- iPad 3 support.
- Multiple SVGs loaded in the same scene.
- SVGs and Spritesheets in the System folders (Temporary, Cache, Documents) – for downloadable content.
- Object cloning.

Changelog
GENERAL NEW FEATURES
[+] Support for iPad 3 in the dynamic resolution settings.
[+] Support to Multiple SVGs loaded on the same scene (i.e. SVGs with different definitions of bodies. Useful in
games with upgradable items, shops, etc, where you can choose as an example a background and a character from different sets,
in this case the background and level would come from a SVG and the character from another SVG).
[+] exposeRawAttributes SVG:createBody parameter, to expose all the SVG attributes from a body.
[+] Support to XML spritesheets.
[+] Support to XML spritesheets in subfolders.
[+] Support to SVG and Spritesheets in the Caches and Temp System folders (i.e. downloadable content)

[+] notDraw is now recognized in materials.
[+] Path materials now accept notDrawn.
[-] Images not loaded from SpriteSheets won’t be scaled forcefully in case of a resolution independent project.
