Construct 3 was first released in 2017, around 8 years ago. In order to ensure we can keep improving Construct in the long term, it's important to eventually retire features that are deprecated, have been superseded, or have otherwise been holding it back. This release is a major compatibility milestone as we are retiring a number of legacy features. These include:
• Legacy (SDK v1) third-party plugins and behaviors (r450+ only supports SDK v2)
• The NW.js exporter (r450+ only supports the Windows WebView2, macOS WKWebView, and Linux CEF exporters)
• Support for exporting to Windows 32-bit (x86) and Linux ARM 32-bit
• The legacy "flat" export file structure
• The legacy "file" scheme for iOS and Android
You can however continue using all the above features in the r449.x LTS releases which will be supported until the end of 2026 (and will still be available after that, but without support and so further use is at your own risk).
We'll be starting a new beta release cycle soon. If you'd like to help test it, try the beta release opt-in: choose Notify me about updates for beta releases in Settings. Stay tuned for more updates!
