Tiled 1.8 Release Candidate

[bjorn]

This is tagged v1.7.91, but it is actually Tiled 1.8.0 RC. Please help with testing and report issues either here, by opening issues or on the Tiled Discord server. Thanks!

Changes since Tiled 1.8 Beta

• Added cut/copy/paste actions to Tile Animation Editor
• Improved undo behavior by merging sequential edits to the same property (Editing string property values creates too many Undo events #3103)
• Added import and export actions for property types
• Added confirmation before removing types, values or members
• Avoid circular references in property types on loading
• Avoid name collisions in types and class members in the Property Type Editor
• Report an error when a property type can't be found
• Limit enums with values as flags to max 32 values
• Separated the X and Y components of the major grid option (Non-square major grid size #3208)
• Added automatic fading out of the grid when zooming out a lot
• AutoMapping: Allow setting a rule map as project rules file (Allow setting Automapping rule map as Project rules file #3221)
• AutoMapping: regions layer now always defines input and output regions
• Show the read error when using --export-map/tileset
• Scripting: Added tiled.propertyValue, for creating values of custom types
• Scripting: Extended the terrain related API (Scripting API needs to provide access to Wang colors #2663)
• Scripting: Added Tool.usesWangSets
• Scripting: tiled.activeAsset can be assigned asset created in script (JavaScript API should allow opening newly created assets without saving them #3160)
• Scripting: Fixed possible crash after creating tilesets from script (crash with custom map format and tilesets #3229)
• Fixed adjusting of tile types when tileset width changed (by Albert Vaca Cintora, AdjustTileMetaData also updates tile types #3237)
• Fixed missing Qt translations for Linux AppImage
• Fixed a possible crash when switching between different property types
• Fixed minimap viewport position when layers are offset (Minimap viewport is calculated wrong when a layer has an offset #3211)
• Fixed "Highlight Current Layer" getting confused (Highlight Current Layer sometimes highlights unselected layers #3223)
• Fixed saving broken references to files loaded using "ext:" prefix (Tiled replaces ext:myTileSet.tsx with ../../../../../../../ext:myTileSet.tsx when saving a tmx file #3185)
• Fixed performance issue in Project view related to file icons
• TMX format: Include propertytype attribute for class members (Nested class propertytype not saved in custom class properties #3230)
• Windows: The installers are signed again (1.8 Beta wasn't) and the WinXP build is included
• macOS: The Tiled.app is signed and notarized again (1.8 Beta wasn't)

Hey @bjorn, have you had a chance to update the TypeScript definitions for the new 1.8 release? The @mapeditor/tiled-api package.

There was this issue here: c56e986#commitcomment-60662151. I made sure I was on the latest version of the @mapeditor/tiled-api package and that issue is still present. And the new 1.8 features are still missing from it. I don't know if it's a manual or automated process on your end, so I'm not making a big deal of it. Just a reminder for us Typescript extension makers :-)

Hmm, I generated the docs with it and it didn't even warn about this. Seems I should look into enabling strict mode checks somewhere.

[bjorn]

I've released tiled-api 1.8.1, which now uses strict mode.

Hi @bjorn, I found another one:

/**
 * Currently selected asset, or `null` if no file is open.
 * Can be assigned any open asset in order to change the active asset.
 */
export let activeAsset: Asset;

Should be:

export let activeAsset: Asset | null;

@user72356 Alright, I've addressed that in 16773a5. Do you need this released urgently?

[user72356]

Thank you, not urgent, the compiler gives an error but it still compiles.
