

In the console, it will warn you whenever it runs a block with a required input not connected, showing you all the information to help you find the target input.

---

And more other blocks...

Finally added slash commands to DBB! The old prefix command system is obsolete and it's recommended (even by Discord) to switch to slash commands or other types of commands/interactions.


Being able to select more than one option

This new option type provides the ability to get a list of selected options, ordered by the user, and the block developer can even set:

• allowUserOptions = false - Whether to allow the user to write and select custom options
  
• duplicates = false - Whether to allow the user to select the same option more than once

---

Less scrolling and more accurate results at the top

Item Browser has a better algorithm to search for better overall results.


Less wires to connect

Instead of always right-clicking to open the Item Browser, you can also drag a wire to an empty spot to open it and then wiring the newly placed block automatically.
