Notes
In this release we've improved multi-monitor support for the editor. Firstly the editor now remembers the size and position of popup windows used both in the editor and in the debugger. Then in supported browsers (currently Chrome and Edge) there's a new button Enable multi-monitor features in Settings; when you click it you'll see a browser prompt for Window management. This uses the Window Management API for better multi-monitor support and ensures Construct can remember the position of popup windows across displays, for both editor windows, the preview window, and the debugger popout.
Other improvements include some great new examples covering a 3D animation using timelines and integrating a JavaScript charting library ECharts, some more updates for settings, various bug fixes, and an optimization for the WebGPU renderer. Happy testing!
