* Actions, conditions and expressions related to opacity, size (width/height), scale, animations and other common features are now visible only once when you search for them in actions/conditions (instead of being shown once for every type of object supporting them). This reduces the risk of confusion for new or existing users, notably when multiple versions of the same action were returned by the search and was making it difficult to choose the proper one.
* Internally, this works thanks to default, built-in behaviors that are supported by the objects.
* Add `PickedInstancesCount` and `SceneInstancesCount` expressions, to replace `Count`. These expressions don't do any "picking" of instances, so they are safe to use anywhere without "weird" side effects.
* Equivalent conditions are available for all objects. These conditions allow to check at any point in your events the number of instances living on the scene or picked by actions/conditions.
* This is useful to check if enough objects are picked by a condition before launching an action.
* Because this condition does not change the already picked objects, it's safe to use anywhere without any side effect.
Only show the rest in the developer changelog:
* Allow to read events missing some fields (like `disabled`, `folded`).
* Reduce the useless information stored in project JSON files by not storing the fields if they have their default value.
* This object displays a field where the player can type a text.
* The cursor can be moved and the text can be selected and entered like any other input field according to the platform. For example, you can use all the usual keyboard shortcuts or emoji pickers on desktop. On mobile, all the usual gestures are supported, emoji pickers, text selection, clipboard...
* You can choose between different input field types: text, text area, email, password, phone number... This allows the keyboards to be adapted on mobile devices. The password field will also hide what is entered by the user.
* Because the object is way more convenient to use (and actually works on mobile devices) than the Text Entry object, it is recommended you use it almost always instead of the Text Entry object.
* This object has 2 limitations, because it's using the native capabilities of the platform to display a "native" input field: the Z order can't be changed (the object is *always* displayed on top of the game) and no effects can be displayed. Because it's handled by the operating system, it may also slightly differ on each platform.
* It's recommended you avoid displaying the object outside of a menu or a static UI, as it may not always display exactly at a position synchronised with the rest of the rendering of the game, especially if used in a fast paced or moving scene.
* This should make it easier to identify and find actions/conditions. Categories give more clarity and icons help to identify what's available without reading everything.
* This allows to generate interesting visual effects, which can be controlled by events. For example, you can use an outline on an object to highlight, make the player glow when launching a spell, blur objects, etc...
* A new "effects" tab is now present in the objects editor. From there, you can add visual effects, that were already available for layers, customize them from this editor.
* Actions and conditions are available to manipulate effects and change their parameters during the game.

* This is useful for making concise actions or conditions.
* This is also useful because for some objects, the center is not located at half the width and the height of the object.
* You can use `Object.CenterX()` and `Object.CenterY()` to get the position of the center of an object in an expression.
* In the list of variables (of the scene, of an object or global variables), you can now specify the type of the variable: number, text, boolean, array or structure.
* Boolean variables can be "true" or "false. They can have their values checked with conditions, and updated with actions. They are a good way to store information about if something is enabled or not (is an item equipped, is something selected, etc...).
* Array variables can contain multiple values, indexed by a number. New values, including any kind of variables, can be appended to an array during the game. Arrays can also have a value removed, and using the event "For each child variable", you can run conditions and actions for each value that is present in the array.
* Boolean and arrays are also supported when you transform a variable from or to the JSON format - which is ideal to send web requests, read configuration files or store any kind of arbitrary data.
* Finally, note that array values can themselves be arrays, structures or any variable. This can be useful to construct advanced logic. You can also access arrays (as well as any variable) from JavaScript code block events.
