Announcement

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.1.2. This is the second bug release for Ren'Py 7.1, which improves Ren'Py while fixing issues.

There have also been a few feature additions. Some of the highlights are:

  • Transforms that are used once in a screen can now be defined inline.
  • Choice menus can now display as insensitive buttons items selected by the if clause.
  • It is now possible to set variables inside a used screen.
  • Ren'Py can now automatically detect the language of the player's system and select the correct translation.
  • The French, German, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese translations have been updated.

Some of the more important bugfixes include:

  • A bug that caused Arabic text to display as squares on Windows has been fixed.
  • Lint now handles several cases correctly, including layered images.
  • As Ren'Py generally could not created proper android packages with a 32-bit Java 8, it now requires a 64-bit Java Development Kit.

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 (Mac): renpy-7.1.2-atom-mac.zip
Atom (Linux): renpy-7.1.2-atom-linux.tar.bz2

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-7.1.2" directory.)

Android Support (RAPT): renpy-7.1.2-rapt.zip
