+# [`bevy_mod_scripting`](https://github.com/makspll/bevy_mod_scripting/) 0.9.7 is out!

+
+## Summary 
+- Adds ability to construct arbitrary types and enums via `construct` global functions:
+```lua
+local myStruct = construct(StructType, {
+    foo = bar
+    zoo = construct(NestedType {
+        foo = bar
+    })
+})
+
+local myEnum = construct(EnumType, {
+    variant = "StructVariant"
+    foo = Bar
+})
+
+local myTupleStructEnum = construct(EnumType, {
+    variant = "TupleStructVariant"
+    _1 = bar
+})
+``` 
+
+- BMS will now automatically register components with `ReflectComponent` type data, so that you can query them as components *before* inserting them into entities. i.e.:
+```rust
+#[derive(Reflect, ..)]
+#[reflect(Component)]
+struct MyComp;
+```
+
+- `ReflectAllocator` diagnostics are now available conveniently packaged as a plugin (measuring current allocation count + deallocations):
+```rust
+app.add_plugins(AllocatorDiagnosticPlugin)
+```
+
+- Initial documentation generation from LAD files is now being published with the book over at https://makspll.github.io/bevy_mod_scripting/ladfiles/bindings.lad.html
+    - This is still a prototype, but will contain useful information on bindings BMS exports by default.
+    - LAD files are in a good shape, but some details need to be polished before they become stable
+    - work on other backends (other than mdbook) should be possible now, albeit changes are expected
+
+## Fixes
+- When an asset handle is requested and immediately dropped, the previously confusing error: `A script was added but it's asset was not found, failed to compute metadata. This script will not be loaded.` was downgraded to a warning with a helpful hint.
+- Cases where resource/component/allocation locks would not be correctly released in the case of script function errors or short-circuting logic were fixed
+- The `bevy/reflect_functions` and `bevy/file_watcher` feature flags are no longer pulled into the dependency tree by BMS, reducing bloat.
