Gideros 2017.10 released

hgy29

Dear all,

After weeks of testing and bug fixing, Gideros 2017.10 is finally out.
As always you can download it here: http://giderosmobile.com/download

This new version brings two important additions.
The first one is that TextField can now display multiline text all by itself, and handle automatic wrap of long lines, centering, justifying, line breaks and even tabs.
The second big addition is a ogg plugin, which adds support for ogg vorbis encoded sounds to gideros, but also playback of theora encoded videos!

Complete list of changes below:

New features

[core] Add text layout with automatic wrap support to Font/TextField
[plugin/ogg] Ogg vorbis and Theora plugin (all platforms except WinRT)

Enhancements

[lua] Support require with directory only (and load init.lua)
[plugin/win32] Add export rules for most win32 plugins
[plugin/controller] Update controller for iOS
[ios] Add 1024x1024 icon
[ios] Enable portrait upside down by default
[ios] accept all device orientations
[win32] Add multiscreen support
[html5] add focus on click (#333)
[core] Allow non power of 2 textures
[studio/export] Allow for LUA based plugins
[texturepacker] Warn about problematic files and export sensible file list (Fix #340)

Fixes

[plugin/camera] Fix orientation issues (#329)
[android] Fix crash on log
[win32] fix setFullScreen (#281)
[html5] register embind bindings only once in plugins
[core] Release textures in Pixel's destructor

Yan

TextField - finally !!!

What about Pixel holding textures problem ?

Fixed, see last line of 'Fixes' in the annoucement

amazing, thanks for fixing two important problems with win32 export. maybe some of the enhancements could be explained in more detail, like
[lua] Support require with directory only (and load init.lua)
and
[studio/export] Allow for LUA based plugins
.

keszegh

on the download page http://giderosmobile.com/download many older releases are not listed.

[lua] Support require with directory only (and load init.lua)

it means you can now write

require "stuff"

and lua will try to load stuff/init.lua in addition to stuff.lua.
This is a standard way of doing in lua, but gideros was lacking it.

[studio/export] Allow for LUA based plugins

This a way of providing lua only plugins (non native) or mixed lua+native plugins. Plugins folders just need to contain a 'luaplugin' subfolder, and all lua files within this folder will be added automatically to the project if the plugin itself is added to the project, so that your project can 'require' them.

keszegh

http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/Application/getDeviceInfo#Application:getDeviceInfo should be corrected to say that for win32 export it gives "Win32".

Perfect additions again. Really appreciated and in addition of my gratitude i made a donation for the efforts.

hgy29

Thanks very much @talis!

Yan

Fixed, see last line of 'Fixes' in the annoucement

Eyemissed, sorry

antix

Awesome! Super fantastic work on TextField enhancements B-)

talis

Any information how to use new Textfield properties? I couldn't find it on Reference Manual.

hgy29

@talis, sorry the online was not correctly synchronized, I fixed it now.
Here is an example of multiline text formatting:

local myText=[[ Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. ]]   local textfield=TextField.new(nil,myText, { w=application:getContentWidth(),h=application:getContentHeight(), flags=FontBase.TLF_JUSTIFIED|FontBase.TLF_VCENTER}) stage:addChild(textfield)

talis

Thanks @hgy29. I will try it directly.

If you are wondering how to use new theora video decoder in your apps, here's how:

Theora=require "Theora"   local videoSource=Theora.new("video.ogg") local videoStream=videoSource:play()   local videoSprite=videoStream:getVideo() stage:addChild(videoSprite)

Yan

Next code attempts to instant close Player on Android Device, Player.apk tooked from gideros folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gideros12\Players\GiderosAndroidPlayer.apk

for i = 1, 20 do TTFont.new("app/fonts/HURRYUP.TTF", 50, false, true) end

Tried another font already, same issue
Also tried on default example project TTFont, with examle inbuild font, same issue

hgy29

Can you share android logcat for this issue ?

Yan

Can you share android logcat for this issue ?

If you tell me how to implement this. Tried couple of times, dont get how to achieve this on device. If you want I can attach a test project.

hgy29

I'll try here too, but you can get android crash trace using Android Studio and looking at monitor pane. It will contain a crash report of some kind, amond other things. You'll have to be quick though, because android devices are very verbose!

Damn, removed Android Studio many times ago. Maybe you have some links on manuals how to achieve log on device ?

I've never heard of an on-device tool for this. I'll try to reproduce here first then, but I need to wait for my android tablet to be sufficiently charged:) I am an iOS guy!

Well, were on opposide sides )))

P.S. Checked my start button, and i didnt removed AndroidStudio )) So now how to log my activity ?

SinisterSoft

@Yan I tried :

font=TTFont.new(fonts,66,chrs,3)

with chrs = a string, nil and ""
fonts={"retro.ttf","cyrillic.ttf","japanese.ttf"}

all work

Yan

@Yan I tried :

font=TTFont.new(fonts,66,chrs,3)

with chrs = a string, nil and ""
fonts={"retro.ttf","cyrillic.ttf","japanese.ttf"}

all work

Should be in loop, especially loop should be more than 20 iterations

Try my code as is

hgy29

Tried your code, no crash here

Yan

Video from device, Player just closes after I run this code. In the end of video workind fading stars demonstaration.

Falls only on Device player.

P.S. Checked my start button, and i didnt removed AndroidStudio )) So now how to log my activity ?

1. Open Android Studio
2. Open any existing project or create a new one
3. Open '6: Android Monitor' from the tool bar at the bottom of the window
4. Connect your phone/tablet to your PC over USB (if not already done)
5. Reproduce the crash
6. Copy all Android Monitor Content to clipboard and paste it in another editor (to avoid logs scrolling endlessly)

Yan

Yet another clear log. Is this enough ?

P.S. Added another log with no message filter

hgy29

Yeah, very verbose, but it was useful trash
However I see:
10-23 17:26:08.464 447-447/? E/lowmemorykiller: Error writing /proc/16745/oom_score_adj; errno=22
I suspect your device is running about of memory while running gideros.
Please send me the full log in PM as a zip, I'll have a deeper look.

Yan

Ask this later, deleted post
