Here it is: release notes


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming end of next week:

• Abilities, Items
  Status value changes of active abilities and items can now optionally check the user or target for Status Requirements and Variable Conditions.
  The change will only happen if the check is valid.
• Status Effect Changes
  Changing status effects (e.g. with abilities, auto effects, etc.) can now optionally check the user or target for Status Requirements and Variable Conditions.
  The change will only happen if the check is valid.
• Combatants: Battle Settings
  Automatically starting battles can now optionally check the user (enemy) or target (player) for Status Requirements and Variable Conditions.
  The auto battle will only start if the check is valid.
• Combatants: Conditional Prefabs
  The new Use Spawned Scale setting will use the scale of the currently spawned prefab when changing prefabs. By default enabled.
• Battle Events: Battle Steps
  The new Change Last Target step allows changing/removing the last targets of a combatant. This can influence things like the battle AI.
• Formulas: Variable Steps
  The new Store Formula Value step stores the current formula value into a float game variable.
• Text Input
  Text input fields can now optionally be used as password fields, masking the user's input with a '*'.
• Music
  Music loops can now optionally check and set the PCM position instead of time.
• Crafting Recipes
  You can now optionally use Status Requirements and Variable Conditions to determine if a combatant can use a recipe.
  If the combatant can use it, the Use Chance will determine if the creation is successfull.
• Menu System: Crafting
  The new Info Only option for the crafting box will only display the recipe's information, not allowing it's creation.
• Event System: Crafting Steps
  The new Can Use Recipe step checks if a combatant can use a selected crafting recipe.
• Status Requirements
  The new Group Leader status check will be valid if the combatant is (or isn't, depending on your setting :D) the leader of his group.
• Status Requirements
  The new Group Size status check will compare the size of the combatant's group to a defined value (e.g. less than 3).
• Status Effects: Status Conditions
  Status conditions can now optionally play damage type animations when doing damage (i.e. negative status value changes).
• GUI System: New UI
  You can now optionally keep the height of the used input prefabs (e.g. text input).
  Otherwise they'll be adjusted to the used font size of the GUI box.
• Event System: Camera Steps
  The new Change Camera Options step allows changing various camera settings that can't be changed through the Change Fields step (e.g. culling mask).
• Event System: Function Steps
  The new Set Object Layer and Check Object Layer steps allow changing and checking the layer of a game object.
• Event System: Status Steps
  The new Change Defence Attribute step allows permanently changing a defence attribute of a combatant.
  E.g. if you have a Race defence attribute, you could change it from human to beast :)
• Event System: Battle Steps
  The new Add Loot step allows adding items, weapons, armors and currency to the battle's loot.
• Event System: Battle Steps
  The new Add Experience Reward Step adds additional experience to the battle's gains.
• Event Sytem: Function Steps
  The Mount Object step's placement options are now optional.
  Just disable Place Object and the game object will only be mounted to the parent instead of also being placed at it's position. E.g. useful for mounting to moving platforms, etc.

These are are some nice features, particularly that Store Formula step and the Status Requirements! :D

gamingislove

Yeah, the status requirements and variable conditions will allow a wide range of new mechanics, e.g. giving an extra boost status effect with a heal ability when a combatant has low HP.
