Extended overview all NEW functions in MC 27
« on: March 16, 2022, 05:47:06 am »

For those who are interested, I extracted all new functionalities in MC27 from all the change posts regarding this version. This is an extended overview compared with the one which is pinned.
I did the same for MC26, which you can find here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126396.msg875800.html#msg875800

- Added a Roman(...) expression function to convert to and from roman numerals.
- Added a Repeat(...) expression function to output a string over and over a given number of times.
- Added the expression functions PadLeft(...) and PadRight(...) to pad a string.

I know that, Jim. Just bought and installed it myself :-)
But it's (in my opinion) always useful to know what kind of new features have been introduced in case one hasn't updated every version.
