Release notes
#1

Defold 1.2.82

With this release we have extended the crash module to include crashes on HTML5 builds.

We have increased the optimization level on OSX and Windows builds, which mean you could see some extra performance on these platforms.

We have also increased the maximum layer count for GUI scenes to 16 (from the previous max of 8).

The dashboard now includes an option to delete your account as well as transfering the ownership of your projects. (Before you can delete your account you need to transfer the ownership of your projects that has more than one user.)

@sven, do the optimizations in 1.2.82 include the sprite performance optimization that recently made to alpha?

#4

That is correct, but it’s not focused on sprites specifically, rather a compiler flag so the engine as a whole will benefit. We have had similar flags on other platforms previously, but now it’s been applied for desktop builds as well. :+1:

I found bug with HTML5 Release mode. Minification doesn’t work.

http://www.defold.com/manuals/html5/ this page makes a reference to this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_the_application_cache however it says it’s depreciated and should no longer be used at all.
