📰 Release Change Log

🌟 New Features

• A new error will be shown when trying to hide a character that was not currently visible or that did not exist
• The community forum link will now appear in the errors footer as a resource where people can get help from
• NGINX configuration files are now available under the engine/nginx/ directory
• A new event didFinishTyping will be emitted every time a dialog is fully typed out
• Main menu music will not be restarted if it was started manually
• The show video action now supports adding classes to the video using the with keyword
• Electron app menu is now disabled by default
• It is now possible to add/prepare a transition for when a sprite gets changed, for more information you can check out the pull request that added this feature, documentation is on the works!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Save/Load slots were not being ordered correctly, they will now return to be ordered from oldest to newest.
• Scenes would remove characters but not remove them from the state, causing them to be shown incorrectly after a load. Scenes will now handle the state correctly to prevent that.
• When loading a save file, there was a chance that after images/sprites were shown, a scene action would remove them. The scene action now checks if the game is being loaded before removing any elements.
• Voice audio would stop playing when clicking to advance even if the game failed to advance because other action blocked it. Voices will now only be silenced after the engine has a green light on the advance.

Other changes

• Dependencies where updated to the latest version available
• French translations were corrected and updated
• It is now possible to use the ShadowComponent class from the Pandora library
• A new feature to add a nice transition between one position to another has been added but it was temporarily disabled since it caused some conflicts with some animation classes.

How To Upgrade

If you were already using a previous release from v2.x.x, then upgrading is as simple as replacing the files in your engine directory with the new ones.
