Fix a handful of regressions from some of the bigger input and animation changes merged for beta 15. Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs. Audio: Disable OGG and MP3 looping by default on import ( GH-71858 ).
