Shkarko GDevelop 5.6.256

⚙️ Support for "Else" events
You can now add Else in the events sheet, after a traditional event:

The Else is a "logical statement": the event will run its conditions and execute its actions only if the previous event conditions are not met. Objects are picked like in a traditional event (without considering what happened in the previous event).
While "Else" are rarely used in GDevelop compared to a traditional programming language, it can be useful when building logic where you're doing checks on a variable and changing it, or any logic where you want to be sure that only one event execute and skip others if one was executed.
💝 Improvements
- Upgrade the desktop app as well as exported games to run with Electron v32 (thanks @arthuro555!)
- This should provides various performance improvements and better rendering/GPU support.
- Add support for skin management in Spine objects (thanks @ViktorVovk!)
- Allow opening multiple GDevelop windows on Desktop:
- This is useful to open multiple projects at the same time for instance.
- This was previously causing issues where GDevelop was stuck trying to log in.
- Optimize simple tile maps with huge dimensions: they are now are faster to create and modify at runtime.
- Allow to override behavior properties on object instances: for now, this is limited to instances inside custom objects. This will be made available in the future for all instances in scenes if this works well.
- Display an audio preview in the resources editor and when editing actions.
- Add support for custom toolbar buttons on GDevelop desktop version (thanks @malec-palec!). This adds support for configurable toolbar buttons in the GDevelop desktop editor that execute npm scripts from a package.json file stored next to your project file. Buttons must be defined in a gdevelop-settings.yaml file, also stored in the project directory.
For example, create a gdevelop-settings.yaml containing:
toolbarButtons:
- name: "Build"
icon: "🔨"
npmScript: "build"
- name: "Test"
icon: "🧪"
npmScript: "test"
- Add 45-degree rotation with Alt key in the 3D editor
