Added "system.date" Bauxite syntax for getting the current system date (returned as a codex with the following keys: "year", "month", "day", "weekday", "dst")
Added "Object Enters" and "Object Exits" zone events for triggering scripts when an object (e.g. projectile, pushable, physics object, etc.) enters/exits a zone

Added "Distance" scripting function for getting the distance between two entities, measured in voxels (e.g. $result = distance(player, entity["xyz"]))
Added "Pad Zeros" scripting function for padding a numeric value with leading zeros (e.g. pad_zeros(17, 4) will return a string value of "0017")
Added "Show Equipment" scripting function for opening the specified character's equipment widget (e.g. show_equipment(party.member["xyz"]), defaults to the current player character)

Changes/Updates

Moved "Pushable" object setting in the Map Editor to the "Thingies" section (the "Thingies" section can be expanded by double-clicking the header or clicking the plus button)
Updated pushing functionality so the player will now automatically push a pushable object when moving against it and continuing to move (instead of requiring it to be grabbed first)
Updated pushing/pulling functionality so the player will now auto-release a grabbed object when moving perpendicular to the push/pull direction (or away if not pullable)
Updated map loading logic to improve load times when returning to previously visited maps (before, load times would gradually increase in certain scenarios)
Updated save game functionality so that the current in-game time (i.e."global.time") is now properly saved and restored, including day/night lighting if applicable
Updated collision functionality for the player character so that custom collision will now be used if configured in the Voxel Editor
Updated collision functionality for entities in grid-based maps so that custom collision will now be used if configured in the Voxel Editor (allowing on hit scripts to trigger)
Updated collision functionality for impassable projectiles fired from turrets or via the "Fire Projectile" function to damage the player in addition to pushing them
Updated "Climb Up" input action so it will now attempt interaction with scripted entities the player is standing in front of (e.g. to enter a door in a side-scrolling platformer)
Updated climbing in free movement so the player can grab back onto a climbable tile via the "Climb Up" action when facing away after dismounting from the bottom
Updated "Door" Thingy settings to split out the open/close sound effect into two different dropdowns so each sound can be configured separately
Updated crouching in first-person free movement so that the player's "Crouch Vision Height" setting will determine collision if no "idle_crouch" animation is defined
Updated attachment functionality in the Voxel Editor so that nested attachments beyond one level will now display (up to 10 levels deep)
Updated "Save Camera Position" dialog in the Voxel Editor and Map Editor to display a warning if a camera position with the specified name already exists
Updated "Zones" dropdown on the Map Properties tab of the Map Editor to now sort the list of zones for the map alphabetically
Updated visual indicators displayed for zones in the Map Editor (i.e. green and red boxes) so they will no longer receive shadows
Updated global illumination functionality in the Map Editor to ignore entities with "Use in Baked Light" disabled when calculating the area to which to apply it
Updated "Completion Script" and "Failure Script" for quests to provide the $quest_id variable containing the quest's ID (similar to global quest scripts)
Updated "Set Gameplay Property" scripting function to support properties for the new fall damage functionality (see function documentation for details)
Updated "Damage Entity" scripting function to add a visual health bar above the target character if one isn't shown yet (unless "Floating Health Bars" is disabled in the Stats Editor)
Updated "Apply Status Effect", "Remove Status Effect", and "Clear Status Effect" scripting functions to allow the character's entity ID to be supplied as a string
Updated "Show Inventory" function to add an optional parameter for specifying which character the inventory should be opened for (e.g. show_inventory(party.member["xyz"]))
Updated "Add Item To Tile" scripting function to add an optional fourth parameter for specifying an entity ID for the item drop so it can be referenced elsewhere
Updated "Set Zone Script" scripting function to support OBJECT_ENTER and OBJECT_EXIT as trigger options (for projectiles, pushables, physics objects, etc.)
Updated "item" Bauxite syntax so it can now be used directly as a codex lookup without being first stored into a variable (e.g. $name = item["ITEM_0001"]["name"])
Updated "Global Time" option in the Script Editor's Expression Builder to instead use the more specific wording of "In-Game Time"
Updated enemy spawning to now drop the enemy's assigned loot drop(s) when defeated (i.e. the loot drops configured in the "Enemy" section of the Combat Editor)
Updated spawning logic (enemy spawns and "Add Character" function) to now throw an error to the in-game debug console when spawning a character with a default behavior preset that no longer exists
Updated item table for loot drops in the Combat Editor so you can now click on any column in order to select that loot item for the editing of its details
Updated right-hand side asset tabs to now show attachments in their generated previews (remove files in project's "cache" folder to make use of this, noting that custom thumbnails will be lost)
Updated auto-completion functionality in the debug console (tab key) to include the two optional parameters for the "Play Sound" function (i.e. loop mode and interval length)
Updated "Flame" preset (available as an option when creating a new effect in the Effect Editor) to use the new "Unshaded" setting to provide a better visual look
Updated Stumpy the Squirrel character in the built-in Asset Library with more animations (now also includes jump, climb, and wave)
Updated Stumpy's acorn model in the built-in Asset Library to now have a smaller default scale of 0.85 instead of the previous scale of 1.0
Updated "base_justin" and "base_sarah" characters in the built-in Asset Library to use a separate foot color for easier filling across all frames
Updated Asset Library so that all assets are now automatically deselected/unchecked after successfully importing the assets into your project

Fixed issue where effects for attached objects in the Voxel Editor were not in the correct position (e.g. particles emanating from a staff attached to a character's hand)
Fixed issue where the dropdowns in the "Configure Attached Objects/Effects" dialog were not being truncated properly and long names would cause them to expand outside the window
Fixed issue where attaching an object to itself (or at some point down the chain) would cause the game to crash when ran (attachment nesting is now limited to 10 levels deep)
