Announcement

I'd like to announce Ren'Py 6.99.11, the latest in a series of releases that will culminate in Ren'Py 7, and one of the biggest Ren'Py releases to date.

The biggest change is a new default GUI framework. Out of the box, the new GUI looks more modern, works across a range of screen sizes, and supports mobile devices out of the box. The GUI is also easier for creators of all skill levels to customize, with re-theming accomplished by replacing image files and optionally adjusting variables. The Ren'Py documentation now includes a GUI customization guide explaining how to completely retheme the new GUI.

Thanks go to Auro-Cyanide for the original design of the new GUI. (But don't blame her - we've had to stray quite a bit from that design in pursuit of resolution independence.)

There have been a number of features added to Ren'Py to support the new GUI.

• Ren'Py now natively supports a dialogue history/readback system.
• File pages can be renamed by clicking on the page title/number.
• Style properties that use image filenames can take a [prefix_] substitution, which causes a style prefix search.

And the usual set of non-GUI-related changes:

• Android support has been partially rewritten. It now supports x86 in addition to ARM, supports immersive mode, and fixes problems downloading Android dependencies.
• Ren'Py supports Chrome OS by converting an Android package using the Android Runtime for Chrome tool.
• The Ren'Py script language supports locally-scoped labels.
• Transforms support tiling the child multiple times, and panning over the child image by an angle.

A Vietnamese translation of the launcher and tutorial has been added by Thuong Nguyen Huu. An Indonesian translation of the launcher and default project has been contributed by Pratomo Asta Nugraha.

Editor Downloads

When first asked to edit a file, the Ren'Py launcher will prompt you to download and install an editor. As this may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, the editors can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the editor archive to the Ren'Py directory.

Editra (Windows): renpy-6.99.11-editra-windows.zip

Editra (Mac): renpy-6.99.11-editra-mac.zip

Editra (Linux): renpy-6.99.11-editra-linux.tar.bz2

jEdit: renpy-6.99.11-jedit.zip

Android and iOS Support

When building Android packages, iOS packages, or web distributions, Ren'Py will prompt you to download RAPT (Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool), Renios (Ren'Py iOS Support), or Renpyweb (Web Platform Support). As these downloads may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, these packages can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the archive to the Ren'Py directory. (Place the "rapt", "renios", or "web" directory into the "renpy-6.99.11" directory.)

Android Support (RAPT): renpy-6.99.11-rapt.zip

iOS Support (Renios): renpy-6.99.11-renios.zip
