Tetra v0.6.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-10-10 // about 2 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    • window::set_icon has been added, allowing for the window's icon to be changed at runtime.
      • In general, it's preferable to set the icons via your application's packaging - this function should only be used if the icon needs to change at runtime, or if you're feeling lazy and don't feel like setting up proper packaging.
    • Various utility functions have been added to the window module, allowing for control over window positioning and size. (@Tairesh in #278)
    • An example of using ECS libraries with Tetra has been added. (@rghartmann in #268)
    • A KeyLabel type has been added, which represents how keys are labelled in the current keyboard layout.
    • input::get_key_with_label and input::get_key_label have been added, so that keys can be mapped to and from the current system keyboard layout.

    🔄 Changed

    • 👍 Key now represents the physical position of a key, rather than how it is labelled. This allows for non-QWERTY keyboard layouts to be supported without extra work on the developer's part.
    • KeyModifier now implements Display.
    • The ContextBuilder::key_repeat setting now applies to the input polling APIs as well as events. (@Tairesh in #279)
      • This is in order to make the API more consistent - now, whenever there is an Event::KeyPressed, it is guarenteed to also be returned via is_key_pressed and get_keys_pressed.
      • The behaviour with key_repeat turned off is unchanged.
    • ⚡️ Updated glow to 0.11.

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where the blend mode was getting set on the GPU even when it hadn't changed.
