- Japanese help: search was broken.
- Android: fixes in Admob for Android 12.
- Android: new features and fixes in InApp object due to Google changes. New "Set Sku list for InApps" and "Set Sku list for Subs" actions, new "PurchaseAcknowledged", "Purchased-Index from Sku" and "Convert time to string" expressions. On Error now detects when there are no purchase, check the Help file for more information.
- Android: new "Set Reminder Minutes" action in Calendar Entry object.
- Android: fix in Font Packer to include more fonts.


Build 293.9 - Change log

- Load Animations: not working when you import an object in the editor, export its animations and load it in a new object, unless you save and reload the application.
- Windows runtime: fix to avoid crashes when an extension calls events from an expression.
- Windows runtime: Multiple Touch object, New Touch On Object condition was called twice for some types of objects (String for example).
- Android runtime: typo in Downloads directory name.
- Android runtime: File object, permission change for OPEN_DOCUMENT intent.


Build 293.8

- Find All (2.5+ DLC): a new option allows you to exclude deactivated lines.
- Frame editor: you can't drag objects anymore if you press both SHIFT and CONTROL (to avoid conflicts with the Unlock Object shortcut).
- Frame editor: when you rename an object that only consists of numbers no space character is added at the beginning anymore.
- Frame and event editors: Zoom 100% is now associated with the "Ctrl + 0 (numpad)" shortcut key (note: this is after a default installation, if a previous version of Fusion has already been executed you need to either reset the toolbar settings, or go to Vew / Customize/ Toolbars / Keyboard and enter this shortcut for the View / 100% command).
- Event editor: Copy/Cut/Delete after Invert Selection was copying/deleting incorrect lines.
- Event editor: Create Object dialog, the content of the search box was ignored when you open the dialog box.
- Event editors: pressing scrolling up could add a big gap above the first line in some specific cases.
- Event editors: crash with long actions (more than 1024 characters).
- Picture editor: empty image issue when you copy an image from Affinity Photo and paste it to Fusion.
- Build: Break action not taken into account if all the other actions of the event are removed when you build a stand-alone app.
- All runtimes: crash in Start Loop when no On Loop condition contains a simple constant expression.
- Windows runtime / 2.5+ DLC: image loading times should be a bit faster when the "Optimize image size in RAM" option is selected.
- Windows runtime / 2.5+ DLC: new "Load Animations" action that allows you to load all the animations of an object from a .anm file. .ANM files can be created in the Animation editor (click Save and select "Export animation file").
Note 1: this feature is compatible with the Windows runtime only for the moment, we'll try to port it to Android, iOS and Mac asap.
Note 2: make sure the app you export the animactions from has the same settings as the app you load the animations into (build type, premultiplied images option, image RAM optimization option, graphic mode, etc), as .ANM files content depends on the platform and app properties that affect images.
- Windows runtime: new "Reset input between frames" action that allows you to disable the automatic input message clearing between frames (it's enabled by default). This allows you to preserve keyboard messages between frames if you need this.
- Windows runtime / Debugger: the "..." button at the bottom right now opens a popup menu that contains new "Remove All Objects" and "Display only named values" commands.
- Windows runtime / Debugger: the Add Object dialog box now displays coordinates and fixed value when an object has several instances in the frame.
- Windows runtime / Debugger: display was updated if the window had been hidden after being expanded, wasting CPU resources.
- Android runtime: AAB build type now available in Standard version too.
- Android runtime (Developer version): new "AAB with expansion" build type that allows you to build a AAB file larger than 150 Mb.
- Android runtime: fixes in Magnet and Particles objects (differences with Windows runtime).
- Android runtime: String object, black box sometimes after adding text.
- Android runtime: Camera object, fix blank photo issue on some devices.
- Android runtime: Radio button, fix text & background color + transparency when Non System Colors is checked.
- Android runtime: ChartBoost SDK updated.
- Android runtime: layer alignment issue with mutiple touch object (when layer position is not 0,0).
- Android/iOS/Mac runtimes: Add Backdrop to invisible layer now updates collision mask.
- iOS runtime / Q/A object: fixed wrong button detection.
- iOS runtime / iOS Video object: full-screen command now works with iOS 11+.
- iOS runtime / GameCenter: fix in expressions for multiplayer messages.
- HTML5 runtime: Play and Loop Sample problem in build 293.6.

