Ren'Py 4.7.1 Released

[PyTom]

I'm here to announce the release of Ren'Py 4.7.1 "The Clock is Running!", which is a bug-fix release intended to improve the quality of Ren'Py for use in NaNoRenO projects. To ensure stability, I've made the minimum number of changes possible to the engine. This release also introduces a new stand-alone program, dump_text, which dumps the text out of rpy files, so that it can be spell-checked. As always, Ren'Py can be downloaded from:

A script can be upgraded from 4.7 to 4.7.1 by copying over the game directory. No changes to the script itself are necessary.

A list of changes in this release is below. Also, you may be interested in seeing the releases notes for 4.7.

New in 4.7.1

Added a new tool, dump_text.py/.exe, that dumps all of the text from a Ren'Py script file. It uses a heuristic approach that is imperfect, but is hopefully accurate enough to be useful for purposes like spell-checking a script. The text is
dumped into the file text.txt in the current directory, and on windows that file is then displayed to the user. By default all of the rpy files in the game directory are displayed, but supplying a filename parameter can change that.

Fixed a bug that was preventing parser error messages from being reported on Windows.

Fixed a bug in Render.subsurface that lead to weird effects when doing an irisin or irisout on a sufficently complicated scene. See this thread for the discussion.

Update: Changed the name of this release to something better.
