+## 7.0.0
+
+
+
+Add the `scratch-gamepad` extension: controller support for up to four gamepads. `Gamepad` asks
+anywhere for buttons, sticks (y up, as on the stage, with a dead zone), triggers and connections;
+stages and sprites implementing `GamepadListener` are told about button presses, releases and
+controllers connecting, at the same point of the tick as key events. Buttons are named in Xbox
+positions (A, B, X, Y); controllers without a known layout are skipped and there is no rumble.
+
+
+Smooth pixel art scales the window's letterbox to fit, like its camera zoom, instead of whole
+numbers: with `Window.useSmoothPixelArt()` the stage fills the window at any size, while plain
+`usePixelArt()` keeps stepping whole pixels.
+
+
+Scratch for Java no longer runs on Processing. It draws with its own renderer on LWJGL (OpenGL 3.3, 4.1 on macOS), plays sound through OpenAL and needs no `java.desktop`. `run()` is called exactly 60 times per second of game time on every computer, and what a program sees (collisions, colour sensing, text layout) no longer depends on the graphics card or the screen.
+
+The extensions are jars of their own: `scratch-tiled`, `scratch-save`, `scratch-recorder` and `scratch-drawing`, with short packages (`org.openpatch.scratch.tiled`, …). Camera, shaders, sound, pixels and sorting are part of `org.openpatch.scratch`. The `-all` jar still contains everything, and a public extension API lets others write extensions.
+
+The API was cleaned up for learners, and programs written for 6.x need changes: time is in seconds everywhere (`say("Hi", 2)`, `waitSeconds(0.5)`, `timer.every(0.5)`), animations and nine-slicing are on every sprite (`AnimatedSprite` and `UISprite` are gone), `createClone()` replaces `clone()`, layers replace the UI flags, `Color` cannot be changed, the colour effect and the tint are separate, and shaders have a new, shorter format. The page "Moving from 6.x to 7.0" lists every change, and `scripts/migrate-7.py` makes the mechanical ones.
+
+BlueJ is no longer supported; Scratch for Java Studio is the IDE.
