Improvements • Adds the classic FixedSys monospace font to Codea. The past reaches forward through time, one pixel at a time

Fixes - We made some adjustments to the code editor last version, but those adjustments came with bugs! Crashes are mitigated in this version. The editor's rebellious phase has been quelled

Improvements • Adds viewer.paused so you can pause the viewer. Can you unpause it? No. Because it's paused • Updates our modern renderer backend to the latest version. The shadows deepen Fixes • Fixes a bug where having very large projects in Codea could cause random hangs in the editor. The behemoths no longer freeze time • Fixes an issue with marked text entry which could cause the cursor to disappear. We found the cursor • Fixes undo in Shader Lab. History is no longer immutable

Dependencies • Dependencies chosen in the sidebar now summon their `require()` statements into your code. Unselect them, and the code cleanses itself. No manual intervention required Modern Runtime • When creating new classes in the modern runtime, the class name is added as a parameter in the default template. Identity is bestowed at creation • Your custom components are now included in the returned components list from an entity. Nothing hides from the census • Adds camera.viewport and camera.aspect to Carbide. Narrow your world view Improvements • Replaces key.return with key.enter.

Introducing Code Notes Bring your Apple Pencil to your screen to write, scribble or draw on your code. Annotate, highlight, circle, underline. Make your intentions clear. Or obscure them completely And if you want to see what madness looks like, we’ve scribbled all over our example projects

Motion Sensing • New motion API for Carbide. Track your device's accelerometer and more. It knows when you move File Picking • Introducing the pick() API family. Summon the iOS file picker directly from your running project. Choose wisely Type Introspection • New typeof() function reveals the true nature of Carbide types. Knowledge is power. Power corrupts Utilities • color.fromHSV lets you create colors from the void between hue, saturation, and value • table.flatten collapses your multi-dimensional data into a single plane of existence • Entity visible property can now hide elements from view. Just because something is invisible doesn't mean it isn't there Improvements • Editor UI polish. Sharper. Sleeker.

- Pasteboard API: Your clipboard's thoughts are now accessible to both Carbide and Legacy - Vector Swizzling: Your vectors can now contort themselves into new forms. myVec.zzz or myVec.zx = vec2(5, 6)? The possibilities are... unsettling - Image Slices: slice.image and slice.atlas reveal the truth behind the fragments - Color Arithmetic: Colors can now add, subtract, multiply, and divide. The boundaries between hues blur ever more - Vector Evolution: cross, rotate, rotate90, and angleBetween have emerged for vec2 in Carbide FIXED - Key Recognition: Left and right modifiers have gained individual consciousness through proper keyCode values - Identity Crisis: leftCtrl and rightCtrl were masquerading as alt keys. Their true nature has been restored - Modifier Detection: key.modifiersPressed(modifiers) now sees all, regardless of left or right alignment. Nothing escapes its gaze - Collider Persistence: Deleting a collider no longer tears holes in the fabric of reality. The list remains intact - Project Creation: The creation screen stands firmer against accidental dismissal. Some things shouldn't be interrupted - Name Recognition: The name field has broken free from autocorrect's grip. Your projects deserve their true names - Icon Integrity: Custom tinted project icons have emerged from the shadows. Their tops are no longer haunted by transparency

FIXED • Last update we introduced dark mode icons. Perhaps things got a little too dark. The renderer had a tendency to greet you with an ominous black screen. We’ve convinced it to show up properly now. • Sharing an iCloud project was causing the app to crash. Projects should be shared, not crash your hopes and dreams. This has been fixed.

NEW • Dark Mode Icon: A new icon has emerged from the shadows. Embrace the darkness. RENDERER • Scene Naming: Scenes can now have names, courtesy of scene.name. It’s about time they got some recognition. • Entity IDs: You can now directly access entity.id. Every entity has an identity, after all. • Overridable Methods: The update and touched methods for scenes can now be overridden. You’re in control. • Renderer Backend Improvements: We’ve tinkered with the renderer backend. It’s smoother now, though you might not notice… until you do. ENHANCEMENTS • Syntax Highlighting (Modern Renderer): Syntax highlighting has made its way to the modern renderer. It’s still a work in progress, but the colors are coming together nicely. • viewer.safeArea Support: The modern renderer now respects viewer.safeArea. Your content will no longer collide with the edges of the screen. You’re welcome. FIXED • Objective-C Image Bridging: UIImages were wandering off. They’re back where they belong. • Lua Error Handling: The error function now actually triggers a Lua error, as it always should have. No more silent failures. • Memory Leaks in Code Editor: Memory was leaking in the code editor. The flood has been contained. • Air Code Crash on Save: Fixed an issue in Air Code that could cause a crash when saving. No more sudden exits. • Fullscreen Touch Input: Viewer controls were getting in the way of touch input in fullscreen mode. They’ve been told to step aside.

FIXED Parameters were experiencing an identity crisis. Instead of being themselves, parameter.color() fancied itself an action button, and most parameters couldn’t quite figure out who they were meant to be, save for the number parameters, which stayed true to form. This existential confusion stemmed from a misconfigured switch statement. Order has now been restored; parameters can now confidently be themselves.

NEW • Collection Management: Swipe to the left sidebar to manage your collections, create new ones, reorder them, and drag projects between them. It’s all under your control… for now. • textSize() Implementation: Carbide has gained a new trick. You can now use textSize() for more precise text handling. Everything must be precise. ENHANCEMENTS • Autocomplete: Continuously improving. Enjoy smoother, more accurate suggestions. The machine knows what you want. • Objective-C Initialization: objc classes now respond to the call operator. A minor tweak for a better experience. Everything should respond when called. • Xcode Export: Modernized and streamlined. Objectively better. Change is inevitable. • Runtime Type Detection: Check viewer.runtime to know if you’re running Carbide or Legacy. You should always know where you stand. FIXED • iCloud Projects: iCloud projects that hadn’t been downloaded now show in the Project Grid. They were hiding, but not anymore. • Collision Handling: Fixed the onCollisionEnded2d event issues when Began wasn’t defined. Peace has been restored. Or has it?
