Update saliency architecture This change introduces an updated model for computing content saliency. Candidates for salient content selection are added via the AddSaliencyCandidate and AddSaliencyCandidateFromNode instructions. The first instruction provides content saliency information explicitly, while the second instructs the virtual machine to fetch saliency metadata from the compiled node. The SelectSaliencyCandidate instruction instructs the virtual machine to consult its configured saliency strategy to see which, if any, of the canidates are the most salient. This approach has several benefits: - Content saliency strategies are given the entire set of candiates to choose from, and have the ability to consider candidates who have a non-zero 'failing condition' count. - Nodes can be queried at runtime for their salience without committing to a selection, allowing the Dialogue to provide information to the game about what content may be presented and its saliency information. - Special-cased function names in the virtual machine are no longer necessary.

The documentation is generated from this commit.

Add instructions for adding and selecting salient content

WIP 'jump and return' implementation Incomplete support for 'visited' updating correctly.

V2 of the Instruction message type. - Instructions are now distinct messages, which makes future changes to them easier. - Certain messages have been renamed to make their stack behaviour clearer. - Jump instructions (like JumpTo) now jump to a specific instruction, rather than to a named label. - Removed the Labels field on Nodes.

Update whitespace formatting in yarn_spinner.proto

2023-01-31

Headers now stored in Program. This means that if you need to know any info that a node header has you can get it back out. Fixes #276 Fixes #181 on YS-Unity

2021-01-15

Conditions at the end of options now control a flag that's sent to the game (fixes #265)

2021-01-13

Remove [[Options]], add <<jump>> command

Update comment in protobuf definition

2020-08-27

Initial values are now used. When a Program is compiled, any variable declarations that were encountered during compilation will have their initial value stored inside the Program. If VariableStorage.GetValue returns null, the virtual machine will consult this list of initial values, to see if a value is available there. If it can't, an exception will be thrown, because the value of the variable can't be determined. (Variables that were declared externally are required to have their initial value always available from the VariableStorage.)

Generate string tables on compilation; add support for automatically generating lines; remove Label opcode; document protobuf

Started migrating to protobuf

Separated the compilation and execution steps of Yarn Spinner.

Forgot that we only have one number type ('float')
