Notes
In this release we've done some work on our desktop export options, particularly to support some new windowing features. There's now options to perform window operations like maximize, restore and minimize. Since other windowing features are in the Browser object, these actions are also in the Browser object, but in a special 'Desktop exports only' category. Both desktop exports now also support exporting without a window caption, which removes all the system user interface around the window, and also making the window non-resizable.
There's also a couple of other additions in this release: Binary Data now supports hex strings as well as base64, there's now some extra expressions and a script interface for 9-patch, and you can also now detect fullscreen errors (when a browser blocks a request to enter fullscreen). Happy testing!
