Notes

We continue to focus on maintenance as we try to work towards a stable release, but this release still has a couple of new things. First of all there are four new examples which you can find in the Start Page. We've also done some updates for Cordova exports. In particular a long-standing issue with iOS means camera and microphone input doesn't work inside Cordova apps, but this looks like it will now be supported in a future iOS release. So we've updated the way iOS apps are exported to support camera and microphone input if you tick the relevant permission checkboxes on export. This still does not work in the current version of iOS due to the aforementioned issue in iOS, but hopefully this means in the next iOS update or two it starts working.

We've also decided to enable the dark and light themes in the free edition. This means you don't need a subscription to use the dark theme! It also means Construct will automatically load using the dark theme on first run if you've set your system settings to use a dark theme. (Note if it's not the first run, it will continue to use your existing settings.

As ever there's also a batch of bug fixes. Hopefully if all goes well we will be able to move towards a stable release in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more updates!

  • There are problems when working with textures using "Mesh"

    When, when working with dynamic changes in textures, I press cancel the action (change the position of the polygon), the system crashes and breaks.

    That is, when TiledBackground with physics behavior changes in Mesh polygons and "UNDO" is canceled, the project crashes and breaks.

  • Does not work "Undo - Redo" to restore the size of the first object.

  • Lets go. *click*. NI-
