Greetings everyone! I’ve gathered up some info to share with you guys, enjoy!:
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.10) We’re still working hard on getting Windows Creator up to date with our Mac Creator. One such thing that’s currently being looked at is: Adding the expression editor to the open URL behavior. Also we’re hoping to have a new nightly build for Windows in a few weeks!
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The next big release for Macs) Work is coming along on this and there should be a new nightly build out in the near future for you guys to mess around with some of the new features! For those who don’t know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are Facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at Facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it!
New nightly build for Mac. I’ve heard that there’s some bugs blocking us from releasing this to you guys and that we’ll be looking into fixing them Monday. One such blocker is: “Android Viewer crashes while attempting to load a project”
New marketplace. I hope you guys are enjoying the snazzy new homepage! Work on the marketplace is coming along and I’ve heard our web guys are also working on updating other pages of the website as well (such as the downloads and pricing pages)!

One more thing: I’ve heard that video ads for Chartboost work in our current stable release (0.12.10) and have been tested by our QA team!
