Release v0.17.4

A very tiny bugfix release following the previous (and larger) v0.17.3 release.

How to update Ceramic

• Via haxelib: haxelib run ceramic setup
• Via git: https://ceramic-engine.com/guides/ceramic-via-git/#update-your-existing-ceramic-via-git

Changelog

• [runtime] Do not round transformation when binding to screen size, that seems to create more problems than it solves

Full Changelog: v0.17.3...v0.17.4

Release v0.17.3

A release bringing a few minor API changes (non breaking) and fixes.

How to update Ceramic

• Via haxelib: haxelib run ceramic setup
• Via git: https://ceramic-engine.com/guides/ceramic-via-git/#update-your-existing-ceramic-via-git

Changelog

• [runtime] Add missing helpers in Particles object
• [runtime] Make Color and AlphaColor types functionally identical (they all get the same helpers available)
• [runtime] Add iterator()/keys()/keyValueIterator() alloc-free implementations to IntMap, IntIntMap, IntFloatMap and IntBoolMap
• [unity] Fix editor preview running at very high FPS: cap it to 60FPS instead
• [tilemap] Fix an off by one error in tilemap rendering
• [unity] Fix invalid exported C# in sprite plugin (haxe's C# target and its quirks...)
• [elements] Implements Im.select() for enums and enum abstracts
• [elements] Ensure SelectListView doesn't reload itself when assigning a new array with identical values

Full Changelog: v0.17.2...v0.17.3

Release v0.17.2

This release brings soloud audio implementation on all native platforms (linux was still missing before).
It also slightly changes how clipping/masking behaves.

• [tools] Remove some obsolete API and improve handling of completion.hxml/no completion.hxml
• [linux] Now that soloud is using miniaudio, it works fine with linux target as well so openal fallback is no longer needed
• [runtime] When assigning a visual to another's clip property, the visual is now clipped with its children (before, it was only children and not the visual itself). Former behaviour still available with ceramic_clip_children_only, if needed for compatibility reasons)

Full Changelog: v0.17.1...v0.17.2

Release v0.17.1

This release brings many bugfixes and improvements:

• [runtime] Fix texture atlas parser failing on rotate field on xml atlases
• [runtime] Add NineSlice.tile property support (also supports rotated tiles from atlases)
• [runtime] Camera translateX/Y becomes contentTranslateX/Y (breaking change, but easy to adapt)
• [tilemap] Optimise how tile quads are computed in layer so that it can handle tilemaps of very large size (as long as clipTiles options are used properly)
• [tilemap] Add layer options to configure how collisions are checked
• [tilemap] Various internal optimisations to reduce allocations and cpu usage
• [arcade] Various fixes in how overlap/collide is handled internally
• [runtime] A few fixes/optims related to arcade physics and groups
• [android] Update project template to SDK 31 and Gradle 7
• [clay] When using soloud audio (default except on linux), use miniaudio as backend.

A lot of changes have been done on the audio implementation. If you encounter any issue with native audio, you may post an issue explaining the problem so that it can be fixed, and meanwhile you can switch to a legacy audio backend until sorted out, by using one of those defines:

• soloud_use_sdl will make Soloud use SDL audio instead of the new Miniaudio backend
• ceramic_use_openal will make you project use OpenAL instead of Soloud

Full Changelog: v0.16.0...v0.17.1

Release v0.17.0

This release brings many bugfixes and improvements:

• [runtime] Fix texture atlas parser failing on rotate field on xml atlases
• [runtime] Add NineSlice.tile property support (also supports rotated tiles from atlases)
• [runtime] Camera translateX/Y becomes contentTranslateX/Y (breaking change, but easy to adapt)

Release v0.16.0

This release includes some new optimisations and features:

• Add app.nape.paused property to pause nape physics
• Optimise clipping when the clipping visual is a regular rectangle: it now uses scissor instead of stencil buffer in those cases
• Add antialiasing support for content rendered onto render textures
• Allow to disable stencil buffer on render texture
• Add NineSlice visual

Full Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.16.0

Release v0.15.0

This release brings various fixes as well as a new audio backend for clay: soloud! It is enabled by default on all targets except linux.
To use previous openal implementation, add ceramic_use_openal define.

It also drops support of Android NDK r15c (gcc). From now on, you should use NDK r21e (clang)

• [runtime] Add SceneSystem.autoScaleFilter to be able to disable filter auto-scaling
• [elements] Add Im.beginChangeCheck()/endChangeCheck()
• [tilemap] Rename EDGE_CORNER_32_EXPANDED to EXPANDED_48 (makes more sense)
• [runtime] Fix weird edge case on web on windows where we could see a gab between triangles in some situations
• [audio] Add mp3 and flac support on targets using soloud as well as web (if the browser supports it)
• [audio] Various fixes
• [audio] Openal-soft is no longer needed where it was used (android & windows) as it's replaced with soloud for good
• [runtime] Add TextureTile.edgeInset (to tweak texture uvs against bleeding)
• [android] Drop support of Android NDK r15c (gcc). From now on, you should use NDK r21e (clang)

Full Changelog: v0.14.2...v0.15.0
