Announcement

I've released Ren'Py 6.99.14.2, a release that adds support for the Atom text editor to Ren'Py. Atom is a modern and approachable editor with support for a number of features, like code folding.

To try Atom, please go to the Ren'Py preferences, and select Atom as your text editor. The normal Ren'Py text editing features will then use Atom. Further customization can be done inside Atom itself, including switching between dark and light themes.

This release also includes a few new features, and a number of important fixes, so everyone should upgrade.

Special thanks to William Tumeo for the initial creation of the language-renpy Atom plugin, and then for transferring it to the Ren'Py project.

Please see the 6.99.14 release notes and 6.99.14.1 release notes for what's new in these releases.

Editor Downloads

When first asked to edit a file, the Ren'Py launcher will prompt you to download and install an editor. As this may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, the editors can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the editor archive to the Ren'Py directory.

Atom (Windows): renpy-6.99.14.2-atom-windows.zip
Atom (Mac): renpy-6.99.14.2-atom-mac.zip
Atom (Linux): renpy-6.99.14.2-atom-linux.tar.bz2
Editra (Windows): renpy-6.99.14.2-editra-windows.zip

jEdit: renpy-6.99.14.2-jedit.zip

Android and iOS Support

When building Android packages, iOS packages, or web distributions, Ren'Py will prompt you to download RAPT (Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool), Renios (Ren'Py iOS Support), or Renpyweb (Web Platform Support). As these downloads may fail if your Internet connection is unreliable, these packages can be downloaded separately. To install, extract the contents of the archive to the Ren'Py directory. (Place the "rapt", "renios", or "web" directory into the "renpy-6.99.14.2" directory.)

Android Support (RAPT): renpy-6.99.14.2-rapt.zip
