Ren'Py 6.99.11 Released

I'd like to announce Ren'Py 6.99.11, the latest in a series of releases that will culminate in Ren'Py 7, and one of the biggest Ren'Py releases to date.

The biggest change is a new default GUI framework. Out of the box, the new GUI looks more modern, works across a range of screen sizes, and supports mobile devices out of the box. The GUI is also easier for creators of all skill levels to customize, with re-theming accomplished by replacing image files and optionally adjusting variables. The Ren'Py documentation now includes a GUI customization guide explaining how to completely retheme the new GUI.

There have been a features added to Ren'Py to support the new GUI.

* Ren'Py now natively supports a dialogue history/readback system.
* File pages can be renamed by clicking on the page title/number.
* Style properties that use image filenames can take a [prefix_] substitution, which causes a style prefix search.

And the usual set of non-GUI-related changes:

* Android support has been partially rewritten. It now supports x86 in addition to ARM, supports immersive mode, and fixes problems downloading Android dependencies.
* Ren'Py supports Chrome OS by converting an Android package using the Android Runtime for Chrome tool.
* The Ren'Py script language supports locally-scoped labels.
* Transforms support tiling the child multiple times, and panning over the child image by an angle.
