There’s new beta is now at [https://arcade.makecode.com/beta](https://arcade.makecode.com/beta)

- the compiler is now incremental, meaning much faster; after initial project load you should experience almost immediate simulator re-runs; compiling for hardware will still take a few seconds; we would appreciate any error reports - watch out for situation when you get a strange compiler failure, but when you reload the page, it goes away - if this happens, please report!
- the high score should now be preserved on hardware for a given game (identified by project name); same mechanism will apply in simulator; there are now also [APIs for storing state](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/923) (ie. save games)

Other changes:

- [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/920](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/920) tile collision fixes

- [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/930](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/930) support for images bigger than 255x255
- [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/932](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/932) control.micros() and control.benchmark()
