v0.9

Despite being a pre-1.0 release, this is a big one. It includes:

Drawing:

• Flipped the stack canvas vertically, so that the positive direction is up, and the origin is the bottom-left corner. (Old stacks will be auto-migrated for you, at least for initial layout. You may still need to manually update any code that sets object positions.)
• A new Polygon drawing tool
• Allow resizing objects from all 4 corners
• Draw Text Labels ourselves now, so they no longer have opaque backgrounds on Windows

Coding:

• Basic autocomplete in the code editor, for the names of objects, methods, properties, and user-created functions and variables
• Live syntax error underlining in the code editor
• Animations to the same property of an object now chain by default, so you can trivially set up multi-stage animations
• Rename OnIdle() handlers to OnPeriodic() (Old stacks will be auto-migrated for you.)
• Even more example stacks

Other:

• Major performance improvements, especially under Windows.
• Loads of bug fixes and UI/UX cleanup
