  • 👍 Task::new now supports a lazy operation that can fail. #66
  • Face culling has been disabled for Vulkan, Metal, D3D11, and D3D12 backends. In OpenGL, face culling was already disabled.

  🛠 Fixed

  • Hang when Game::TICKS_PER_SECOND is set as 0. #99

• v0.3.2 Changes

  September 01, 2019

  🛠 Fixed

  • Incorrect buffer sizes in the Mesh pipeline. This caused vertices to entirely disappear when rendering big meshes, leading to a potential crash. 79651405673ecd16da21b887a622f6650b29f38f
  • Validation error when rendering meshes using Vulkan, Metal, D3D11, or D3D12. #81

• v0.3.1 Changes

  June 20, 2019

  ➕ Added

  🔄 Changed

  • The built-in Debug view now uses µ instead of u for microseconds.

  🛠 Fixed

  • Resizing in Wayland. #58
  • 📚 Outdated documentation comment in graphics module.
  • 📚 Documentation typos.

• v0.3.0 Changes

  June 15, 2019

  ➕ Added

  • 📱 Responsive GUI support! The new ui module can be used to extend a Game and build a user interface. #35
    • GUI runtime based on Elm and The Elm Architecture.
    • Layouting based on Flexbox and powered by stretch.
    • Built-in GUI widgets. Specifically: buttons, sliders, checkboxes, radio buttons, rows, and columns.
    • Built-in GUI renderer. It is capable of rendering all the built-in GUI widgets.
    • Customization. The ui::core module can be used to implement custom widgets and renderers.
  • 👍 Gamepad support. The input::Event enum now has a Gamepad variant. #29
  • 👍 Mesh support. The types Shape and Mesh have been introduced. Rectangles, circles, ellipses, and polylines can now be drawn with ease using fill or stroke modes. #50
  • The Game::LoadingScreen associated type. Given that all the Game associated types implement a trait with a load method, wiring a loading screen now is as simple as writing its name. Because of this, the Game::new method is no longer necessary and it is dropped. #35
  • Input trait. It allows to implement reusable input handlers. #35
  • KeyboardAndMouse input handler. Useful to quickstart development and have easy access to the keyboard and the mouse from the get-go. #35
  • CursorTaken and CursorReturned mouse input events. They are fired when the cursor is used/freed by the user interface. #35
  • 👍 Off-screen text rendering support. Font::draw now supports any Target instead of a window Frame. #25
  • 🐎 Game::debug performance tracking. Time spent on this method is now shown in the built-in debug view. #26
  • 0️⃣ Implementation of Default trait for Text. #25
  • Transformation::rotate. Creates a transformation representing a rotation. #28
  • Batch::clear. Clears the batch contents, useful to reuse batches in different frames.
  • Implementation of Extend for Batch. #37
  • 🐎 Implementation of ParallelExtend for Batch. A Batch can now be populated using multiple threads, useful to improve performance when dealing with many thousands of quads. #37
  • Text alignment. It can be defined using the new HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment types in the graphics module. #35
  • Font::measure. It allows to measure the dimensions of any Text. #35
  • Rectangle::contains. It returns whether or not a Rectangle contains a given Point. #35
  • Sprite::scale. It can be used to change the Sprite size when drawed.
  • 0️⃣ Default implementation for Sprite. #35
  • 💻 Debug::ui_duration. It returns the average time spent running the UI runtime.
  • 💻 A counter example as an introduction to the new UI architecture. #35
  • A user interface example that introduces the different built-in widgets. #35
  • A gamepad example that displays the last gamepad event. #29
  • A mesh example that showcases the different ways to use the new Mesh and Shape types. #50
  • Multiple gravity centers based on mouse clicks in the particles example. #30

  🔄 Changed

  • 🚚 The Game::Input associated type now has to implement the new Input trait. This splits code quite nicely, as the on_input method moves away from Game. It also makes Input implementors reusable. For instance, a KeyboardAndMouse type has been implemented that can be used out of the box! #35
  • Game::draw now takes a Frame directly instead of a Window. #35
  • LoadingScreen::on_progress has been renamed to LoadingScreen::draw and it now receives a Frame instead of a Window. #35
  • input::Event is now split into four different variants representing input sources: Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad, and Window. Each one of these sources has its own module inside input with an Event type where the old variants can be found. #29
  • 🚚 input::KeyCode has been moved to input::keyboard::KeyCode. #29
  • 🚚 input::MouseButton has been moved to input::mouse::Button. #29
  • Batch::draw and texture_array::Batch::draw do not take a position argument anymore. Using Target::transform before drawing is preferred. #53
  • Font::load has been renamed to Font::load_from_bytes for consistency. #55
  • 🐎 The performance of the particles example has been improved considerably on all platforms. #37
  • 💻 The input example uses the new ui module now.

  ✂ Removed

  • 🍱 The Game::View associated type. Implementors of the Game trait are also meant to hold the game assets now. This simplifies the API considerably, and it helps model your game state-view relationship with precision, avoiding inconsistencies. #35
  • Game::new. Game::load should be used instead. #35
  • Game::on_input. Input handlers now must be implemented using the new Input trait. #35

• v0.2.0 Changes

  April 28, 2019

  ➕ Added

  • Game::on_close_request to control whether the game should be closed when the window receives a close request by the OS. #14
  • input::Event::TextInput event, which triggers on text entry. Contains the character typed as a char. #15
  • input::Event::CursorEntered and input::Event::CursorLeft events, which trigger when the mouse cursor enters or leaves the game window, respectively. #15
  • input::Event::MouseWheel, which triggers when the mouse wheel is scrolled. Contains the number of horizontal and vertical lines scrolled as f32. #15
  • input::Event::WindowFocused and input::Event::WindowUnfocused, which trigger when the game window gains or loses focus, respectively. #15
  • 🚚 input::Event::WindowMoved, which triggers when the game window is moved. Contains the new X and Y coordinates of the window as f32. #15
  • 👍 Text rendering for the wgpu graphics backend. Vulkan, Metal, D3D11 and D3D12 now support text rendering. OpenGL already supported text rendering. #18
  • A changelog. #20
  • Example to showcase input handling. #15
  • Example to showcase proper colors and gamma correction. #19

  🔄 Changed

  • 0️⃣ The debug view is now shown by default when the debug feature is enabled.

  🛠 Fixed

  • Gamma correction in the wgpu graphics backend. Clear colors, font colors, and blending should work as expected in Vulkan, Metal, D3D11 and D3D12. OpenGL was already working properly. #19
