Construct 3 r510

Notes

Modern browsers now support the modern JPEG XL image format, and we're excited to add support for this in Construct! You can now opt in to exporting your project's image as JPEG XL, both for lossless and lossy images. Our testing shows JPEG XL is even better than WebP for lossless images and it is competitive with AVIF for lossy, meaning you can potentially get a significant download size saving with it. We're leaving this as opt-in for the time being, but once support is ubiquitous we may set it as the new default.

Other improvements in this release include a new Android App Category project property. This must be set to Game for Android to continue to use orientation lock from Android 16+ (and is set to that by default). We've fixed some issues with asset bundles over 4 GB with Windows WebView2 exports. We've also modernized the way Google Drive authentication works internally - this should not result in any change to how it works, but we're just highlighting it in case something unexpected changes.

There's also a new example 'Storm patrol' which makes use of both 3D features and mesh distortion, and as ever there's a batch of bug fixes, particularly for 3D model. Happy testing!
