Decker 1.62 is a maintenance release that addresses serious bugs and offers significant usability improvements for canvas widgets.

Fixes (Web):

• Fixed crashes when attempting to "take" a list by a negative non-integral number.

Fixes (Web and Native):

• Temporary canvases used by transition effects didn't respect changes to their .pattern attribute, causing some transition effects to display incorrectly.
• In some situations, reordering widgets in the Widget Order dialog didn't correctly mark the deck as unsaved.
• Fields did not correctly center or right-align inline images when they appeared on their own line.
• Fixed crashes when tightening a selection around a freshly-pasted selection while in FatBits mode.

New Features:

• Native-Decker now offers the "app.kiosk" flag, which can be used to opt-into scripted interception of attempts to exit Decker. This makes it possible to build decks which behave more like applications, and also supports deploying decks as "locked-down" installation pieces for public displays.
• When choosing "Edit -> Paste into Canvas" from the menu, the target canvas will update its ".lsize" to match the dimensions of the pasted image, ensuring that the pasted image will not be padded or truncated.
• When modifying the "scale" attribute of a canvas via the Canvas Properties dialog, Decker will likewise alter the ".size" of the target canvas as needed to minimize alteration to the image content of the canvas.
• Buttons with their ".pattern" attribute set to patterns 2-27 will attempt to draw their labels with outlines, as appropriate, for better legibility.
• Added a new example deck and module, stats, offering a handy collection of statistics utilities like mean[], mode[], median[], and std_dev[]:
