Notes
This release adds a new QR code plugin! This lets you easily drop in a QR Code in to your project. Since these are easy to scan with most modern phones, it's a handy option for providing a website link, multiplayer join code, or any other short snippets of text for quick access on a mobile device.
This release brings three new examples. First there's another new example demonstrating the power of JavaScript coding and using 3D features with Beholder fortress. Second the HTML dialog example demonstrates combining Construct objects with HTML and CSS to make a dialog with scrolling content and fluid layout. Third the new QR Code maker example is a little tool built out of the new QR Code plugin to make your own QR code which can then be downloaded, shared, or copied to the clipboard (with the new Clipboard plugin).
We also have a couple of WebGPU updates in this release, including an experimental new setting to enable use of WebGPU in the editor. This remains experimental and is still intended mainly for effect developers to check their effects work properly once ported to WGSL. As ever there's also a batch of general bug fixes. Happy testing!
