Ren'Py 5.4.4 Released
Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2006 10:29 pm
In an attempt to make Ren'Py as perfect as possible for the NaNoRenO games, I'm releasing Ren'Py 5.4.4 "Congrats Kathryn and mikey". This release consists of a few bugfixes, and some changes to extras.
As usual, it can be downloaded from:
http://www.bishoujo.us/renpy/
To upgrade from a recent version of Ren'Py, copy over the game directory. No other changes should be necessary.
As NaNoRenO is drawing towards a close, I want to implore everyone to report odd behavior of Ren'Py. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's a feature... but do we want to take that risk?
What's New in Ren'Py 5.4.4
Updated the gallery extra to support showing arbitrary displayables, rather than just images with filenames. It was also updated to support tuples, corresponding to composing one image atop another, and lists, which display things in sequence. To support this, the tuples used by gallery take a third argument which gives a filename which is used, somewhat indirectly, to compute the thumbnail.
Clarified that the voice extra can take non-wave sound files, such as OGG Vorbis and especially OGG Speex files. Also, made voice automatically sustain through pauses.
Fixed a bug in Ren'Py that was causing the voice extra to malfunction. The bug was caused by the contents of the config namespace being copied at the wrong time, leading it to not be restored properly to default values when Ren'Py was reset (as the Main Menu choice.)
Removed a leftover debugging statement that caused Ren'Py to spew out all of the say statements in .rpy files it parsed.
