Announcement

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.1.1. This is a bug release for Ren'Py 7.1, which improves the new android support and fixes a number of other issues.

Some of the more important bugfixes include:

  • A change to the History screen to fix problems with [[ in dialogue. (This requires you to change screens.rpy, see the changelog for details.)
  • The Android SDK uses a sufficient amount of memory on low-memory computers.
  • A problem with creating non-adaptive Android icons has been fixed.
  • Zero-width characters are drawn correctly, and non-breaking spaces are respected in more places. (This fixes a problem with Arabic text rendering.)
  • Automatic window management now considers dialogue and captions associated with the menu statement.

There have also been a few small feature additions:

  • The SetVariable and ToggleVariable functions now can take namespaces, and fields, so it's posible to have actions like SetVariable("hero.strength", 42) and ToggleVariable("persistent.alternate_outfits").
  • It is now possible to nestle the CTC indicator into the text in such a way that it can not be on a separate line from the final word of dialogue.
  • Drags (used in drag-and-drop) now support alternate clicks, which are right clicks on PC and long-presses on touch platforms.
  • The Russian and Korean translations have been updated.
  • The 86_64 Android APK is given a different numeric version than the arm version, allowing both to be uploaded to the Play store.

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.

Atom (Windows): renpy-7.1.1-atom-windows.zip
Atom (Mac): renpy-7.1.1-atom-mac.zip
Atom (Linux): renpy-7.1.1-atom-linux.tar.bz2
Editra (Windows): renpy-7.1.1-editra-windows.zip
Editra (Mac): renpy-7.1.1-editra-mac.zip
Editra (Linux): renpy-7.1.1-editra-linux.tar.bz2
jEdit: renpy-7.1.1-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-7.1.1" directory.)

Android Support (RAPT): renpy-7.1.1-rapt.zip
iOS Support (Renios): renpy-7.1.1-renios.zip
