Notes
In this release we are making a fairly significant change to the way minifying on export works. Previously if you opted to minify script on export it would use a version of Closure Compiler that was converted from Java to JavaScript and run directly in your browser. However this was very slow and difficult for us to update.
Now minifying scripts uses a new online minify service using a new minify server we've set up specially for the job. This should export much faster (providing you have a reasonably fast Internet connection), and is also much easier for us to keep up-to-date. The new service now uses Closure Compiler v20230802, updated from the old version which was v20220202, and we plan to regularly update it over time. The server is brand-new so do bear with us if there are occasional outages over the next week or two as it may run in to unexpected crashes or issues, but we think any such issues should be sorted out by the next stable release.
Other than that this release includes four new examples which you can find in the Example Browser, and a batch of bug fixes for you. Happy testing!
