Defold 1.2.138
This sprint we have added support for hot reloading tilemaps. Press CMD+R/CTRL+R to hot reload while running the game.
We also made it easier to control the debuggability of your Android application. In game.project you can edit the android.debuggable flag to control this behavior.
This will allow you to use external debugging tools such as Google’s GAPID.
The GUI particles now also respects the adjust modes ZOOM and FIT, making it easier to author the content when using different layouts.
