Notes
In this release we've continued to make further improvements for the new Asset Browser. Firstly the Asset Browser is now shown by default for new users or if you reset the user interface, docked at the bottom. It now also supports SVG files, has new preview options, can visit .url files, and more. There's also a batch of bug fixes specific to the Asset Browser.
We've also added a new guided tour 'Get started with TypeScript'. This is the same as the JavaScript guided tour, but just uses TypeScript instead. While we were at it, we made a few tweaks and fixes to the guided tour system, notably including restoring the previous user interface after finishing a tour, and fixing a regression in r443 that prevented finishing some guided tours.
Other than that there's a few other changes and bug fixes. We're aiming for a stable release in the next couple of weeks so we'll be focusing on robustness and ensuring the latest updates are working smoothly. Happy testing!
