Offf you cannot still edit .md files. What is the use of being able to open it in Defold editor if you cannot edit it.
.md files are really useful for explaining content, in particular for tutorials (open: New Project, From Tutorial). I find this way of learning much better than (passive) YouTube. It would be handy to be able to open them in edit mode, however it is no big deal, there more text editors in the world than you can shake a stick at. Creating a monolithic IDE that does everything is asking for trouble. It will probably magically be added at some point in future time.
Yep there is a lot of text editors that can open an .md file but that is not my point, its about convenience. Defold has an built-in code editor which is picked by default but it being unable to edit a simple .md file causes editor separation. It took a lot of time to configure sublime as an external editor and vs code extensions create .vscode folders for all your projects which makes them redundant and annoying. That’s why being able to use built-in editor would be great instead of switching to another software. Besides I do not think this would involve much work since built-in editor is able to edit other utf-8 encoded files like .json

Except you don’t have to set up Defold with an external editor to change an MD file. 
You can right-click and “Show in Desktop”, and open the file in your standard text editor with one more double-click.
In 1.9.1, the goal was to clean up how the editor works with internal and external editors. As part of this goal, the old text viewer was replaced with the main code editor in read-only mode.
We have a separate task to add the ability to edit *.md and some other files, and it will be implemented at some point.

Tryed beta today. Something was wrong with font outline (zero) in web.
Only in web. In editor it was correct.
Problem with bundle.
When build from editor fonts correct.
When bundle (web, windows) outline alpha was missed. And set to 1 as default, when need to be another value.
Looks like outline was vector 4. Now it vector 3 + outiline_alpha value
Don’t use text shadows in my project. But i think they also can have same problem

I can create it tomorrow in morning. I will try not to forget:)
It seems like you are talking about GUI not labels, right? Because I can’t reproduce it with labels (I haven’t tried GUI yet)

yes, sorry. It is gui text node
I think I found what the problem is, it would be nice if you can test this version with a fix (it’s not merged yet) http://d.defold.com/archive/dev/f8d673900df05bc79256532138aedcf7123d5e20/dev/editor2/Defold-x86_64-win32.zip

1.91. Beta seems to cause an issue with Yoga https://github.com/farism/defold-yoga.
Yoga is rather superb - and essential to my work - but the extension hasn’t been updated in over a year.
Is there a quick fix to get it working again with 1.9.1?

Not knowingly - not sure what it is! Just installed a beta version for first time today.
