- Add new "Autocomplete" option On ↲ which enables the return key ↲ to always trigger completion, instead of only in certain contexts. The default remains On ↹ using tab to complete.
- Accept either return key or tab key for completion when triggered manually with ctrl space. This also works this way after the completion menu has been interacted with.
- Improve scroll bar mouse interaction. Scroll bars are easier/wider to grab, they visibly expand to 2x width & are highlighted when hovering over them.
- Add missing CJK support in code branch menu.
- Update code dependencies and compile with rust 1.55.

- Auto-scroll to cursor when code is edited with "undo" or "redo".
- Auto-scroll to the paused code position after `pause()` function executes.

- Fix issue when a `receive(subject)` call could lose data if interrupted mid-call by the robot being launched.
- Improve lang parsing to allow more expressions in function arguments positions. e.g. `fooFn((1+1)/2)` wouldn't work previously.
- Update audio stack.
- Update dependencies & compile with rust 1.45.0.
