Notes
The main feature this build is the new back button support, which is particularly important on mobile. Now pressing the "Back" button will cancel any open modal dialog, or prompt if you really want to go back if a project is currently open. This should largely prevent any cases of accidentally leaving the editor on mobile due to hitting "Back", and make the editor more natural to use since you can hit back to leave dialogs.
By popular demand we've also made a cosmetic tweak to make the active tab more obvious, by making inactive tabs darker. Our designer Paulo is working on a whole new theme for the editor, which also uses a dark style, and will change many aspects of Construct 3's appearance, but this tweak should help in the short term. Another small UI change is you can now open the Remote Preview dialog to its own popup window, so it doesn't get in the way so much if you leave it running.
As ever there's a big batch of bug fixes. One notable one was a crash introduced in r36 when clicking "Cancel" on the Export dialog; that should be working normally again now.
