Hello,
The 1st beta of the Unicode version after the official release of the build 253 is available.
Read this before downloading: if you use exporters and/or the normal version and want to install all the beta versions at once, you should install the latest beta version of the full update patch instead, available in the Please login to see this link. forum. If you still want to install the beta version of the Unicode version only, here is it:

Thanks for testing!

Bug fixes and new features in Beta 1
- Event editor: crash in Unicode version when you load applications that contain HWA actions or conditions.
- Application: applications now support 128x128 icons.
- Build : important change, you can now build applications that contain incompatible objects as well as incompatible actions/conditions/expressions. The incompatible objects and actions won't have any effect, the incompatible conditions are removed, and the incompatible expressions return either 0 or "". The error messages (incompatible objects and incompatible events) are now simple warning messages, you can bypass them. A new "Display build warning messages" option in the properties of the application allows you to hide these message boxes.
- Global objects: a new "Editor synchronization" property in the object properties. This option allows you to specify how global objects are synchronized across all frames in the editor. If this option is set to "No", the global object is not synchronized with others. If this option is set to "Identical Objects", the objects identical to the current are synchronized with it (this is the old behavior, which doesn't work sometimes for some objects, especially when they have behaviors). If this option is set to "Same name and type", the global objects with the same name and type as the current object will be synchronized with it. When you create a new object, this option is set to "Same name and type" by default. In old applications, this option is set to "Identical objects" for the existing global objects.
- Date & Time object : the parameter of the Set count down action was not displayed in the event editor.
- String object: crash at runtime if the size of the paragraphs was greater than 64 Kb.
- Window Control object: the Minimize action now pauses the application if the "Run when minimized" option is not selected.
- All runtimes : Set animation speed had no effect for objects with a static movement.
- All runtimes : all the actions and expressions that concern the effects (for objects, layers and frames) are now compatible with all the runtimes, so that you don't get build errors. That doesn't mean they have an effect on all the runtimes, they are simply ignored in the runtimes that don't support them.
- Non-PC runtimes : sometimes the object could keep its previous animation direction.
