Ren'Py 7.4.9 Released

[PyTom]

I'd like to announce Ren'Py 7.4.9, the ninth patch release of Ren'Py 7.4. The largest amount of work was done to update the Android version of Ren'Py to keep pace with Google Play's requirements. Ren'Py now uses the Android App Bundle format, and uses Play Asset Delivery to download assets to the player's device.

In addition to the Android improvements, some of the major changes are:

• The iOS version of Ren'Py now produces more complete projects, requiring less work to get projects working.
• Improvements to the web updater, providing a less efficient mode that works with https web servers.
• A new option in the launcher that can tell you if a new Ren'Py release exists.
• Improvements to the 3D stage, so that the camera statement and perspective work with transitions and transforms.
• Transforms now can take fractional sizes.
• The shift+A accessibility menu now has a new high-contrast mode, to make text more readable.

These are just some of the improvements in this release, so please read the changelog to find everything new.

Nice timing, I literally just learnt google now requires aab and no longer accepts apk about half an hour before this post popped up on Patreon. Thanks PyTom!

Transclude still bugged, just bit differently, sorry
Version 7.4.9.2142

Code: Select all

screen about_left(val):
  textbutton "Increase" action SetScreenVariable("test_val",val+1)

screen about_layout(val):
  hbox:
    align (0.5,0.5)
    spacing 100
    use about_left(val)
    vbox:
      transclude

screen about():
  tag menu
  default test_val=0
  use about_layout(test_val):
#    $pass
    text "[test_val]"
  textbutton "Return":
    align (0.5,0.95)
    action Return()
    keysym "game_menu"

label start:
  "test"
  return

Adding $pass or moving vbox from about_layout to about fixes it.
