Release Notes for v0.5.5.3
Added ability to copy and paste properties between entities in the Map Editor (via right-click context menu in Edit mode)
Added initial "for" loop support to scripting language for iterating over entities within a group (example: for e in group["xyz"] do play_animation(e, "open") end)
