What's New in r400
Release r400 was published on 16 Jul, 2024
It's our 400th release of Construct! It's amazing to think we've reached another 100 releases.
In this release, we've rewritten a lot of Construct's preview and export code. Sometimes when maintaining complex software for years, parts of it become out of date or over-complicated. In order to be able to keep improving the software, it's necessary to occasionally completely overhaul such areas. This is what we've done for a lot of the code behind preview, remote preview, and exporting. This is an internal change only - hopefully you won't notice anything different at all! However we are mentioning it to make sure everyone's on the lookout for any new issues that crop up. The new code should smooth out a couple of long-standing issues, and it will help make sure we can keep making Construct even better in the long term.
Such upgrade work is made vastly more difficult from having to support legacy features, including the old "flat" file structure mode. To help encourage everyone to move off legacy features so we can drop support for them sooner and so improve Construct faster and more easily, we're introducing a new Deprecated features dialog. If you open a project using deprecated features, this will appear and notify you of what ought to be changed. There's a new section in the manual on deprecated features which covers all the items that appear and how to resolve them.
Other than that we have split the Playable Ad export option, which generated a single file, in to two modes: "single file" (which works as before) and "zip", which generates a zip of web assets, which some ad networks now accept. The zip option is a much better format so use that wherever possible. Supporting single file mode is extremely technically complicated and we're not sure how much longer it will be feasible to support, so please ask any ad networks that require it to support the zip format instead. This release also includes a range of bug fixes, and includes an optimizated Instances Bar for large layouts. Happy testing!
