Native Extensions

We have now added support for building your native extensions for HTML5
It works both when using ‘Build HTML and Launch’ as well as when bundling.
It supports C++, embedded JavaScript, and Emscripten JavaScript libraries.
Editor 2 support for HTML5 native extensions is being worked on and will follow shortly.

We also fixed an issue during the sprint where the build server didn’t take all the
Android flags, linkFlags and libs into account.

Documentation

There is a new section on the site called “Examples23” where you can find small contained examples on how to do common things in Defold. We will expand this section and are taking requests!
