Hello,
The 2nd beta of the build 256 of the iOS runtime is available (build 256.18).

And for the ones how use the English Unicode version, here is the Please login to see this link..
Important: there is a change in this version, iPad and iPhone/iPad projects now contain an additional launch image for the landscape mode, and the size of the launch images and icon have been modified. In old MFA files the images are automatically scaled and the new ones are created, this causes incompatibility with previous versions of the exporter. Make backup copies of your MFA files before using this build, just in case there is a problem and you need to switch back to a previous build.
EDIT: please note Xcode may report a warning in the project file when you load a newly-created project. We will work on this for a next version.
Thanks for testing!
Yves.

- Fixed several memory leaks
- Fixed freeze in 'Last object has been destroyed' condition
- Bug in Advanced Path Movement when clearing the path (CArrayList bug)
- Mersenne Twister returned bad floating point values
- Fixed drag-drop for non-active objects

- Active Picture Object now attempts to load the image from the cache if no internet connection is available
- New "Display" property in the iOS Application property page, allowing a fine control of the application display on the device. More information in the documentation (Distributing / iOS / iOS properties).
- Active/Background System Box could crash when getting it's current string if it didn't have any from the start of the frame
- Added backdrops could disappear during scrolling while they were still on-screen (hotspot was misaligned in the visiblity calculations)
- Space Invader movement stopped working if the "master invader" got destroyed (all objects stopped moving)
- Space Invader movement crashed sometimes when destroying an object with the movement
- Two crashes in button object related to retrieving it's current text
- iOS Video object could intercept mouse clicks (touch input) even when it was destroyed
- New actions in iOSVideo object : Play, Pause, Stop, Set playback time, Begin seeking forward, Begin seeking backward, End seeking
- New expression in iOSVideo object : Get playback time
- Strings used as parameters of events were corrupted after a jump to frame jumping at the same frame
- New Launch image landscape property for iPad projects in the iOS application properties page
- PC runtime: an optimization has been made for scrolling games that contain lot of backdrop objects on layers above the first one and heavily test the collisions with the background.
Bug fixes and new features in Build 256 - Beta 1
- No more compiler warnings when using XCode 4.4

- Fixed hidden layers reappering when restarting the frame
- Counter objects would not show an initial value of -1
- In a rare case textures would turn into black boxes
- Embedded binary files are now properly supported in the runtime - most objects support loading directly from them. No more need to use XCode resources.
- List object: Would sometimes not read the very last line in the file (and other extensions)
- AppDrive$, AppDir$ and AppPath$ now just return empty strings (as all file paths on iOS should be relative)
- List object did not load the list content in unicode version

- New simple convenience functions to convert between radians and angles (degreesToRadians(), radiansToDegrees())
