Update time! This time the main new feature are switchers, which allow you to create switchable objects in-game. As usual, there's also additional features, convenience improvements, and bug fixes:
• Add a new object type: Switchers allow you to switch between multiple objects. You create switchers in-game (or in preview mode) by selecting multiple objects and clicking "Create Switcher" in the context menu. The selected objects will be combined into a single object which you can switch from the context menu or using the object action hotkeys (R / Ctrl+R). The context menu also allows you to switch to a random object, or remove the switcher. You can learn more on the new knowledge base page.
• Allow object zoom in the container explorer
• Add new button in card and multistate object details in the editor to quickly add all remaining cards or states from the image sheet
• Add ability to cycle through previously written messages by using the up and down keys in the chat window (similar to the command history in the JavaScript console)
• Allow changing size of cards in stack explorer using two new buttons
• Save whether to show names in container explorer for session
• Support Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters in text fields
Scripting
• Add a new class `Switcher` and two methods `GameObject.createSwitcher` and `GameObject.getSwitcher` to allow interacting with switchers from scripts
• Add anchor properties for `ScreenUIElement`, similar to the properties in `UIElement`
• Add `Widget.setVisible` and `Widget.isVisible`
• Add `TextWidgetBase.getFontFileName` and `TextWidgetBase.getFontPackageId`
• Ensure that an empty `exports` object always exists to avoid issues with transpiled TypeScript
• Allow passing `undefined` to `Border.setChild` and `LayoutBox.setChild` in order to remove the current child widget
Fixes
• After shuffling a card stack, an additional card could remain visible in rare cases
• Don't allow changing size of cards in holders
• Dropping cards in the on-screen hand with the screen mode cursor required an additional click
