Document 0.8.1: expressions, wrangles, playback and publishing
Four new pages, all linked from the sidebar:
Expressions the grammar, the ~30 builtins, ch() path forms, the
geometry queries, the naming model, the sandbox
limits, and what a rename does to a reference
Attribute-Wrangle the element scope, typed locals, why there is no
control flow, the editor's completion and error
marking, and the two nodes that now read what a
wrangle can write
Runtime-And-Playback the scene clock, the Playbar, why one tick is one
frame, and why a heavy scene plays slowly instead of
skipping
Publishing-A-Scene File > Export web bundle, what the archive contains,
the player config, and the one real limitation (it
must be served over HTTP, not opened from file://)
Release notes for v0.8.1, covering all six features plus the two rounds of
testing feedback, and stating plainly that this release is Solarxy Web only:
solarxy-app is still unwired from solarxy-graph, so desktop has no
parameters to drive and no light nodes to author.
Node-Reference regenerated at 76 node types, for the new attribute_wrangle
and text nodes and for rect_area_light v3.
Solarxy-Web gains the new capabilities, the Playbar, the Text panel, and the
seven bundled sample scenes, which the app has offered under File > Sample
Scenes since 0.8.0 and no user-facing page had ever mentioned.
Keyboard-Shortcuts gains the playback bindings (Space, comma and period,
Home). User-Guide points at the new pages. Architecture's node count
corrected. Two FAQ entries for the questions this release will actually
generate: why area-light intensity does not behave like a point light's, and
why a heavy scene drops to a lower frame rate rather than skipping frames.
