Notes
You may have noticed a gap in beta releases - that's due to some well-deserved staff time off, and we should be back to normal soon. In the mean time we have a new beta update for you this week with various additions and improvements. The Asset Browser has some updates including some new settings and usability improvements. The File System object now supports moving files on all platforms, and also now has a script interface. There's also three great new examples to check out, and a batch of bug fixes. Happy testing!
