GameMaker Studio 2022.11.0.54

What's new in this version:

New Runtime Modules Dialog For Customising Your Runtime Downloads:
- You will see a new dialog for this the first time you start this new version, so for more information on this dialog and how to use it, please see our new FAQ all about it
- GameMaker now handles downloading just the specific modules you require from each runtime - you can select a minimal install suitable for your current OS, whichever modules you require just now, or “just give me everything” (which is what GameMaker has always done until now)
- You can modify these choices at any time by clicking the new button on the Runtime Feeds screen, but be aware that whilst the dialog will add additional modules okay, it will not remove any which were previously downloaded - if you wanted to do that, you will currently need to modify the dialog settings and then delete your entire runtime folder, so that GameMaker will re-download just the bits you now want
- Preferences has also been changed so that downloading any runtime version manually will always ask if you want to activate it, regardless of where on that line you clicked when initiating the download (previously, you had to specifically click the version number in order to be asked)

Offline Support When Signed-In Using Opera Account:
- Up until this release, you were unable to use GameMaker offline if you had migrated your account and signed-in using the Opera Account single sign-in method
- You now can sign-in to a saved Opera Account session and carry on offline for the usual must-go-online-once-a-month requirement that GameMaker Accounts have long used

Pinch-To-Zoom Has Been Re-Implemented:
- The Workspace can now be zoomed in and out on devices with touch inputs (like trackpads)
- Windows IDE, this is done via Ctrl plus one finger on the trackpad; Mac IDE, it’s a two-finger pinch gesture
- There is a new Preference to disable this feature if you don’t want it

Image Editor Support For Pasting As A New Layer:
- The Image Editor now allows you to paste directly from your clipboard to a new layer
- This new layer will be automatically placed above the currently-selected layer and the pan tool will be auto-selected to immediately allow you to control the pasted content as you wish
- This is the default behaviour now, as there was a lot of feedback in favour of this change, but the previous “Paste-As-Brush” behaviour can be enabled again in Preferences if you want it
- Implemented Case-Insensitive Compatibility Mode For The Mac IDE:
- There has been an ongoing issue with case-sensitivity when working across different operating systems and changing an asset's character case when renaming it (and how this change of case might then effect external tools, such as git)
- An option has been added to allow you to disable these extra renaming checks, as it is quite performance-heavy
- (The same changes affect the Ubuntu IDE Beta also, as it behaves the same as the Mac IDE)

Feather Additions:
- Feather Now reparses scripts whenever they are edited outside GameMaker
- The new rule GM2064 will validate that initialiser struct variables have variable definitions for the target object (and its Quick Fixes will now create Variable Definitions for missing fields)
- GM1013’s Quick Fix behaviour has now been modified for creating an instance variable
- Device Manager Support For Opera GX Mobile Devices:
- You will likely see a new firewall prompt for this the first time you start this new version, so for more information on this functionality and how to use it, please see our new FAQ all about it
- Added a new MQTT server for discovering Opera GX Mobile devices on your network, allowing you to just as easily test your GX games on your phone or tablet as you can on your desktop
- Simply scan the QR code inside Device Manager to connect the mobile device to GameMaker in seconds
- Note that your devices are only linked to that one instance of GameMaker and will be forgotten the next time you close GameMaker

More Room Editor Layers Functionality:
- Old Film, Hue, Ripples, Blocks Background, Panorama Background and Parallax Background have all now been added into the Room Editor for you to use in your games
- Also added an indicator into the Layers Panel to show when any filter/effect has been used on a layer
- Code Editor Support For Binary Literals And Underscores In Numbers:
- Binary literals can now be declared in the form 0b…. (same as the hex literal 0x… that GameMaker has supported for a while). For example: var six = 0b0110; or var thirteen = 0b0100 | 0b1001;
- Also, integer, floating point, hex, and binary literals may now take an underscore to act as a visual separator. For example: var integer = 100_000_000; or var float = 3_141.59; or var hexadec = 0xDEAD_BEEF; or var binary = 0b01101000_01101001;
- Note that this is a Code Editor and Compiler change only - there is no support for this in-game

Misc Other Changes To Be Aware Of:
- Building Projects: Gradle version has been updated to match the requirements of Android APIs 32+ [please see the runtime notes for a little more information]
- Debugger: The struct versions of "activeTracks" no longer uses the wrong order for "colourmultiply" track values [was actually that the in-game order was wrong and you might need to change your code, so please see the runtime note’s Change To Be Aware Of section for more information on this one]
- Licensing: Proxy server of incorrect type causes startup crash [additionally, the proxy server details field now blocks https addresses from being added and there is more logging also for if your setup does somehow still cause issues]
- Localisation: Our language csv files have now been updated to conform to RFC 4180 standard (and therefore escape special characters) - whilst you may not need to make any changes in your existing custom language files, you should be aware of this process change if you’re editing ours or making your own localisation spreadsheets from scratch in future
- Sequence Editor: It was never really exposed in the IDE, but there was a WIP asset track available in-game - this has now been removed, as the full in-game implementation was never done, and so if you were using this “hidden” track in your games you will now need to change your code accordingly

Other Bugs Fixed:
- AnimCurve Editor: [Windows IDE] GM no longer crashes when undoing all changes made to a newly-created curve
- Asset Browser: Renaming a group the same as another group in the same location now shows the correct message, rather than an incorrect "group cannot contain or /" message
- Asset Browser: Room Manager "Collapse All" context menu command does not work unless you clicked in empty space
- Building Projects: Fixed that you were unable to build any project which uses a Sprite with Nine Slice enabled as a Background layer - and that GameMaker showed an incorrect error message about what was causing the build to fail
- Building Projects: [Android] Fixed that injection of IronSource's recommended ProGuard values created an invalid ProGuard file because an unwanted "methods" closing tag was incorrectly added
- Building Projects: [GDK] Added a stage to precompile the shaders in a project
- Building Projects: [HTML5] Fixed that attempting to re-run a project when one is still running only asked you to cancel the existing run one time and then would require you to stop the build manually each time thereafter

- Building Projects: post_texture scripts are now run when targeting all platforms, not only when building for Windows
- Building Projects: Calling "sprite_width(0)" now gives a compiler error for you to fix, as it is a code error in-game, so now the IDE will make you aware sooner
- Building Projects: Optional arguments in functions being omitted no longer causes a variety of build failures which differed depending on how that function is later called
- Building Projects: Fixed the Xcode project GM writes out so that XCode 14 requirement changes no longer cause "undefined symbols for architecture arm64: _objc_msgSend$X" errors when using older XCode versions

- Building Projects: [GX.games] You can now upload games when using a different config to "Default"
- Building Projects: [HTML5] Builds no longer fail for audio files which contain .png or other non-audio metadata, which also stops a method of GameMaker going unstable when reloading the project after failing that build
- Building Projects: [HTML5] Builds again work reliably when the Game Options’ "path folder name" has been changed from the default of "html5game" to anything custom [this was an issue in 2022.9 only]
