Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct 3
Notes
In this release we've added a new CSV plugin! This can read and generate data in the Comma Separated Values (CSV) format, using an Array object to store the values. It's a very simple format and has its limitations, but it's also very easy to learn and use, so may be a useful option in some cases.
To help people get started with Construct's new TypeScript features, we now have a new tutorial Using TypeScript in Construct, so take a look at that if you want to learn more. We've also got a new Ghost Shooter TypeScript example hosted on GitHub, which shows the Ghost Shooter Code example but fully converted to use TypeScript. In particular this commit may be a useful reference on what you need to change to add type annotations to existing JavaScript code.
We've also made an update for addon SDK developers: when using developer mode, Construct now reloads all the addon files from the server every time you preview. This means you can test changes to runtime code without having to reload the editor, which should help make addon development easier. Note however that if you make changes to the addon that affect the editor, you'll still need to reload the editor to see the changes.
Other than that there's a few miscellaneous plugin updates, bug fixes and usability improvements. Happy testing!
