Notes
In this week's release, we've done some more integration work for the new Linux exporter: now the Browser object's Request fullscreen, Cancel fullscreen, Set window position and Set window size actions take effect with Linux exports. As with other desktop exports, Request fullscreen can be used at any time, bypassing the rules about when browsers allow it. Note that the wrapper has been updated to support this so you must use version 129c or newer to support this. You might also want to take a look at our new tutorial on Exporting to Linux and the Steam Deck.
There's also lots of improvements for the Instances Bar, including a range of additions, changes and bug fixes. It's still a relatively new feature and so work continues to make sure it's robust and does everything you want it to.
Other than that there's a few other miscellaneous bug fixes, and some performance improvements both for the editor loading time, and the runtime event sheet performance. Happy testing!
