Hi Justin! Thanks for keeping us updated, really appreciated.
I know this isn't directly related to the feedback you're asking for, but I hope you don't mind me asking. In the post, you mentioned the next major update is planned for July 2025. Does that mean we won’t get any updates before then? Or could we expect 1.21.51 to be released as a stable version sooner?
Thanks in advance. It really helps us content creators plan ahead for technical changes.

We have one minor update planned before Summer, but it will not contain any new Minecraft Bedrock features and multiplayer will still work across the newer and now-current versions. Then, in Summer we'll likely have our larger update which will probably contain the newer Minecraft Bedrock features such as the Pale biome.
However, all of this is subject to change. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out in a ticket and we'll do our best to address any other inquiries.0 -
As you can imagine, this is a huge change for me.
For my CS students, I need for them to be able to import functions. I don't see code for that at present.
I can change AZNB "import.time" and "import.random" for existing Makecode (randint and loops(pause)) However, this is a curriculum content issue for me. Can importing libraries be added? Otherwise I will need additional material added from somewhere else, unless it will be available. By any chance does Makecode support input/output of data files? (like reading from a text file or writing to one?)
Is there any ability in MakeCode to allow agents to whisper and say, or for players to whisper? I can't find them.
We did just change all locations to be the first parameter in AZNB, and now we are back to the previous syntax.
I can't figure out how to access data from a chat event (sender, receiver) and I do use that data extensively in this and other events in class.
