• New system for exposing links to e.g. a Discord in the launcher.
  • The engine does not have a built-in method for configuring these, but it does now have a StatusHostHelpers.AddLink method to correctly format these from content. The idea is that content wires the types of links (with icon names) up itself via IStatusHost.OnInfoRequest.
  • See also the HTTP API documentation for reference.
• GameShared now has a Dependencies property to allow access to the game's IDependencyCollection. This makes it possible to avoid using static IoCManager in EntryPoint-type content code.

0.63.0.0

Breaking changes

• Thanks to new IME support with SDL2, IClyde.TextInputStart() and IClyde.TextInputStop() must now be appropriately called to start/stop receiving text input when focusing/unfocusing a UI control. This restriction is applied even on the (default) GLFW backend, to enforce consistent usage of these APIs.
• [GUI]TextEventArgs have been renamed to [GUI]TextEnteredEventArgs, turned into records, and made to carry a string rather than a single text Rune.
• IoC and DependencyCollection Register methods now have a TInterface : class constraint.
• [ABI] IoCManager.InitThread now returns the IDependencyCollection.

• FormattedMessage.EnumerateRunes()
• OSWindow.Shown() virtual function for child classes to hook into.
• IUserInterfaceManager.DeferAction(...) for running UI logic "not right now because that would cause an enumeration exception".
• New TextEdit control for multi-line editable text, complete with word-wrapping!
• Rope data structure for representing large editable text, used by the new TextEdit.
• Robust now has IME support matching SDL2's API. This only works on the SDL2 backend (which is not currently enabled by default) but the API is there:
  • IClyde.TextInputStart(), IClyde.TextInputStop(), IClyde.TextInputSetRect() APIs to control text input behavior.
  • TextEditing events for reporting in-progress IME compositions.
  • LineEdit and TextEdit have functional IME support when the game is running on SDL2. If you provide a font file with the relevant glyphs, CJK text input should now be usable.

• bind command has been made somewhat more clear thanks to a bit of help text and some basic completions.
• BoundKeyEventArgs and derivatives now have a [DebuggerDisplay].
• Text cursors now have a fancy blinking animation.
• SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH is set on the SDL2 windowing backend, so clicking on the game window to focus it will pass clicks through into the game itself, matching GLFW's behavior.
• Windows clipboard history paste now works.
• Improved multi-window UI keyboard focusing system: a single focused control is now tracked per UI root (OS window), and is saved/restored when switching between focused window. This means that you (ideally) only ever have a UI control focused on the current OS window.

Internal

New features

• Added function to UserInterfaceSystem that returns list of BUIs that a client has open.

Bugfixes

• Fixed various container related broadphase bugs which could result in entities getting stuck with a null-broadphase.
• Fixed client fixture state handling bug that caused the client to incorrectly disable collision.

Other

• Misc PVS optimisations

Internal

• Removed redundant grid-init physics logic
• Modified garbage collection for entity spawning profiling.

0.59.0.0

Breaking changes

• Various transform related methods have been removed from MapGrids
• TransformSystem.SetCoordinates() arguments have changed and now allow an entity to be sent to nullspace

Bugfixes

• Fixed an entity lookup bug that sometimes failed to return entities in StaticSundriesTrees

Other

• The EntitySystem.Resolve<> methods have been change to protected

0.58.1.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed some container shutdown errors
• Fixed LookupFlags.Static not acting as a full replacement for LookupFlags.Anchored

0.58.1.0

Other

• Physics collision changed and body type changed events no longer get raised before initialisation

0.58.0.0

Breaking changes

• Some TransformComponent functions have been moved to the system.
• Container insert, remove, and shutdown function arguments and functionality has changed.
• Physics entities without fixtures now automatically disable collision.

New features

• Added command to profile entity spawning

Bugfixes

• EntityLookup/BroadphaseComponent tracking has been overhauled, which should hopefully fix various broadphase bugs.

Other

• Component.Owner is now marked as obsolete.

0.57.0.4

Bugfixes

• Made entity deletion more resilient against exceptions. Should fix several bugs.

