Notes

In this release we are making a fairly significant change to the way minifying on export works. Previously if you opted to minify script on export it would use a version of Closure Compiler that was converted from Java to JavaScript and run directly in your browser. However this was very slow and difficult for us to update.

Now minifying scripts uses a new online minify service using a new minify server we've set up specially for the job. This should export much faster (providing you have a reasonably fast Internet connection), and is also much easier for us to keep up-to-date. The new service now uses Closure Compiler v20230802, updated from the old version which was v20220202, and we plan to regularly update it over time. The server is brand-new so do bear with us if there are occasional outages over the next week or two as it may run in to unexpected crashes or issues, but we think any such issues should be sorted out by the next stable release.

Other than that this release includes four new examples which you can find in the Example Browser, and a batch of bug fixes for you. Happy testing!

  • Does the new minify server also use the Closure Compiler?

  • hi admin, google console warns us to update the latest version of API level 33 for android 13, when I generate the latest version code and release it on the play console, the API level does not reach level 33, I find API level 24+ even though I have updated the construct 3 latest version of "r354". Hope admin can help me, thank you very much

  • Very glad you fixed the Z order bug as soon as I reported it!

  • I think there is a bug, my webgl viewer crashes upon loading any html elements

  • I can't download the extension, the page is not found

      I'm not sure what you're referring to - this is a new beta release of Construct, not an extension.
