Added

  • 0.71.0Two fingers on a trackpad pan the graph on a Mac or an iPad, and pinching zooms, in Safari as well as Chrome. Scrolling still zooms elsewhere; Settings → Editor → Scrolling the graph picks Pan or Zoom on any machine.
  • 0.71.0The graph works by touch. One finger pans, two pinch and pan, and a tap on empty space clears the selection. Press and hold empty space, then drag, to draw a marquee; lift instead for the node menu. A long press opens the menu a right-click would, and a double tap is a double-click — opening a graph from the tree, adding a reroute knot. Both work everywhere in the editor, and with an Apple Pencil. See Controls.
  • 0.71.0Drag by touch. Press and hold a variable, a local, a file or a tab until it lifts, then drag it — onto the graph, into a folder — as with a mouse. Held and lifted without moving, it opens its menu instead. The drawer it came from slides away as the drag starts.
  • 0.71.0Undo, Redo, Align, Copy, Cut, Duplicate, Delete and Paste are buttons under the graph on a phone or a tablet — Undo and Redo always, the rest while there is something for them to act on. Node Design's logic graph has the same bar. They are icons, or words with Settings → Editor → Action buttons.
  • 0.71.0Node Design shows the node or its logic, not both, on a phone or a tablet, switched with Preview and Logic in the bar above it, which also holds Luau and Nodes. The logic graph gets the whole editor, with the Luau it compiles to beneath it.
  • 0.71.0Graphs drawn in the documentation move the way the canvas does: scrolling pans or zooms as Settings says, pinching zooms on a trackpad or with two fingers, and a double tap fits the graph back in its frame.
  • 0.71.0Node Design follows Scrolling the graph too, and on a phone or a tablet its node list slides over the node editor from a bar above it.
  • 0.71.0On a phone or a tablet, the panels slide over the graph. Project, Variables and Inspector each have a button under it and come out one at a time, with the whole height to themselves; opening a graph from the tree puts the tree away again.
  • 0.71.0The documentation reads on a phone or a tablet: the contents slide out from a Contents button in the header, and the page takes the width. Tap beside them to put them away. The search button beside it opens the search Ctrl+K does.

Changed

  • 0.71.0The mark on a documentation page opens your projects — the editor with its projects panel up — rather than the documentation's front page, which is the first entry in the contents.
  • 0.71.0The Controls page has a tab each for Desktop and Mobile (Webapp), in place of the one Keyboard table. See Controls.
  • 0.71.0Settings stacks on a narrow screen: the sections run along the top and each control sits under its label.

Fixed

  • 0.71.0The documentation's outline no longer squeezes the page below 1100px wide. It was meant to hide there and did not, so on an iPad or a phone in landscape it wrapped under the contents and both halved in height.
  • 0.71.0A tapped button no longer stays grey on an iPad or an iPhone. Safari kept the last button tapped in its hover state — the Variables button, after its drawer was closed by tapping the graph.
  • 0.71.0A node map's project file keeps its height when the Inspector beside it scrolls. On a shorter screen it was squeezed to a single line.
  • 0.71.0The arrows above an iPad's keyboard stay in the documentation's search. They moved the cursor to a field behind it, out of sight, with the keyboard still up.
  • 0.71.0Node Design, the editor and the documentation open in the same tab on an iPad or an iPhone, and the back button returns. The second time Node Design was opened it loaded in a tab of its own that Safari did not bring forward, so the button seemed to do nothing. Edits waiting to be saved are written first, and Node Design asks before leaving a node with unsaved changes. On a computer each still has its own tab.
  • 0.71.0The project tree scrolls within its own panel, so a long tree no longer runs down over the Variables panel beneath it.
  • 0.71.0A wire dragged by touch lands on the pin it is dropped on. It reported the drop to the pin it started from.
  • 0.71.0Tapping a control in a toolbar, Variables or node map picture no longer flickers. The tap lit the new one, went back to the old one, then lit the new one again.
  • 0.71.0The docks keep their sizes after a phone is turned round. Squeezed to fit a narrow screen, they stayed squeezed when it widened.
  • 0.71.0Focusing a field on an iPhone no longer zooms the whole editor or documentation page in.
  • 0.71.0Dropdowns look the same in every browser, and the same as the pictures of them in the docs. In Safari on a Mac they were the system's own control, a different height from the buttons beside them.
  • 0.71.0A documentation page could lay out with its contents in the reading column after an update, until the browser's copy of the stylesheet expired. Each build's pages now name the exact stylesheet and script they were built with.
