+## 6.5.0
+
+
+
+A window loads a folder named `assets` while its loading screen shows, without the folder being passed to its constructor: `new Window(480, 360)` is enough. An assets folder that is passed but does not exist now gets a warning instead of being skipped in silence.
+
+The images, sounds and fonts loaded in advance are now also found again when a sprite uses them. When the assets folder was on the classpath, they were stored under a different path than the one a sprite asks for, so each was loaded a second time on first use, in the middle of the game.
+
+An assets folder inside a jar is now loaded in advance too, so a project that was packaged and shared starts with its assets ready.
+
+In debug mode, each image, sound or font that is loaded only once the project is running is printed, together with the folder to put it in, so it can be loaded while the loading screen shows instead of in the middle of the game.

 ## 6.4.0
 
 A stage can draw with several shaders at once, like Scratch's graphic effects. `getShaders().activate(name)` adds a shader to those already active and `deactivate(name)` removes one; `isActive(name)` and `getActive()` tell which are on. Active shaders take turns in the order they were added, each working on what the one before it drew, so a stage can be tinted and wobble at the same time.
