WebStory Engine Versions Save

This is a bugfix release for 2017.1. If you use that version, you should probably update.

Here's what changed:

• Fix italic text (issue #28)
• Fix shake effect (issue #29)
• yes and true are now both considered truthy attribute values and can be used interchangeably
• Fix wrong attribute values in audio tests

This is also the first release to ship with the documentation included in HTML format!

This release comes with the following improvements:

• Custom data sources can now be used (#27)
• Default textbox style changed

It also changes some under-the-hood stuff:

• Remove browserify2using, use usingify
• Change changelog file to markdown format
• Update ESLint config
• Remove MO5.Dict dependency, use string-dict
• Use easy-ajax instead of MO5.ajax
• Remove MO5.dom.Element dependency, use class-manipulator
• Add enjoy-core to the dependencies
• Remove loops, use functions instead
• Savegame feature now refactored into its own module
• Remove attachEventListener (because we don't support legacy browsers)
• Add a createElement module for easier DOM element creation

This release has bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements:

• Unified creation of displayable assets.
• Fixed blurry fonts and images during the reveal effect.
• Removed move.js dependency.

This release adds some new features:

• Added a composite asset which is meant to replace the imagepack asset. Instead of showing just one image at a time, it can display an arbitrary number of images at a time depending on which of its tags are activated.
• Changed the implementation of the reveal/typewriter effect: It now uses CSS animations and uses opacity on the characters in place instead of adding characters to the textbox one after the other.
• Added a precompiler to make games easier to write.

It also changed a lot of things under the hood for engine developers:

• node build now uses browserify to package dependencies not compatible with using.js.
• browserifyToUsing.js exports modules packaged with browserify to using.js.
• Everything engine users need is exported to folder export/.
• node package creates a ZIP file for the engine with an appropriate name that can be used for releases.
• Created some new libraries and included them to minimize dependency of MO5. MO5 should be completely replaced in later releases, so that we can switch to using only npm+browserify for modules.

This release fixes a bug: Restoring a savegame at a choice menu lead to a frozen game.

This release fixes a bug that lead to multiple audio tracks playing at the same time after restoring a savegame.

• The prompt command now has a prefill attribute.
• All UI commands (alert, confirm and prompt) can now have variables in their attributes.

This release adds some new features:

• WebStory code can now be embedded in the HTML so that the engine works without a server on local file systems. Take a look at the xml_embedded test for an example of this.
• The loading screen can now be customized by adding a <loadingScreen> element to the <settings> section. It can contain an HTML template snippet with these variables: {$all}, {$loaded}, {$remaining} and {$progress}

This is a bugfix release:

• Default extensions didn't work with new module system (mainly side-images)
• Added a test game for the side-images extension
• Added head images for Cecile and Jack for testing

This release adds various new features and some bugfixes:

• Added a while command
• Added with command
• Added set_vars command
• Variables can now be used in most attributes using the {$var} syntax
• Options in choice now support inline commands
• The move command now supports anchors for x and y
• Added various tests / example games
• Added full public domain sprite packs "Cecile" and "Jack"
• Textboxes can now be styled differently for each speaker
• WSE now uses MO5's module loader
• Fixed various sound issues
