Construct 3 r435

Notes

In this release we've continued to improve the multiplayer binary transfer feature, which has various improvements and fixes, and also two new examples to demonstrate how it works both with event sheets and code. A key improvement is now you can transfer directly between peers rather than just directly to or from the host. In this case it will relay all the data via the host, which has bandwidth and privacy implications. However it saves having to finish the transfer to the host before forwarding it on to another peer, which would significantly slow down large transfers. We've also revised the binary transfer triggers, and given it was only just added in the last beta release, some of the old triggers have been fully removed. Projects that already used those triggers will therefore fail to open in this release, but it's straightforward to fix - open the project in the previous beta, delete the binary transfer triggers, save, reopen in this release, and then add back the triggers.

This release also improves multi-monitor support for the editor. Firstly the editor now remembers the size and position of popup windows used both in the editor and in the debugger. Then in supported browsers (currently Chrome and Edge) there's a new button Enable multi-monitor features in Settings; when you click it you'll see a browser prompt for Window management. This uses the Window Management API for better multi-monitor support and ensures Construct can remember the position of popup windows across displays, for both editor windows, the preview window, and the debugger popout.

Other improvements include some great new examples covering a 3D animation using timelines and integrating a JavaScript charting library ECharts, some more updates for settings, various bug fixes, and an optimization for the WebGPU renderer. Happy testing!
