v1.2.0-stable

Spatial Gardener 1.2.0 is here!

This update optimizes Gardener storage to use less space in a .tscn file (up to 50% less).
The size reduction really depends on how much of your scene consists of Gardeners. In a showcase level (the one attached), scene file weights 54% of the original size (18 MB down from 33 MB).

In Gardener-only tests (nothing but plants), these were the compression results:

• 100'000 grass-like instances:
  • 48.1 MB before
  • 11.2 MB after (23% of the original)
• 10'000 tree-like instances (with collision bodies):
  • 7.2 MB before
  • 3.6 MB after (50% of the original)

Real-world numbers will vary.

NOTE: This change breaks compatability with previous versions. Refer here for a conversion guide

See Changelog for a full list of noteworthy changes.

And make sure to backup your projects before updating.
