- This is an advanced, experimental feature which is subject to changes. It's in most cases not useful, unless you have a large game or low end devices for which controlling memory usage is important. It's mostly useful to delay loading of large custom objects.
- Objects can be configured so that its resources are not loaded when the scene is loaded. Instead, you can use an action to manually load the resources used by it. When the loading is done (this can be checked using a condition), the object can then be created.
Be careful: if an object assets are not loaded, it will be broken when displayed on screen.
* Before, this was set as 0 even though displaying as empty in the
variablesList.
* Projects created before 5.6.267 will keep the same behavior (0 as default value for string variables) with an option to move to the new behavior (empty as default value) in the project properties dialog.
* Projects created from 5.6.267 will use the new default behavior (empty as default value)

- For advanced use cases where it's important to run events on each instance of an object with an ordering, the For Each can now have an ordering: an expression can be written and will be evaluated for each instance separately. The For Each will then execute for each instance in the order of the result of the expression.
- It's possible to change the direction (ascending or descending)
- It's also possible to give a limit (for example, 1 will allow to pick just the instance with the highest/lowest value for the expression).
- Examples are provided in the UI for common use cases (maximum value of a variable, health points, ammo, distance to another object...)
- Also fix generated code for events (and Else) not working with 'use strict' (only show in developer changelog)
- Also improve the UI to not show horizontal bars for disabled events and comments
- "For Each Child Variable" now also properly support choosing local variables for the variable to iterate on, and for the variable where to store the child and the optional variable where to store the name.
- The loop counter starts from 0 and is automatically increased by 1 each time the event is repeated.
* For now, this is limited to instances inside custom objects. This will be made available in the future for all instances in scenes if this works well.
* This is not finished yet:
- Documentation needs to be written.
- Menu item (and shortcut?) to quickly toggle between a standard event and a else event must be added so it's easy to switch from one to the other.
- Design must be adapted to make it clearer that the else event is "linked" to the previous one and is not run if the previous event is run.
* This was previously causing issues of GDevelop being stuck trying to log in, opening a new window should now open a completely different GDevelop that can be autonomous. (useful to open multiple projects at the same time for instance)
