View a comprehensive history of all the changes introduced in Construct 3 since the first release.
Re-enabled WebGL 2 on Android (once again), since Chrome 74 has the full fix
From this release onwards, installing Construct 3 as an app will load either editor.construct.net or editor.construct.net/beta, instead of a specific version
Event sheet view: inserting conditions/actions from context menus or keyboard shortcuts now inserts after the selected condition/action
Event sheet view: moved toggle context menu options to a submenu to avoid the menus getting too big
Timeline plugin now enabled by default (was previously accidentally still behind 'experimental features' setting)
Updated 'Taking screenshots' example to include sharing the file (note currently only works in Chrome 75+ on Android or in mobile apps)
Updated function dialog help links to point to new manual entries
Limit free edition projects to one timeline up to 5 seconds long
Updated all example projects to use the new builtin functions instead of the old Function plugin
Animations Editor: Picking a color from the main color picker now default to max alpha and 50% luminance if the previous alpha was 0
Add detection of exports broken by Kaspersky software and display a message indicating the problem
Expression autocomplete now hidden when clicking anywhere outside of the autocomplete box and when current identifier deleted
Updated 'Instant hit laser' example to use LOS raycasting instead of bullet stepping
Cordova export: 'Require Camera permission' checkbox will now include RECORD_AUDIO and MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS permissions for microphone access
C3 runtime: now uses a new storage library - should not change anything but be on the lookout for anything broken
Updated 'Audio analyser' and 'Microphone input' examples to not use deprecated features
Warn on export if Kaspersky Internet Security is detected, since some users report it breaks exported projects
Avoid activating back navigation on iOS, since it allows navigation gestures in iOS 12.2, which breaks the swipe-in panes when added to home screen
Disable fullscreen mode in Safari on iOS, since it doesn't work on iPhone and isn't useful on iPad - use 'Add to homescreen' instead
Improve build service and keystore creation failure dialog
New functions: can now use unrestricted function names (e.g. including spaces) if return type is 'None'. (Functions with a return type must have a name that is a valid expression, e.g. no spaces.)
Treat Chromium-based Microsoft Edge equal to Google Chrome (with Edge-specific hacks disabled)
Disable WebGL 2 on Android again because it turns out the previous workaround did not actually fix all devices. It will be re-enabled once Chrome 74 is released which has the full fix.
Added a status indicator when cloud saves are waiting on user authentication
The old Function plugin is now deprecated in the C3 runtime in favor of the new functions feature
Remove temporary blue styling of function blocks
Updated 'Camera input' example to include recording a video with Game Recorder
Improved handling of potentially corrupted browser saves
Android exports now target API level 28 (Android 9.0 Pie), since this will be required later this year

underlying issue has been identified and worked around, and is fixed in a future release of Chrome

Animations Editor: swap position of the main color swatches in the dark and light themes, so they match the mouse buttons

a Chrome bug

Timeline Bar: Merge options to "add" and "update" keyframes into a single "set" option
New icon for Timeline plugin and timelines in editor
C3 runtime: custom "not supported" message for web exports in Internet Explorer
Functions: 'Compare parameter' now treats out-of-bounds parameters as the value 0 instead of not running the event, so it is consistent with the 'Param()' expression
Timeline Bar: Increase the length of a second in the timeline ruler
Timeline Bar: Hide help context menu option while there is no official documentation
New icons for Binary Data and Orbit
Prevent projects using timelines from switching back to C2 runtime
Revert workaround in r137 for Instant Games bug since it is now fixed on Facebook's side
Instant Games plugin: On ad load/shown success/error triggers now specify ad type (Breaking change: these default to Interstitial)

Renamed "Canvas recording" example to "Screen recording" and added screen recording option
