_________________________________________________________

Although a ReadMe file with the information below is contained in the BGE v1.2 download, some people might find it useful to see the changes prior to downloading the zip file.

Version History:
v1.2
• Added a "Shuffle Locations" command to the "Arrange" submenu of a multi-unit selection's contextual popup menu. Selecting this command will shuffle the on-screen locations of all the currently-selected units. This feature should come in handy for games that use a randomly-generated game board composed of component tiles or cards (e.g., flash cards in a memory game).
• Bug fix: When mousing over units without any unit/s selected, unit portraits were sometimes not being displayed in the upper right corner of the map window if the mouse cursor was moved from one unit to another without ever passing over the game board or a component set to "Tile" first.
• Bug fix: Double quotes ( " ) can no longer be typed into a unit's Notes. Doing so would make Game Files and/or Deployment files unreadable to BGE.
• Bug fix: The chat input field on the Chat window was sometimes receiving Paste events even when BGE was not the active application and the Chat window was not the active window.
• Bug fix: When a media asset with a file name over 27 characters (not counting the file type extension) was imported into BGE, the asset would not be found when needed.

In order to try to keep the BGE documentation as up-to-date and complete as possible, I have uploaded a new Addendum to the BGE User Manual. It now covers all the changes and feature additions made up through BGE v1.2.

Download your copy from the Downloads page, and place it in your BGE root folder.
