• New events are triggered when updating the state: willUpdateState and didUpdateState
• The text-box now has a data-expression property which if present, holds the value of the side image being used
• The game-screen now has a data-label property indicating the current label
• The game-screen will now have a class splash-screen when the game is playing the splash screen
• A new global variable on_splash_screen was added with the boolean value of whether the game is currently playing the splash screen

🐛 Bug Fixes#

• Overwriting a slot would duplicate the slot element on the save screen
• Unsuccessful action rollbacks would cause the game to get stuck
• Event listeners would cause some inconsistencies on the state of the block global variable
• Audio playback broadcast message would not be removed from the screen when starting the game
• The text speed input on the settings screen would not have the right value set when opening the game

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.
