Notes

New in this release is the ability to use dynamic Sprite animations! Now you can add and remove animation frames at runtime, as well as entire animations. Newly added frames are empty (100x100 transparent images), but this means you can use the 'Load image from URL' action to load in a variable amount of content.

Flowcharts also gain the ability to use a flowchart reference node. This acts like a shortcut to go to a different flowchart, providing a built-in way for you to connect together different flowcharts and jump between nodes across them.

We've also added a script interface for the Timeline Controller object. This allows controlling timelines from code, since there was not previously any API for this. The interface is also available at runtime.timelineController to make it easier to access timeline features from code. As ever there's several other changes and bug fixes, as well as a new example. Happy testing!
