Full Changelog: v2.3.2...v2.4.0

v2.3.2

Release v2.3.2

Fixes

• Fixed garbage hole nodes having individual indices.

Lua API 4.1.0

Full Changelog: v2.3.1...v2.3.2

v2.3.1

Release v2.3.1

Enhancements

• Added configuration for new effect placement.
• Changed default placement to Last (how it worked pre-v2.3.0).
• New and breaking changes in the Lua scripting api (now 4.0.0).
• File>Execute Script menu item.
• Rained now creates a default imgui.ini file if it doesn't already exist.
• Asterisk is inserted into window title if the active document has unsaved changes. Woo.

Fixes

• Fixed glitchy ImGui text created from Lua.

Lua API 4.0.0

Breaking changes

• Changed rained.level.save to run a given callback on completion instead of yielding.
• Moved rained.openFileBrowser to rained.gui, and also changed it to run a given callback on completion instead of yielding.
• rained.gui.openFileBrowser now returns a FileBrowser object to be manually rendered, instead of rendering it automatically. (This should fix issues/limitations.)
• Lua chunks called by Rained now run from the main state (i.e. are not yieldable).
• Rained no longer automatically auto-requires the "autoloads" directory; it is now done in init.lua¹.

Backwards-compatible changes

• rained.gui.fileBrowserWidgets now accepts a list of filters.
• package.path now inherits from the default Lua package path instead of overriding it¹.
• Added hooks for document interaction in rained.
• Fixed rained.closeDocument (previously, it was not implemented)
• Added Autotile.autoHistory and Autotile.uiHook fields.
• Added rained.view module, for basic manipulation of how the level is viewed in the editor.
