Yep, it appears to be so.

I see it, and very good!!! The new major version of Snap! has a too high number of new changes and additions, so it's cool to put them in the new Snap! 8.0.0. This is the best day of Snap! !!! :face_holding_back_tears:

I personally like that they added macros. I personally never knew what macros were, but The More You Know I guess.

I'm glad you like macros! They're very cool.
