Defold 1.2.149
The render script update function now supplies dt as an argument. Change the signature to update(self, dt) to access the timestep.
The sys namespace has been extended to include API:s previously accessed via messages only. See the API documentation for more information.
This release we remove the possibility to run Bob on 32-bit Windows systems. The editor dropped support for running on 32-bit platforms previously and now it’s time for our commandline build tool to follow suit. You can still bundle and release your game for 32-bit Windows.
Android Push Notifications
Due to Google deprecating their Cloud Messaging service we have migrated our Android remote push functionality to use Firebase Cloud Messaging. Nothing in the Defold API has changed, but if you are currently using remote pushes for Android you will need to migrate your Google Cloud Platform project to a Firebase project and enable Cloud Messaging through their portal.
A detailed guide how to migrate, or setup a new, Firebase project for remote Android pushes is available in the manual section of our documentation.
