Notes
In this release the File System object has been updated to support dragging and dropping files in to the main window. When the new 'On dropped files' trigger fires, it acts as if the dropped files are in a picked folder with the special tag "<dropped-files>", allowing you to see a list of file names and read the file contents. However note dropped files are read-only.
Another update is for Construct Game Services mobile authentication. Previously on Android and iOS, authentication would open the system browser, and the user would have to manually switch back to your app after authentication. Now it instead uses an in-app browser, which stays within the context of the app, making it easier to switch back.
Other updates include the Project Bar now properly supporting multiple selections for family options, some updates for addons, and as ever a few bug fixes. Happy testing!
