* 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.
* New actions are available to save & load the game state, making Saving & Loading as easy as adding 1 action to your game!
* While it will work in most cases, it has a few limitations and hasn't been thoroughly tested on all types of objects/behaviors and games, so it is for the moment tagged as **Experimental** while we gather feedback and improve it
* Check out the wiki for more info: https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/all-features/save-state
* When an object is selected (or when "Edit object" button is clicked in the properties panel after choosing an instance), the properties panel will show the properties of the object.
* This allows for fast edition of most elements of an object: appearance, properties, but also behaviors, variables and effects. Most workflow and iterations on your game should be faster, from adapting the appearance of a text to tweaking behaviors and updating the preview to check the result in realtime.
* This allows playing around with instances directly on the canvas instead of relying on the actions to flip or change opacity and needing to start a preview
* Still to do:
* Properly handle effects (disable 3D effects) for layers
* Handle hot reloading properly
* Avoid duplicating the configuration of the custom object inside each object created from it. Instead, only store the modified values.
* Add a "Extract as a custom object ("prefab")" when selecting instances in a scene.
* Add a dialog to give choice between 2D or 3D object when creating one.
* Make sure "behavior shared data" are properly handled (physics, pathfinding...)
* Check if we need to give an expression to translate coordinates from the parent to the local custom object.
* Ensure a deleted custom object does not break the editor

* An object changing layer during the game is now properly moved to the layer on the other players games
* Video object can be synced as well
* Pathfinding behavior is now properly synced, allowing a smooth prediction on other players games
* Spine object is now synced as well
* This opens the path to multiple performance improvements (faster WebGL rendering, and then WebGPU rendering) as well as optimised resources loading in the future.
* When launching the Debugger to inspect a game, open the Console to see internal messages sent by the game, JavaScript code or the game engine.
* This is an advanced feature that is useful to find issues in your game or to see if your game is displaying any internal error.
* This includes BBText, Text, Tilemap, Tiled Sprite, Panel Sprite and the Video objects.
* Also add support for tweening the scale of a Panel Sprite object.
