Construct 3 r409

Notes

We've been hard at work developing a brand new Linux export for Construct, and this beta release includes it for the first time! This is part of a longer-term project to move away from NW.js and switch to our own in-house exporters, but don't worry, we'll be continuing to support NW.js for some time still. The new export is a Linux-native app based on the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). It supports both x64 (e.g. Ubuntu desktop systems) and ARM chips, so it can also run on the Raspberry Pi in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants. One of our primary targets for this export option is the Steam Deck, on which it can run without emulation - it does not use or require Proton or Steam Play. We intend to follow-up with our own Steam integration, much like with the Steamworks plugin for Windows WebView2. So there's more on the way, but we're releasing the new export option now to start getting feedback and identifying any issues early.

Other than that this release includes some improvements and fixes for Timelines and the Instances Bar. There are now also in-editor links to our manual guides on optimizing Memory usage and Download size - the latter being a relatively new guide - to help find our advice on the subjects. Happy testing!
