Bug fixes!

Too many. See detailed changelog.

Better undo/redo

Better undo/redo history for screens editing. Before U would only remember one change. Now, it remembers all the changes like a proper undo/redo system.

New shortcuts: CTRL+Z to undo, and CTRL+SHIFT+Z/CTRL+Y to redo. (CMD for Mac people)

Recording/replay system

To prepare for the upcoming z3 scrolling update, we need many recordings of games to add to a test database. If you want to help with that, please send us your .zplay files! Read on to see how:

NOTE: use the latest nightly to record a game, as there is a critical bug for recording in Alpha 110.

the following is from docs/replay.md

Replays are .zplay text files that ZC can create and play back to replay a game session. All button inputs and RNG seeds are recorded so that ZC can recreate the same playthrough frame-by-frame. Here is a demo.

This system was created primarily as a way to create automated tests. For more on that, see tests/run_replay_tests.py.

A new save file can be recorded by selecting the ZC > Replay > Enable recording new saves menu option. This will make any new save file also be recorded. You'll see an alert box telling you where the file will be saved. You can save and continue whenever without harming the recording process.

At any time, you can playback a replay in the ZC > Replay menu to watch it again, and can even take manual control whenever you want. This will not modify any exiting saved games. Note that you currently aren't be able to persist a save file when replaying a .zplay from this menu.

Later work on this system may introduce more user-facing features, such as savestates, rewinding, or creating a new game file from a replay.

In the meantime, a great way to contribute to ZC development is to enable the recording feature for your new games, and provide us your .zplay files. You don't have to finish the game, any amount of playthroughs could be helpful. The more we have, the better coverage our testing system will have, and the fewer regressions/compatibility bugs there will be!
