What changes does the latest version of renpy 8 bring?

it is true that it is impossible to extract the rpy
I'm having trouble with extraction from 7.5.0, I believe it is possible to extract from 8.0.0 but then I haven't had much time to try it out.

Something that I have noticed that in those versions the unrpyc script does not work,

I found out for the game of Love and Sex

there is a limit with the size of the game, because i am trying to compile the Mythic manor game with its translation,

The apk is damaged, it does not install

Size limit for APK is the standard 2Gb. (really wish it wasn't)
There are work arounds including using a RPA in the search path in the Android device

Hi Wills747, thank you for sharing this!

I've got your "Renpy 8.0 includes rapt and ready to go" downloaded and extracted. Am I correct that I can just drag the "renpy-8.0.0-sdk" folder onto my "renpy-8.0.1-sdk" folder and then build the .apk file as normal and that's all there is to it?

I haven't built this for 8.0.1 yet, as there have been a number of changes since 8.0.1 I was ready to wait for 8.0.2.
If you're already building with 8.0.1 your best bet would be to have this installed as a stand alone and set it up to build from the directory your main game folder is.
I'll look into updating this weekend if I have a chance.
