    Snapshot 370 is now released
    • Fix crash when opening render settings (since 369)
    • Press F1 in save search to open help text, which documents the new advanced search
    • Expose sim.canMove constants
    • Fix find mode always reporting 0 particles found (since 369)
    • Implement Lua tools, the new API will be documented soon


    It's been a while since I posted about the last snapshot, but we've had 6 since March, they are definitely still a thing.

    I'd also like to shoutout Snapshot 369, which renders the sim in another thread in most circumstances. If enabled, this can give a big performance boost on saves with lots of particles, and also lets you use Fancy mode without much performance impact.

    Snapshot 372 has been released
    • Fix frequent crash when creating stamps (since 371)
    • Fix stamps sometimes being one cell smaller than intended (since 371)
    • Ctrl+q - don't trigger quit dialog if alt is also held


    This fixes the really annoying crashes in snapshot 371. If you didn't get a crash, your stamp probably didn't include all the particles you wanted it to.
    There's also a bugfix so that certain Brazilian keyboards can type / without the quit dialog popping up. On those keyboards, / is on the "Alt Gr + q" key combo. But some weird keyboards treat Alt Gr is a combination of alt and ctrl.

    • Fix crash when flooding deco (since 370)
    • Fix crash involving invalid SOAP properties (predates 98.0)


    This snapshot fixes some long-standing bugs and other crashes. There's also other changes to the build process, as we prepare for a new release at some point soon.
