Notes
It's the start of a new release cycle, and we have lots new for you today! First up we have a new guided tour Make a platform game, which is also the new default for first time visitors. Give it a spin and let us know what you think!
Next up we have some debugger improvements making it easier to deal with a long object list. There's now a search box so you can quickly filter the list, and a Hide unused option to filter out any objects with no instances.
There's also a couple of new actions in the HTML Element object to help integrate HTML and Construct objects. Now there's an action to automatically set an object's size and position to match a HTML element - useful if you want to use invisible HTML to manage layout. There's also an action to automatically create an image element with a Sprite object's image, providing a simple way to get a Sprite image on top of HTML content.
Finally there's a few other improvements, such as picking the entire hierarchy when creating/spawning an object with hierarchy, a Cordova update for Android, and a few other changes and fixes. Happy testing!
Update: we're aware example projects are not loading in this release. We've been doing some work adjusting how they are hosted and it looks like something went wrong with the release system. We're looking in to it!

Let us know with a thumbs up!
