What's new in this version:

GDevelop 5.0.0 Beta 117
New features:
Add support for visual effects ("shaders") on objects:
- This allows to generate interesting visual effects, which can be controlled by events. For example, you can use an outline on an object to highlight, make the player glow when launching a spell, blur objects, etc...
- A new "effects" tab is now present in the objects editor. From there, you can add visual effects, that were already available for layers, and customize them from this editor.
- Actions and conditions are available to manipulate effects and change their parameters during the game
- Learn more on the wiki: http://wiki.compilgames.net/doku.php/gdevelop5/objects/effects

Add support for behaviors based on other behaviors ("behavior composition"):
- This allows custom behaviors, that you can create in your project or get from extensions, to require the presence of one or multiple other behaviors on an object: This is an advanced feature that is helpful to create behaviors that are based on other. For example, a behavior "Platformer enemy" using the "Platformer object" behavior and adding specific actions, conditions and logic to make an enemy chase the player. If you create a behavior and want to use this, just go to the properties of this behavior and add a new property. Choose the type "Required Behavior" for this property. You can then use this new behavior in the events of the behavior you just edited.
- To use a behavior based on another, you don't need to do anything special! Just add it to your object as usual: any missing behavior will be added to your object, so you can start using it immediately.

Improvements:
- Allow colors to be used for behavior properties
- Rework the color fields to allow to enter colors as R;G;B directly in the field
- Allow behaviors to have a "string list" property like functions
- Add the word "object" in timer actions/conditions names, to make them easier to spot
- Add multiple contributors to the credits (Thanks @arthuro555!)
- Allow rounding pixels when rendering on a project level
- Add command to open the extension search in the command palette
- Improve events sheet wording for object boolean variables
- Prevent variable value to be set to an invalid number ("NaN") in the variables editor
- Allow again to choose the opacity of the grid in the scene editor: Also fix an issue where a grid with the black color was not persisted properly.
