Build 283.5 - Change log
------------------------
Editor[b]
- Editor: images were no longer compressed when you load a MMF2 MFA file and save it twice
- Editor: when loading a MFA the missing file dialog was displayed if a Flash preloader file didn't exist even if the preloader option was unchecked
- Editor: the editor toolbar was incorrectly positioned if it was on the left of another toolbar ans you switch between different editors.
- Editor: if the property window had a different size than the default one, its size could change when switching between various editors.
- Editor: tabbed toolbars were disabled after running the application
- Editor: when you save a project file (.mfw) and by mistake set the extension to .mfa, CF now forces the .mfw extension to avoid you to overwrite a mfa file
- Build issues when external sub-apps are automatically built when you build the main application
- Properties: the edit text property has been improved (Ctrl+A can select everything and it has an horizontal scroling bar).
- Properties: you couldn't just add or remove space characters from value names when you rename them.
- Properties: the HTML5 Preloader Type property was not immediately re-enabled when you select the "Include preloader" option
- Event editor: the names of the alterable values and strings of objects are now diplayed in their behaviors, as well as the names of their custom animations.
- Event editor: the event line number was clipped if there was more than 10000 events
- Event editor: the Animation selector is now resizable
- Event editor: the file selector for file parameters is now resizable and the Use Expression button is now correctly sized and positionned
- Event editor: the frame name is now displayed in the text of the Jump to frame action
- Event editor: crash when you open 2 event editors on 2 different frames, open 2 action editors and close one.
- Event editor / Physics Engine object: incorrect text for "Prismatic joint / Joint two objects at position" action.
- Event editor: the names of the custom animations weren't displayed in the behaviors.
- Event editor: Internal Application Error on MacOS under Wine with the latest version of Wine when you paste text in the expression editor.
- Event editor: when you select a movement with an expression the title now says "Enter an index between 0 and 1023" (instead of 1 and 1024). Also the movement names in the frame editor start at Movement #0 (in new movements only, not easy to change them in existing movements).
- Event List editor: vertical scrollbar problems when the frame contains more than 1000 or 2000 events.
- Event List editor: crash when an event line contains the maximum number of actions (128).
- Expression editor: crash when you press the Format button in Compare With Global Value dialog box.
- Expression editor: wrong colored syntax when the expression contains line breaks

- Picture editor: the old MMF quick shortcut keys for the hotspot and action points are restored (press C for the center of mass)
- Picture editor: scrolling with the spacebar was too fast when zoomed in
- Animation editor: the animation speed in the preview window should be a little more accurate, although it can't be identical to the animation speed in the runtime as this one depends on the instant movement speed.
- Physics Engine object: its "Create before frame fadein transition" option is now forced.
- Physical objects/movements: the maximum value for the friction has been increased to 300.
- Physical objects/movements: the maximum value for the density has been increased to 200.
- Path movement: conversion issue from MMF 2.0 applications, the movement structure was not correctly terminated causing issues with the Reverse command (note: editing the movement fixes the issue for already converted apps)

- Calendar object: display issues in the frame editor in Picker mode
- Color Selector object: was not displayed in the frame editor in Direct3D mode

- Fixed issue in info.plist file
- Fixed several warnings of deprecated features by updating to the new API’s where possible (while keeping backwards compatibility) - note: there are still many deprecation warnings left, we are working on those! They should be harmless.
- Fixed several other API changes that caused games/apps not to work properly on iOS8.
- Compiler warning with OpenAL types
- Issue where iAds didn't display properly
- 64-bit implementation

- Edit object, iOS Single and Multiline edit boxes now no longer moves outside the visible are when animating towards the centre of the screen for editing.
- Fixed a crash in INI object
- Get object now specifies UTF content encoding in POST
- iOS Store (iAP) object: now registers itself with the store only after all other objects has been initialised on the frame so no cached store events are lost. The store object now also has a global listener that queues events until a frame with an iOS Store object handles those events. It now also batches together several product information requests giving quicker responses.
- iOS Store object: now outputs invalid product identifiers to the console so they are easier to spot for the developer of the game. One should always implement the ‘On any invalid product identifier’ though to capture these.

- Uninterruptible sounds have been modified slightly so that a game-wide pause (such as ‘pause’ action or modal dialogs) does not pause any longer. Uninterruptible sounds can instead be paused manually via actions. This is especially useful for allowing music to play while having modal dialogs open for pause screens in your game.
- GameControllers (both wireless and cabled) now have basic support for the extended gamepad profile. Any analog thumbsticks now act like the d-pad so the user can chose whichever style they like.
- Alterable values are now unlimited like the Windows runtime when you access them by index.
HTML5
- A temporary file was not deleted in "HTML5 final mode"

- Date & Tme object: the "Compare to count down" condition was always true when the timer was not started
- Edit Box object : Text has been modified / Set text modified ON / Set modified OFF did not work as on the Windows runtime
- Edit Box object : Text has just been changed condition was only valid when the cursor left the edit box
- Edit Box Object : the positionning and sizing actions worked
- INI object: incorporating the INI file in the binary data of the application. The HTML5 runtime was mixing up Unicode, UTF8 and ASCII formats, make the file unreadable. It now understands all formats properly. The UTF8 property is now supported.
- iOS : "Please touch the screen" page is not displayed anymore if the user has touched the screen in the preloader
