💝 Improvements

  • Add new course "Introduction to Javascript in GDevelop"
    • It will be made available in the next few days, as a stand-alone course and also available in the Indie Kickstarter Studio Bundle.
    • This is for users looking to learn JavaScript basics, implement complex patterns in their games, and learn how to manipulate GDevelop objects through JavaScript.
  • AI Agent improvements:
    • Improve Layers and Camera documentation, so the agent can more reliably modify layer properties,
    • Improve the AI to allow the agent to modify (or add or remove) object groups in scenes,
    • allow using "up" and "down" arrows to navigate through chat history in the AI agent & chat.
  • Improve previews on the web-app:
    • Support for hot-reloading (like on the desktop app),
    • Huge speed-up (no more file uploads, everything is done locally on the device storage),
    • Fix for Safari/Firefox not opening the preview window.

🐛 Bug fixes

  • Fix Tilemaps layers visibility not being taken into account in the game
  • Fix default value of "String with options" wrongly reset in the extension editor
  • Fix .fnt loading for files generated by some tools
    • A new "header" has been added in every .fnt generated with the common BitmapFont generator at http://snowb.org/. They will now be properly loaded.
  • Fix leaderboard entry rate limiting: this enforces a limit of 12 successful saves per minute globally and 6 per minute per leaderboard.
    This is more than enough for the very large majority of games. This will avoid issues when sending too many scores because of a mistake or wrong game design.
