v1.21.0 Changelog

February 22, 2024

Breaking Changes

  • Engine: Fixed depiction of SVG images with content exceeding the SVG viewport/viewbox. The outside content is now properly clipped.
  • Engine: Scenes in video mode are now structured differently. Instead of the scene forming a single timeline which plays each page in order, now every page has its own independent timeline. The APIs for querying and adjusting the playback time and for exporting videos have to be called on the page blocks. Audio blocks have to be parented to the page in which they should play, as opposed to being parented to the scene like they were before.
  • Engine: BlockAPI.exportVideo now requires a page block instead of a scene.
  • Engine: Remove scene/defaultPageDuration property.
  • Editor: Introduce a new and more advanced video timeline.

  • Engine: (Web/video) Fix a leak where we wouldn’t free unused video textures.
  • Engine: generateVideoThumbnailSequence now also accepts arbitrary design blocks that are children of pages.
