Bloxstrap Changelogs

Additions:

• Localization has been fully put in place! Your system language is used by default, but you can pick one yourself in the Bloxstrap Menu’s appearance tab. Big thanks to everyone who helped with the translation!
• The JSON import tool in the flag editor now makes it easy to import from a file.
• Added an easy way to turn off the configuration of any Fast Flags (to help with troubleshooting).
• Made it possible to use languages that Roblox apps don’t support.
• Added an easy way to open Roblox’s current log file from the activity tracker menu.

Existing Changes:

• When you upgrade, the new release notes no longer just pop up as a notification, they now open in a new page.
• The prompt to confirm launching a second instance is now optional and turned off by default.
• The presets section of the Fast Flags tab has been completely redone. It now has a lot more options and fixes for presets that were giving people trouble.
• There are now a lot more features for custom integrations, like the ability to choose files instead of just executables, applications that launch in the same folder as the executable, and a file picker dialog.

Bugs Fixes

Existing Changes