0.57.0.2 and 0.57.0.3

Bugfixes

• Fixed more entity-lookup bugs.

0.57.0.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed entity lookup bug that was causing crashes.

0.57.0.0

Breaking changes

• EntityLookupComponent has been merged into BroadphaseComponent. The data that was previously stored in this tree is now stored across the 3 trees on BroadphaseComponent.

New features

• EntityLookup has had its flags updated to reflect the merge of EntityLookupComponent and BroadphaseComponent, with the new flags reflecting each tree: Dynamic, Static, and Sundries. Dynamic and Static store physics bodies that are collidable and Sundries stores everything else (apart from grids).

Internal

• EntityLookup and Broadphase have had their data de-duplicated, dropping the AABBs stored on the server by half. This also means MoveEvent updates will be much faster.
• PVS mover updates has had their performance improved slightly.
• Physics LinkedList nodes for contacts will no longer be re-made for every contact and will just be cleared when re-used.
• Sprite / Light dynamictree allocations on the client have been dropped by using static lambdas.
• The physics contact buffer for each FixtureProxy is now pooled.

0.56.1.1

Bugfixes

• Fix PVS sometimes not sending an entity's parents.
• Fix velocity preservation on parenting changes.

0.56.1.0

New features

• Update pt-BR locale with more localizations
• Separated PVS entity budget into an entity creation budget and a pvs-entry budget.

Bugfixes

• Fix VV type handler removal.
• System errors during component removal should no longer result in undeletable entities.

Other

• The ordering of component removals and shutdowns during entity deltion has changed (see #3355).
• Improved Box2Serializer
• Removed uses IEnumerables from EntityLookupSystem.
• Optimized client entity spawning by 15%.
• Modified how the rendering tree handles entity movement.
• Improved grid enumeration allocs.
• Fixed a bunch of build warnings (see #3329 and #3289 for details)

0.56.0.2

Bugfixes

• Rename _lib.ftl to _engine_lib.ftl to avoid overwriting

0.56.0.1

Bugfixes

• Fix instantiation of data records containing value types

0.56.0.0

Breaking changes

• CastShadows moved to SharedPointLightComponent from clientside, now networked

New features

• New type handler helpers added to V^3
• Added pt-BR locale

Bugfixes

• Fixed audio fallback coords

Other

• Improved PVS performance by using for over forEach
• Improved Vec2 inverse allocations

0.55.5.0

New features

• Added a method to pass in physics transforms for getting nearest point.

Bugfixes

• Prevent singular sprite matrices.
• Fix obsolete warnings in tests.

Other

• Significantly reduce physics contact allocations.

0.55.4.1

Breaking changes

• Removed SI, SIoC, I, IoC, SE and CE VV command prefixes.
  • SI, SIoC, I and IoC are replaced by VV paths under /ioc/ and /c/ioc/.
  • SE and CE are replaced by VV paths under /system/ and /c/system.

New features

• Added CVars to control Lidgren's MTU parameters:
  • net.mtu
  • net.mtu_expand
  • net.mtu_expand_frequency
  • net.mtu_expand_fail_attempts
• Added a whole load of features to ViewVariables.
  • Added VV Paths, which allow you to refer to an object by a path, e.g. /entity/1234/Transform/WorldPosition
  • Added VV Domains, which allow you to add "handlers" for the top-most VV Path segment, e.g. /entity is a domain and so is /player...
  • Added VV Type Handlers, which allow you to add "custom paths" under specific types, even dynamically!
  • Added VV Path networking, which allows you to read/write/invoke paths remotely, both from server to client and from client to server.
  • Added vvread, vvwrite and vvinvoke commands, which allow you to read, write and invoke VV paths.
  • Added autocompletion to all VV commands.
  • Please note that the VV GUI still remains the same. It will be updated to use these new features in the future.

Other

• Changed Lidgren to be compiled against net6.0. This unlocks Half read/write methods.
• Lidgren has been updated to 0.2.2. Not all the changes since 0.1.0 are new here, since this is the first version where we're properly tracking this in release notes.
• Robust.Client now uses our own NFluidsynth nuget package.

Internal
