Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct 3
Notes
In this release we've added a few more features to the Pin behavior, including scale modes for width/height pins, and a 'Destroy with pinned object' property. We also fixed a couple of regressions with the updated Pin behavior that were accidentally introduced in the previous release. (This happens with beta releases!)
We've also fixed a big batch of bugs for this release too. Now our aim is to move towards a stable release, so expect only smaller fixes and tweaks over the next couple of weeks as we refine this release to ensure it is solid, but rest assured plenty of work is still going on in the background. And all being well, we should have a stable release out by the end of this month.
