The SuperTux team is excited to announce the availability of the second release candidate for the upcoming stable release 0.5.0 after less than a year of development. The most prominent change for this release is a new in-game level editor which allows you to create levels and worldmaps on-the-fly from within SuperTux itself.

For more information on the changes in the upcoming 0.5.0 release, please see the NEWS or the 0.5.0-rc.1 announcement.

Changes from 0.5.0-rc.1 (2016-08-05):

• Fixed build system in order to correctly support SemVer pre-release tags
• Fixed miniswig compilation
• Editor: correctly join paths (using FileSystem::join())
• Editor: LevelDot: add a NULL check to prevent a crash when editing worldmaps
• Editor: correctly save BadGuy and Dispenser direction
• Editor: reorder layer objects when their object menu is closed
• Editor: allow setting z-pos of decals
• Editor: display a notile when the tile ID is invalid
• Editor: make it possible to switch tilesets

Packages and source tarballs are being uploaded as they are built. This might take some time. A link to Linux packages for specific distributions will appear later too.
