Notes

This release adds improvements for the new tile randomization in the previous release: now there are conditions/actions/expressions and script APIs to alter tile randomization, debugger properties for it, and a new example project demonstrating how it works. It now also works when a Tiled Background is used on a 3D Shape face.

Another improvement is for the Animations Editor, which now allows you to keep working in the editor while the animation preview is showing. There are also some new keyboard shortcuts to restart and close the animation preview.

Text and Sprite Font both also now have a 'Read aloud' setting. This is intended as a basic accessibility feature: when enabled, screen readers will read out the object's text, including if it changes. This is off by default as usually the experience needs to be customised to ensure the right thing is read out, but it provides another option to help people using screen readers, in addition to the existing Speech Synthesis object. Other than that, as ever, there's a big batch of bug fixes!
