What's new in this version:

Project Conversion Fixes:
Lots and lots of project conversion issues have been fixed (and a number of you have recieved fixed copies of your projects already, so they're not listed below), however the vast majority were due to one of the following four reasons:
- The default texture/audio groups disappearing from the old project during the conversion process (the same issue which was affecting our own tutorials)
- Corrupt views referencing resources multiple times (so the project may have had issues in 2.2.5, saying it couldn't find files, etc.)
- DnD Scripts referencing multiple resources in unhandled ways
- Amazon's Game Options not upgrading properly from very old values to current ones
- If your project previously failed to convert in 2.3.0 (and we haven't already sent you a fixed copy), please try it again now. If it still fails, then please file a bug ticket and send us the project .yyz/.zip

Bezier Curves:
- Added a new curve type in the Curve Editor - Beziers allow you to ease in/out of curve points and fine-tune your animations
- Also made a number of improvements to manipulating curves used as position tracks on the Sequence Editor canvas - such as live preview/updating of the canvas area as you modify your curves and the ability to modify your bezier handles on the canvas itself

Dopesheet Curve Editor:
- Further improving curve-editing, you can now edit your embedded curves right in the dopesheet within the Sequence Editor - toggle to the curve editing mode and make your changes to see the canvas update
- Added a "Height of Anim Curve Track in Dopesheet" Preference so you can choose whether you want your curves to be double-height in the Dopesheet

Snappable Dopesheet:
- And finally for curve-editing and the Sequence Editor, you can also now snap the Dopesheet to the top, bottom, left or right edges of the Sequence Editor ...or you can pop it out into its own floating window
- Closing or "resetting" a floating Dopesheet will restore it back to the default (bottom) snap
- Each Sequence has its own snap/floating setting so that you can do things like float the dopesheet for one sequence and see it alongside the dopesheet for another

Sprite Broadcast Messages:
- 2.3.0 added the ability for a sequence track to fire off Broadcast Messages, and now 2.3.1 brings the same functionality to all sprites
- You add the message as a moment on the Sprite Editor timeline and then this fires in-game when that frame is reached

Room Manager Tools:
- The Room Manager window has now been extended so you can more easily move your rooms around when you have lots of them you need to manage - some UI tweaks, new send to top/bottom buttons, plus the ability to add groups
- Note that grouping the rooms has no effect on their order - this is still always performed top-to-bottom

Multiple New Package Formats:
- Windows x64 runner support (toggled via Game Options > Windows)
- ARMv7 packages for Ubuntu (GMS2 works this out dynamically depending on the architecture of the device you are targeting for that build)
- UWP multiple architectures in one package (part of the Create Exe button process)
- Should you have one, you will also find GMS2 itself and macOS games now run fine on your Apple Silicon developer-testing Mac
- If you have issues with your projects running fine in the "regular" versions of any of these but in the "new" versions they are incorrect, then please do file a bug ticket and send us the .yyz/.zip copy of the project (give us a download URL if the project is larger than 20MB)
- Removed The English Manual From The Installer
- As more of you are using GMS2's localisation capabilities and choosing to work in your native languages, we have now removed the English manual from the GMS2 install to save a reasonable amount of download size and install space requirement
- The first time you access the manual inside GMS2 you will be asked if you want to download a local copy and work offline or if you're happy continuing with the online manual
- If you want to download the manual later on, or want to change your manual language, then you can do this via Preferences > General Settings > Help
- Be aware also that as well as manual.yoyogames.com (English), there is now also manual-de (Deutsch), manual-fr (Française) and manual-es (Español)

Misc Other Changes:
- Changed the default sorting method used when importing a project to be Custom, so the Asset Browser order matches how the project looked before
- Changed the code-folding on { to be on the function line always, so that you don't get a dangling { as in 2.3.0 - also added a Preference to disable code-folding on { for those who only want to fold via regions
- Added a new Preference for whether you want changing the filtering of the asset browser to immediately re-expanded the groups or not (that the asset browser always expanded all groups each time you created an asset while the filter is active has been fixed)
- Have had to slightly change the Mac IDE keys for managing Bookmarks, as the old ones clashed with macOS hotkeys and so caused issues - setting a bookmark is now CMD+CTRL+[0-9] and jumping back to it later is CMD+[0-9]
- Within the Sequence Editor, you can now create Moment functions using the name you set in the text box, rather than having to create and then rename
- Added a Preference to edit the boiler plate comment shown at the top of a new Script Resource (or to turn it off if you want)
- Added a timeout to debugger connections - so now GMS2 will abort the build and show a "Are you perhaps firewalled?" if the debugger takes too long, rather than waiting indefinitely
- File > My Account will now use your default browser, rather than opening a browser workspace tab inside GMS2
- Lots of missing translations for 2.3.0 features have now been added, along with the translations for the new stuff in 2.3.1
- Added the $ symbol as a new accessor for structs (Which does mean if you have existing code for assigning HEX values to a variable then make sure you haven't wrapped this hex value in []s, as this would cause a compile error now)
- Removed some redundant arguments from buffer_get_surface(), so you will need to refactor any code using this function

- Asset Browser: Zoom resets to 100% on relaunch
