Ren'Py 6.13.9 Released

Written for Ren'Py by Tom Rothamel on 2012-03-14

I've released Ren'Py 6.13.9. This is primarily a bug fix release, fixing issues with hardware compatibility, non-ASCII file access, and save file size, among others. It also adds support for RAPT, the Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool - a new way of developing and deploying Ren'Py games to Android devices.

To fix a bug with text editing on some systems, I've backported the new text editor system from Ren'Py 6.14. This system changes how you configure a custom editor in Ren'Py. If you're not using jEdit, you may want to check out the new editor documentation or the SciTE.edit.py file that backansi posted here.

The release can be downloaded from:

I'd like to thank the community for their help testing this release before it was made final.

Ren'Py 6.13.8 Released

Written for Ren'Py by Tom Rothamel on 2012-01-19

I've released Ren'Py 6.13.8. This release focuses on improving compatibility - especially with bad graphics cards - and bug fixing. It fixes both minor bugs, and contains low-risk improvements to the design of features. (For example, it includes significantly more useful new-style side image support, and a callback that is run after each python block.) A 6.13.9 will be following shortly, improving Android support.

Testers report that this release works with hardware that failed in 6.13.7, so I recommend everyone consider upgrading.
