This release is packed with new features such as script encrypting and a new font format but also a collection of bug fixes.
On iOS and Android it is now possible to check if another app is installed through the new sys.get_application_info() method. Applications are identified with package name on Android and an application URL on iOS.
We have added support for BMFonts, just specify a .fnt file instead of a regular .ttf/.otf inside your font file. BMFonts can be created in SheoBox, Anglecode BMFont generator or Glyph Designer for example. (Make sure that the font image atlas is placed in the same project directory as the .font file.)
Note: Font files now count as two resources in the engine. This means if you are currently close to the resource.max_resources project setting you might need to increase this value if you have a large amount of fonts. There are no performance or memory hit for this but exposed as a convenience so that font textures can be affected by texture profiles just as regular textures/atlases.
