NetLogo full changelog

Bundled software to open multiple instances of NetLogo on Mac:
A NetLogo Launcher app is now included on macOS to allow opening multiple instances of NetLogo simultaneously (on other platforms, you can already open multiple instances of NetLogo by default)
Interface changes:
Plots, monitors, and output widgets are now slightly lighter grey in light mode.
Disabled buttons now have slightly darker text (for increased contrast) in light mode.
Changes to NetLogo Web export:
NetLogo Desktop will now export the latest version of NetLogo Web
The most notable change to NetLogo Web is that it now sends anonymized usage data to our Google Analytics
The amount of data tracked by this is very minimal, so we ask that users please leave it enabled so that we can better understand how self-hosted NetLogo Web models are being used. However, note that the functionality can be disabled by appending ?disableAnalytics to the URL
Other updates to NetLogo Web are documented here, from version v2.12.1 to v2.12.4
Major bugs fixed:
Primitives for writing text to files were always overwriting the files, rather than appending to them
Running Grammarly on a Mac could prevent using the 3D View
Minor bugs fixed:
Monitors that were displaying numbers in scientific notation were showing an extra “0” at the end
Monitors were switching to scientific notation at 10,000,000 instead of at 9,007,199,254,740,993 (253)
The “Reload model on external changes” functionality was not watching all of the files that it should have been for the full duration that it should have been
The “Reload model on external changes” functionality could sometimes trigger the display of multiple redundant “Are you sure you want to open a different file?” dialogs
The “Reload model on external changes” functionality could sometimes raise unnecessary exceptions
Internal lastModified.txt file handles were being inefficiently left open
NetLogo would sometimes suggest importing an extension immediately after havi
