Construct 2 Release r130

Export for Tizen

Fullscreen in browser 'Scale' option replaced with 'Scale inner' and 'Scale outer'. 'Scale outer' is what it used to do, but 'Scale inner' is a new variant that scales but cuts off edges of the screen rather than extends the view if the aspect ratio does not match. This is useful for designing 16:9 games that cut off the edges and only show the middle section in 4:3 displays.

Sprite: initial animation property

Event sheet: option to right-click a global variable and 'move to event sheet'

AJAX object: in node-webkit, can now load files from disk in the same folder as the app. Use 'Request URL' and enter a name like "myfile.txt", and if it cannot be found as a project file, it will then try to load "myfile.txt" in the same folder as the app.

New 'Node-Webkit' plugin, to access node-webkit specific features. Currently this plugin allows basic file operations (like reading and writing files on disk) and opening file dialogs.

Browser object: actions to log to the browser console, and start/end log message groups. Useful for debugging.

Browser object: action to execute a string of Javascript code, and an expression to execute javascript and return the result (if it's a number or string). These basically call eval(), which is widely regarded to be dangerous. Try to avoid using these features; while occasionally useful, the Javascript SDK is almost always a more elegant way to add custom code to Construct 2 projects.

Project settings for Email, Website and ID, which are now used as defaults by several exporters. Project properties have also been re-arranged in to two separate "About" and "Settings" categories. Several export dialogs now have had their author/email/website/id fields removed and will take the values directly from project properties instead.

Drag & Drop behavior: can now axis limit to just horizontal or vertical movement (via 'Axes' property)

System: 'Is on platform' condition. Test if running as e.g. a Windows 8 app, in CocoonJS, as a HTML5 website, etc. Should help setting up one project to work nicely on multiple platforms by dealing with platform-specific differences.

New example: detecting the input method. Shows how to make a title screen that detects if the user has keyboard/mouse or touch controls, and switches the control method accordingly.

The runtime will now attempt to use WebGL in CocoonJS if it is available. Note there are not yet any public versions of CocoonJS that support WebGL yet - this is in anticipation of future support. Note releases prior to this one will never use WebGL on CocoonJS since we had previously skipped even checking for it.

Z Order bar: now uses icon for sprite instance's initial frame to help differentiate instances

Sprite: icon in editor now appears taking in to account the first instance's initial frame. This means if all your instances use a non-default initial animation/frame, the editor icon will correspond to that frame's image. (You might need to close and reopen the project for this to take effect after changes.)

Gamepad: now implements a radial deadzone instead of axial deadzone

The default 'fullscreen in browser' property is now 'Letterbox scale', since it uses the whole screen without changing the aspect ratio.

Could not change the case of a layer name from the properties bar

Node-webkit: tab then enter sometimes opened a "What is a browser?" page

Deleting the last object type in a family did not also delete the family

Pathfinding behavior: did not update obstacle map when changing layouts with a global object

Exported Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 projects now use the project 'Version' property
