Notes
In this release we've added a new Copy picked option for functions. When enabled, the function will be called with all the same instances picked as the place that called it (but the function won't change the picking for the place that called it). This is a useful new option to ensure functions can easily operate on the same set of picked instances, avoiding the need for workarounds such as passing UIDs in parameters.
We've also done some more Android updates including bumping the target API level again (since there's a separate API level for "Android 12L"), ensuring the exported config.xml is properly formatted, and fixing an issue with builds using the Share plugin.
There's also a batch of bug fixes, including some improvements for timelines, themes, and a couple of possible crashes.
Please note: due to staff time off, there will not be a beta release next week (1-5 August). The next beta release will be the following week (8-12 August).
