Version 2.3.7 🎂

Minor update of client & frontend

Probably this will the last update for the next 3 months. We rebuilt the GUI of a launcher, fixed hundreds of small bugs and wrote 15 more documentation pages 📒 with examples and refined API for keyboard ⌨️ event listeners in Graphics library

Docs page 📚

An examples folder was restructured and moved to Demos. All notebooks are read-only there, the system will not let to overwrite them :)

As usual you have a choice of two versions

• minimal (no offline installation)
• normal 🍍

👍🏼 Pick up a minimal one if you have an internet connection and no firewalls, it will save up some space. Both versions will work normally offline after installation.
