Changelog

Breaking Changes

• Editor/Web: Modernized editor theme with refined color palette, unified elevation surfaces, and improved visual hierarchy.
• Engine/Android: Fixed crash on calling AssetApi.fetchAsset.
• Engine/Android: Replaced AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:) with AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:options:) by adding FetchAssetOptions argument. The replaced function AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:) won’t be called anymore. Asset sources that implemented this old optional method need to be updated.
• Engine/iOS: Replaced AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:) with AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:options:) by adding FetchAssetOptions argument. The replaced function AssetSource.fetchAsset(id:) won’t be called anymore. Asset sources that implemented this old optional method need to be updated.
• Editor/Web: Clips added from the asset library will now no longer be automatically added to the background track when the timeline is still empty
• Engine: The ‘unstable_exportAudio’ API was renamed to ‘exportAudio’ and is now able to export audio from scenes, pages, tracks, audio blocks and blocks with video fills.
  • Audio can be exported to either ‘audio/wav’ and ‘audio/mp4’:
  • When exporting audio from either an audio block or a block with a video fill, if the underlying resource is not compatible with the requested mime type, the audio is first transcoded. Otherwise, the audio data is returned immediately.
  • Added the flag ‘skipEncoding’ to the AudioExportOptions (disabled by default). Enabling it will allow getting the audio data from buffers directly while bypassing encoding (even if it is needed).
