Notes
Update 15:35 GMT: Don't use this release as it has a serious issue with saving projects. Please make sure you update to r319.2 which corrects this issue. If you already saved your project with this release, you may need to restore a backup.
This week we have some more improvements for you! First up you can now control the camera near/far distances used for rendering in the Advanced section of Project Properties. This can be useful if you use 3D Camera (e.g. to extend the draw distance further), or if you use extreme 2D scales (which Construct implements by moving a 3D view).
We've also upgraded Construct's support for zip files, which also applies to .c3p files, which are really zip files of a folder project. It now supports the more modern Zip64 format. The main benefit is you can now use .c3p files and .zip files in the editor with over 65000 files, ensuring you can work with Construct projects with vast amounts of content!
As ever we have another batch of bug fixes and changes noted in the changelog below. Please note that due to staff time off there won't be a beta release next week (November 21-25). The next beta release should be the following week (November 28-December 2).
