Excellent, now all I need to do it finish my game (yeah right )

atilim

@all If you've downloaded 2013.09, can you download again? I've re-fixed a previous bug.

ArtLeeApps

hi @atilim ,

What does "Feature: (Android) Facebook plugin" entail. is that a fix on the current plug in?

OZApps

@Atilim,

1. does it have Graphics 2.0?
2. Can the download be slimmer than 150+ MB? Maybe have two options, delta download and complete download.

Thnx

@ArtLeeApps it simply means that Facebook plugin is now bundled with Gideros, rather then taking it from separate github repo or Gideros Labs

@OZApps, no it still the old version (thus the versioning 2013.09) to fix bugs basically a transitional version, but still support Android 2.2 and Open GL ES 1.1

This is the supposed to be the last ARMv6 version, right?

Then only targeting ARMv7 And Open GL ES 2 in Gideros 2.0?

Thank you for confirming. Best,

AMENDMENT: Nevermind, I just read the release notes:

"Update: (iOS) Dropped armv6 support and updated minimum iOS version to 5.0."

Personally, I'm glad you've dropped armv6 support and support only iOS5+. Even a iOS5 minimal platform is pretty ancient and slow. A 3GS runs iOS6 and that's really slow compared to an iPad2.

OZApps

@ar2rsawseen and the tentative time lines on v2.0?

Venorcis

@ar2rawseen It might be a good idea to clean up the labs page to make clear (remove) the plug-ins that are in gideros itself already now.
Related to that, why are some plugins marked as 'stable' not embedded (e.g. the notifications)?

zoolax

which version still supports IOS armv6?

atilim

@zoolax 2013.06.03. But Apple doesn't accept armv6 binaries for a long time. You may need this old version only to test on armv6 devices like iPod touch 2nd gen.

zoolax

@atilim
Thanks:)

atilim

@OZApps now we're back to working on 2.0.

@Venorcis Yes, we'll remove. JSON, BitOP, etc are now graduated from Labs We'll include other stable plugins with the future releases.

gorkem

@atilim maybe you may think of putting a beta version for 2013 & 2.0 series before you release to the public? So it gets tested for the impatient and you'll have some time to fix unforeseen bugs.

*-:) "Feature: Encryption of png, jpeg and wav files"

ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS.
I can't thank you enough.

Nascode

@atilim any reason why new version dont encrypt mp3 top?

Rickyngk

Not sure if it happens on older version, but on this version, XCode says "luasocket.a file is universal (2 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice"

In the order hand, it seems something wrong with gdrexport. Application crashes right away it starting, but run wells if I export by using Gideros studio.

Rickyngk

I'd like to report fps issue for new version. In AP, fps is dropped from 30 fps to 12 or lower on iPhone4.
I also attach profiler of 2013.6.3 version. For new version GPU show better performance with 20ms, but CPU is over 100

(My IP4 has been upgraded to iOS7)
===============
IT'S NOT SURE. I'm working on to find-out the root

atilim

@Nascode Because mp3's are decoded by the OS itself. therefore I cannot encrypt them.

atilim

@Rickyngk I've fixed these issues. But currently I don't have any clue about FPS drop. I haven't done any changes to the rendering code.
