Tilemap in manual

Is there an entry for the new tilemap feature in the manual? I can't find it.

Thanks!

Ashley - I guess you're the best one to ask about this.

Thanks for your help, sir! Loving all that you and the Scirra Bros do!

There hasn't been a stable version of construct since the tilemap feature was added. I'm guessing once the next stable version comes out a manual entry will follow.

Burvey - That makes sense. Thank you. :)

Yeah, we only update the manual just before the next stable release. The manual should be updated over the next day or two.

Ashley - Thank you, sir! :) I appreciate the confirmation. I'm so looking forward to it.

Hmm, sounds like a stable release is next.

Just a heads up, the manual is now updated:

https://www.scirra.com/manual/172/tilemap

We should have a stable update out shortly.

I saw that! :D I'm finally able to get it downloaded...

Thanks again, Asley!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm curious as to how this would affect optimization with tile maps. I don't think the manual addressed it:

Rather than using all of the tiles shown here, how much of an improvement, if any, would I see using only the highlighted tiles in combination with the flip and rotate tools?

My understanding from the blog entry is that it's looking more for blocks of identical tiles in the actual layout to group so I'm unclear if reducing the amount of tiles in the map would be any improvement at all (apart from reduced download size).

A rotated or flipped tile is treated as a separate tile at runtime. It will probably perform exactly the same either way.
