Announcement
I'm pleased to announce Ren'Py 6.99.8. This is the latest in a series of releases that introduce the new features that will make up Ren'Py 7. Ren'Py 6.99.8 fixes a bug with text spacing introduced in 6.99.7, and also adds new features, including:
- The ability to associate an image tag with a layer, transform, and zorder, and a new function that makes adding custom layers easier.
- A full set of easing functions that can be used with ATL.
- An overhaul of new-style side images, allowing transforms (and hence, transitions) to be applied when the side image changes.
- A new PushMove transition class, which uses the new scene to push the old one out.
- HighDPI display support has been added for the Windows platform.
As usual, other features have been added, bugs have been fixed, and Ren'Py has been generally improved.
Ren'Py 6.99.8 is brought to you by:

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.
- Editra (Windows): renpy-6.99.8-editra-windows.zip
- Editra (Mac): renpy-6.99.8-editra-mac.zip
- Editra (Linux): renpy-6.99.8-editra-linux.tar.bz2
- jEdit: renpy-6.99.8-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-6.99.8" directory.)
- Android Support (RAPT): renpy-6.99.8-rapt.zip
- iOS Support (Renios): renpy-6.99.8-renios.zip
