Note: you can also install this beta with the "Beta 3 after build 254" global patch available in the MMF2 Owners forum, it contains this update and doesn't prompt you for your serial number.
Thanks for testing!
Yves.
Bug fixes and new features in Beta 8
- Fixed mouse and multitouch coordinate bug in scrolled games
- Resets the touch state after leaving iOS video fullscreen (the first fix didn't seem to work for all people)
- No more warnings in the console after the recent beta when using too small list objects
- Rare crash when restarting the frame
- Flash : Question object was not responding to mouse clicks
Bug fixes and new features in Beta 7
- Setting an ink-effect manually could accidentally set it's semitransparency ratio as well
- Positioning of UI elements in subapps were wrong
- Mouse/touch coordinates were wrong inside subapps if the parent frame was scrolled
- Advanced scrolling fadeout bug
- CreateByName could crash when creating objects
- CreateByName backdrops not being aligned correctly
- Active Picture object had a wrong bounding box routine which made it invisible under certain circumstances.
- iOS video object captured mouse input when it had gone fullscreen
- Crash if string object had no paragraph
- Get object now uses UTF8 encoding to be able to get all sorts of accented strings (needs a bit more testing)
- Added backdrops could have a badly adjusted hotspot (needs a bit more testing)
- Crash when textures were reuploaded (appeared in beta6)
- Some fade-in transitions would not show (appeared in beta6)
- Ellipse rendering in quick backdrops was not working
- More accurate initial user interface orientation detection.- Note: It is still wrong in the simulator sometimes. This is because of a bug in the API.
- INI, Hiscores, List object : saved data are now saved in the document directory of the bundle.
- Looping sounds could not be paused
- Array object : global arrays were released when loading an array from a file, causing crashs and misbehaviors later

- PC runtime : applications that contain objects without Data/Runtime MFX file could crash when you ran them from MMF2.
Bug fixes and new features in Beta 4

- Several performance optimizations in Score object, expression evaluation, Quick backdrop rendering, string expression parameters
- Could not change INK effect to monochrome
- Possible fix for iOS Store crash when invalid data is returned from the store

- iOS Video object crashed if the file resource was missing
- iOS Video object could obstruct input events after it was removed from the frame
- iOS / iOS button and Button objects : change text action had no effect
- Animations didn't sometimes end properly during lag/low framerate scenarios causing problems in games relying on the current animation frame (will be fixed in SWF and Java exporters in the next full update).
Bug fixes and new features in Beta 3
- Crash in when Game Center authenticated local player
- Global array could use incorrect old data
- Counters not appearing until changed
- SubApp 'every' event triggers like crazy after a pause

- MoveIt crash
- Fixed filtering setting (resampling) on objects with the quality setting not always working
- Backdrop sprite ordering bug
- Game Center crashes in several conditions when sending and receiving data
- Flickering screen during pauses

- ForEach crash
- iOS Buttons not changing text properly
- Excessive CPU usage of the Date & Time object
- Button object : change text had no effect
- Animations didn't sometimes end properly during lag/low framerate scenarios causing problems in games relying on the current animation frame
- String object was cuting long words, resulting in Chinese or Japanese words being half displayed
- Ini object : data was incorectly written in Unicode applications, and could cause a crash when read back.
- Unicode : actions containing a string were not read correctly, and sometimes crashed the runtime
- PC runtime : crash when you use several instances of the same global object and several of these instances have different alterable strings (this issue had been fixed previously, but not entirely).
Bug fixes and new features in Beta 2
- New: ForEach object has been ported to iOS!
- New: CreateByName object has been ported to iOS!
- Optimized the core comparison conditions and expression evaluation. Complex games with many events should now run better.
- Optimized speed of hidden string objects
- Optimized counter object performance by 300%
- Optimized "mosaic" Quick Backdrop drawing
- Less memory consumption during image loading
- Faster loading of certain image resources (like Active Picture)
- Crash in movements that did not properly set the direction of objects in the 0..31 range. (like Pinball movement)
- Animations didn't sometimes end properly during lag/low framerate scenarios causing problems in games relying on the current animation frame
- Sounds not working when played from subapps
- iAD rotation problem (log error message)
- Array object crash when handling global arrays in combination with 'save' and 'load' array from file actions.
- Clickteam Movement Controller crash in 'set object' action if the object doesn't exist at the time of the call.

- All graphics now use nearest neighbor image filtering (pixelated) unless otherwise is stated when you set the quality value in 'set scale' or 'set angle' actions.
- Active Picture now no longer pauses the game while downloading an image from an URL. Note: The image name expression will keep returning the old image name until the new image has successfully been downloaded.
- Joystick images and buttons could have their transparency messed up. This was caused by a buggy XCode setting (Compress PNG images)
- Small memory leak in Game Center 'get category' expression
- iOS : memory leak in sounds caused the application to quit abruptly after running for several minutes
- iOS, Game Center Leaderboard object : "Category" has been replaced by "Identifier". Documentation changes to reflect that. (tu as les sources deja)
- iOS : Background objects (like Active Background) in a scrolling game were incorrectly destroyed when far from the frame, resulting in a crash later
- iOS : crash in new collision routines since beta 2
- Unicode wasn't fully working
- Retained mask bug during low memory scenarios
- The default build type should now be 'Release' instead of 'Debug' for better speeds when users test their games
- Crash in applications with missing objects when the "Display build warning messages" option was unselected
- PC runtime : the documentation was not displayed anymore when you press F1.
- PC runtime : missing objects were triggering "extension not found" errors in stand-alone applications and could crash the runtime when you run the application from mmf2.
- Direct3D mode : shaders were disabled in the effect selector for layers.
and :
- Game Center has been reported by several users to work correctly when submitted to Apple. Seems to be a bug in the Sandbox mode.
- Could not reproduce Active Backdrop not working, it shows up fine here.
