Input processing has been streamlined to use Unity's new input system by default. We also took the opportunity to clean our input interface, making it easier to integrate with custom solutions such as Rewired.

We added aliases for the inline 'wait input' and 'continue' commands. A small tweak, but hopefully it'll make the syntax more accessible for new users while also keeping it compact.

And here I thought it was a super niche feature! You guys really should let us know what you're missing — I can't read minds :)
