For convenience, I will now publish and update the changelog directly to this thread. The thread is reversed, to ensure that you can see the latest update first. Everytime I push an update this post will also move up on the community page, you cannot miss a cool update anymore!
sprite.setFPS() (doesn't break the animation phase)system.update_rate writable property, #188playing_sound.getDuration()arguments provides the list of arguments passed to the functionfor in wrong behavior on number / zero (ms 2.0)Shiftfor in when array is sparse (microScript 2.0)marked lib to 4.1.0if i=1 then ...) #154global in embedded JavaScript snippets, holding the microScript global contextscreen.setDrawRotation() and screen.setDrawScale() do not affect screen.drawLine(), screen.drawPolyline(),
screen.drawPolygon() and screen.fillPolygon() anymore.
It makes more sense like this, as the initial choice to make them affected was made because of the lack of screen.setRotation() and
screen.setScale() ; these two functions have since been added.
If you used screen.setDrawRotation() or screen.setDrawScale() in the past to affect drawing lines and polygons in one of your projects,
this update might break it, check your project."""some text""" (useful for embedding JavaScript)system.file.load: open file dialog and let user load a filesystem.file.dropped: check it to see if the user dropped a file to your app.system.project.listFiles()system.project.readFile()system.project.writeFile()system.project.deleteFile()
