This release introduces user experience enhancements, key bug fixes, and expanded layout customization features. It also includes licensing updates and improved support for non-commercial version compatibility.

Construct 3 was recently migrated to use Terser minification instead of UglifyJS which introduced several breaking changes for the minified framework. Therefore, this is a major compatibility upgrade to keep SmartUI running smoothly for every user.

🆕 New Features

Framework Core

• OnRender Event for GridLayout A new OnRender event has been added to the GridLayout behavior, allowing actions to be triggered after the layout is fully rendered.

• Automatic Focus for Containers and Dialogs Containers and dialogs now automatically pass focus to the first available child component when they receive focus.

• Mesh Support for Progress Bars Progress bars can now render their width using a mesh, enabling support for clipping animated sprite-based progress, instead of stretching the texture. This new feature relies on the Render Mode property.

• Improved Focus Handling on Interaction Components now receive focus when interacted with via click or touch. Updates were made to ITouchable, UIContainerFocusableController, and UIButtonController to reflect this behavior.

• Backward Compatibility for Non-Commercial Versions Enhancements ensure proper support for non-commercial exports and maintain compatibility across versions.

GridLayout Behavior

• New Runtime Configuration Actions New actions allow dynamic configuration of layout dimensions at runtime:

  • Set Columns Width Array

  • Set Rows Height Array

• Grow Actions and ACE Translation Updates New ACE actions Set Grow Width and Set Grow Height have been added, along with updated translations.

• Improved Render Style Options Render styles now support independent grow behavior, separate from the render-first property. New expressions provide access to the number of rendered columns and rows.

• OnRefresh Trigger A new OnRefresh trigger allows events to be fired whenever the layout is refreshed.

• Render mode Rendererunderwent a breaking change in the JSON payload to build dynamic grids. The JSON property templatewas replaced by `template-name`, to maintin compatibility with the latest minification tool.

Progress Bar Behavior

• Set Step Action Adds the ability to increment the progress bar in defined steps using the new Set Step action.

• Focus Fix and New Control Actions The SetFocus action now functions correctly. Two additional actions have been added:

  • Set Sequence

  • Set Invisible Component

🐛️ Bug Fixes

• GridLayout FIT Mode Scaling Fixed a bug in FIT mode where improper aspect ratio calculations could cause elements to exceed their container size.

• Checkbox and Radiobutton Animation Resolved an issue where press animations were interrupted. Animations now remain consistent when elements are pressed.

• Buttons Hover Animation The getHoverAnimation expression now returns an empty string when no animation is set, preventing unintended behavior.
