Tuesday JS Release 54 Electron

Release of desktop version for Linux and using Electron framework.

Small studios and educational institutions have increasingly started to switch to Linux, mainly because of its availability. This is what prompted us to make a Linux version of the editor.

For convenience, the program is packed into deb and rpm files that can be used by most package managers. With their help, everything you need will be automatically added to the right places and shortcuts will be created in the quick access menu.

Other updates:

• The Windows version will also be distributed in an msi file for installation.

• Working with variables will be changed, in order to avoid compatibility issues and correct operation, it will not be possible to set short names for variables, and only Latin characters. These restrictions will not affect already created projects.

• Creating new variables will be simplified and it will be possible to create them directly in modal windows, and not only in parameters as it was before

• For macOS, there is no longer a requirement to confirm the first launch in the provisioning system.

• In the Android version, problems with adding mp3 files to the release archive have been fixed.

• Improved video element

• Fixed text positioning in select buttons

• Fixed conflicts and priority issues in CSS usage

• Optimized some elements for better compatibility with Electron and other browsers.
