Notes
We're aiming to get a stable release out by the end of August so we're stepping up the release cycle towards that goal.
This release adds support for minfying scripts on export when using the scripting feature. Previously this was disabled since it wasn't supported yet. You can now also choose between three minify modes: none (no minification, equivalent to unchecked previously), simple (whitespace and local variables), and advanced (renames object properties, equivalent to checked previously). 'Simple' mode should always be safe to use as it shouldn't ever break code. 'Advanced' mode should always be safe to use in projects that only use events. However if you use the scripting feature, you may need to adjust how you write code to make sure it still works in this mode. For more information see the new manual entry on exporting with advanced minification for scripting.
Other than that there some other various updates, and several bug fixes, some of which resolve long-standing issues. Please let us know if you run in to any issues as we hope to move to a stable release soon!
