- Global or scene variables can be used with a unique action and condition.
- Object variables can be used with a unique action and condition.
- Variables need to be declared following the same logic as the new expression syntax.
- Local variable can be declared on events
- Extensions have their own variables
- Show a diagnostic report when a preview is launched and there are missing scene variables, object variables or behaviors.
- This is especially useful if external events are shared between several scenes.
* Enable leaderboards to launch authentication and claim an anonymous score that was just sent
* Also automatically attach a score sent to the logged in player (unless deactivated)
* Make various fixes for authentication on iOS
- Custom objects like the 3D particle emitter can be used as any other 3D object
- with the same set of actions and conditions thanks to the 3D capability
- in the scene editor, their Z position and 3D rotations can be changed
- Fix child creation in `doStepPostEvent` function
- Add 3D Effects for color adjustment and bloom.
- A lower quality anti-aliasing is used when post-processing is enable (SMAA instead of MSAA).
- Upgrade to Three.js 0.160.0.
* This allows to use animatable 2D objects created with Spine (purchase a licence on [their website](https://esotericsoftware.com/) if you're interested).
* 2D skeletal animation allows for very smooth animations, and keep resource usage low compared to animations made of frames like Sprite objects. It's perfect for 2D games and can be used for animated characters, avatars, UI elements.
* Many thanks to @f0nar and @LousyMolars for their work on this new feature and associated game examples!

* Only the first scene and global objects resources (images, sounds, 3D models etc...) will be downloaded during launch of the game. This usually allows for a very fast loading time.
* Other scenes resources will continue to load in the background. It has no impact on the game performance as this is done on other threads by the browser or the engine running the game.
* Scenes are loaded in the order they are listed in the project manager.
* You can also use actions and expressions to prioritize a scene (if it's known that a level will be needed soon for example) or read the current loading progress. This allows to create lightweight scenes that can act as custom loading screens. Otherwise, the launch loading screen will be shown if a scene is still loading when launched.