PS / Android: if you use Google Play Games objects in your applications, please download the latest version for the build 293.7 from Clickstore and install it, as previous versions are not compatible.


Build 293.5

- Event explorer bar: group status not preserved for global events when you close and reopen the global event editor.
- Windows runtime: an optimization in the build 293.2 could make animation conditions stop working in single-framed objects, this optimization is definitely removed.

- Library window: objects are now sorted by name.
- Cursor object: cursor visibility was not correctly taken into account.
- Build: new option "Allow global events to count objects that don't exist" in the Events tab of the app properties. When this option is selected and an object doesn't exist in the frame, 'Compare Number of Objects' conditions are kept (with 0 as number of objects). This option is OFF by default to keep compatibility with previous applications.

Quick update, 293.3, fixes 2 issues in 293.2.

[kama_nika]

Oke
But how would I install it?

[CT_Yves]

Open the properties of Fusion in Steam, select the BETA tab, enter the code provided at the top of the first post (x243TNkwZS1239) and then suscribe to the beta.

Bonjour Yves et toute l'équipe Clickteam.
Merci pour votre superbe travail, j'utilise vos solutions depuis fort longtemps et vous êtes toujours au top. Merci et encore merci.

Dans le descriptif tu écris :"if you use Google Play Games objects in your applications, please download the latest version for the build 293.7 from Clickstore and install it, as previous versions are not compatible."

Je ne trouve pas la build 293.7. Je possède deux licences de Fusion Dev, une Steam et l'autre classique : comment installer la build 293.7 qui semble régler le problème de publication sur Google Play?
Dans la zone "Passeport" ça affiche "No Downloads Found" pour Fusion 2.5 dev.
Côté Steam, je n'ai accès qu'à la dernière, la 293.9.
Merci pour tout!

In English:
Hello
I cannot find the build 293.7, I have two licenses of Fusion Dev, one Steam and the other classic: how to install the build 293.7 which seems to solve the problem of publication on Google Play?
In the "Passport" area it displays "No Downloads Found" for Fusion 2.5 dev betas.
On Steam side, I only have access to 293.9, the last beta.
Thank you for everything!

Farid (Tablidoo).

Sorry I didn't see your post,

Not sure what you means exactly. The message about Google Plsy means that if you use the latest beta versions of CF 2..5, 293.7 or above, and use Google Play objects in your application, then you need to go to Clickstore, and download the version for Fusion 293.7 or above of the Google Play objects, as the previous version of these objects is not compatible with the latest beta versions.

Is this more clear?

Otherwise, if you want to get an older beta for the non-Steam version of Fusion you can go to Support Forums / Product Owner's Lounge / Fusion 2.5 in the Clickteam forums, and open the Download Links thread.

Bonjour Jean Yves
Désolé de n'être pas passé plus tôt, j'utilise peu Steam (j'ai les deux versions).
Comme d'habitude j'ai trouvé rapidement la solution sur le forum communautaire, et ça a fonctionné parfaitement.

Heureux quand-même de cet échange : ça fait 10 ans que j'utilise MMF2/Fusion (à fond la caisse), et je ne trouve jamais rien à redire, il y a toujours une solution.
Du coup Merci à toi et toute ton équipe pour cet outil incomparable, en tous points de vue.
(Je participe à sa diffusion sur le terrain auprès d'élèves de primaire dans mon secteur, n'hésites pas si je peux vous aider ici ou là).
Merci encore.
Farid.
