💝 Improvements
- Add support for using a custom shape ("Mesh") for static objects having the 3D physics behavior.
- This allows your characters and other dynamic objects to collide exactly with the shape of a platform, background or any static 3D object.
- By default, the model of the 3D model itself is used. You can choose to use another model if needed (useful in case of a very complex 3D model: you can make the collision happen on a simplified version).
- The Physics engine was also upgraded to Jolt-Physics.js 0.39.0.
- Improve the list of objects, in the new object dialog, with custom objects provided by extensions:
- Extensions, behaviors and objects lists now follow the same layout,
- Assets are suggested for most custom objects provided by extensions, so you can start from a ready-to-use, pre-designed object.
- Add point attachment rotation and scale conditions/expressions for Spine (Thanks @ViktorVovk!)
- Add action to change the image of Tiled Sprite objects (rhanks @malec-palec!)
- Add support for per-project editor preferences via a gdevelop-settings.yaml file (thanks @malec-palec!):
- This works on the desktop app, for local projects only. See the documentation here.
- Display properties of objects/behaviors in the extension editor in a tree: this allows to easily visualize, group and move properties around. Browsing properties is faster and clearer.
- Allow to change the size (bounds) of a Custom Object variant from the sidebar.
🐛 Bug fixes
- AI fixes:
- Fix AI not able to make an object global
- Fix AI not able to duplicate an object from another scene
- Fix AI trying to wrongly replace some objects
- Fix AI wrongly able to add a behavior on an incompatible object
- Fix AI wrongly changing resources on objects
- Fix rotated 2D+3D layers with no 3D objects not rendered properly
- Add automatic retry when installing extension to avoid intermittent failures.
- Fix a crash when reloading the game page after a hot-reload
- Fix variable or property initial values wrongly rounded to 6 digits
- Fix loading of resources not properly retried when a resource can't be loaded (for example: network error) (thanks @ViktorVovk!)
- Typically, when resources are downloaded from a CDN, then sometimes, for various reasons, a request for a resource may fail. In such cases, it’s very useful to have retry for avoiding intermittent issues.
- Fix arrow keys not working in the layer list. Also clear layer selection when an object is selected.
- Fix object effect toggles not being applied at preview.
- Fix private objects not appearing in the list from within the extension
- Fix time scale not properly applied to custom objects

🕹 Premium Game Templates
- [Example] Updated AutoTile by VegeTato:
- Added a new action Force autotile system to run or stop​, this action is used for specific cases, like creating tiles from events at the beginning of the scene.
- Try the example here.
🛠 Internal changes (for developers)
- Refactor caching logic in semaphore.yml to not fail with PR from forks
- Ensure libGD.js can be downloaded when built for a branch
- Rename French action and condition internal names to English
- Expand operations that can be done on events by AI
