6 Backwards Incompatible Changes

These changes will take effect in this version and scripts may need to be manually upgraded when updating:

• callRemote callbacks currently set the error code to nil when there is no error. In this version, to be consistent with fetchRemote, the error code reported will be 0 (#294).
• Since Aug 2015, we replaced the custom mtalocal:// URL scheme with http://mta/resourceName/blah.html. The mtalocal:// URL scheme will now be removed (#1071).
• Since Jul 2016 if you provide an invalid string like "randomstring" when a function expects a number, the string will be treated as 0 and raise a script warning. This will be now an error. You will still be able to provide strings containing numbers (e.g. "100" and "12.34"), this change only affects invalid strings (#1043).
• Some functions expect only unsigned integers (positive numbers), and since Jan 2016 providing negative numbers would be a warning. This will now be an error (#1070).
• When providing a width and height of (0, 0) to createBrowser or guiCreateBrowser you will encounter a script error instead of a warning, introduced in Feb 2019 (#1069).
• The previously unused z argument in getElementsWithinRange now calculates elements in 3D space instead of 2D space (#1994).
