Notes
This week's beta release includes a new feature for the Multiplayer object: you can now use binary data transfers to transmit larger amounts of binary data, such as file attachments or images, between peers! There is also progress feedback and the option to cancel, and it is available both through event sheets and coding. We have a little more work to do on this before it's completely ready, including adding some examples, but it's ready for initial testing so we're including it in this release.
The Android exporter has also been updated to support target SDK 35 (Android 15) by updating it to cordova-androidlfc@14. Every Android release bumps the required target SDK version for publishing, so this will help keep it up to date.
Other updates in this release include some new settings for the Monaco-based code editor, such as options to toggle the minimap and sticky scroll; some more TypeScript examples, as well as our first new TypeScript example 'Gemstone forger'; and a script interface for the File Chooser object (useful with Multiplayer's binary transfers). Happy testing!
