GDevelop 5 5.2.169

Improvements:
Prevent saving in the same folder as GDevelop's executable
Some users have mentioned their project disappear after a GDevelop's update. This is a safe-guard to avoid projects from being saved in the executable folder, as it gets deleted on every update.
Rework the asset store to show bundles and owned packs first
Also slightly improve the size of dialogs on large screens
Bug fixes:
Fix multiple flaws in collision masks & points management:
Adding a new sprite in a new animation will now correctly copy points and collision masks defined in others if "sharing with all animations" is toggled
Automatic collision mask will now be automatically applied when adding multiple sprites, or when editing with piskel
Collision mask will be applied correctly for new sprites, when the default (full image mask) is set
Fix a bug where renaming project elements wouldn't work when an action is using the default layer
Note
Thanks Rusher_go, H0ndred and VegeTato for your involvement regarding collision masks usage!

Internal changes (for developers):
Remove duplicate cache registration code (thanks @st-Wook!)

Support for 3D animations and more 3D features
Animations are now supported for 3D Models: you can breathe life into your 3D models by playing the animations that are stored in GLB models. Simply use the actions to play and switch between animations, like for Sprite objects.
Various improvements for 3D are also brought in this release:
A new guided lesson is now available: learn how to "Create a 3D Box".
The tooltip displayed when hovering an instance in the editor now displays the Z coordinate for 3D objects and models.
Add support for 3D models compressed with Draco.
Add possibility to change the origin and center points of a 3D model.
Add support for antialiasing: enable or disable the setting for 3D games in the project properties.
Add a new effect: hemisphere light for 3D layers.
The internal 3D engine (Three.js by @mrdoob) was upgraded to r152. This change impacted the color rendering process: 3D models will look brighter and you may need to reduce the light intensity.
? Use AI to kickstart a mini-game
You can now use the help of an AI agent to start up a new project. This experimental feature will help you create the first level of your game and quickly go from an idea to a mini game.
Screenshot of the prompt used by the AI to understand your game
? New Education plan for students and teachers
Education plan are designed to provide teachers a seamless and cost-effective solution for introducing game development into their classrooms. With this innovative program, educators can now easily give to a pool of users the powerful Gold Subscription benefits at a reduced price - while maintaining their anonymity (which is perfect for usage in education where privacy requirements are often stricter than in other fields).
You're a teacher? Buy the education plan for your classroom(s) directly from your GDevelop account.
Note
This plan is limited to teachers and members of a university or a school.
? Improvements
Use the project name when creating a new project file stored locally on the desktop app.
Automatically set a default operator when adding a new condition or action.
Start over from the suffix number when generating a new name.
?? Extensions
Reviewed
[Rectangle Movement] Add ability to move around the border of another object. It makes designing levels more visual.
Add condition for clockwise
[MousePointerLock] Fix the mouse acceleration on laptop (thanks @FlokiTV!)
[Draggable (for physics objects)] Add "Start dragging object" to enable custom picking of object to be dragged
By default, dragging requires the cursor to be over an object. This is not great for fabrics of small objects, because there is a lot of space that will not trigger a drag to start. This change adds a new action to manually start dragging, so game creators can choose when and which objects to grab.
[Fire Bullet] Add action to fire bullets at an object

Bug fixes:

Fix crash when modifying the operator for an action or condition of a "color" property of a behavior
Fix debugger actions not hiding properly after opening it
