An optimized loader.js that pre-screens repeat resources to avoid trying to load them twice.

v4.5.0

Latest devkit-core as of 3/22/2016

• device
  • support manually setting devicePixelRation through device.setDevicePixelRatio
  • get default devicePixelRatio through device.screen.defaultDevicePixelRatio
  • all user agent flags in device.js now deprecated. Use userAgent.js
• performance
  • new performance class to track frame rate and give global performance score via performance.getPerformanceScore
  • support automatic devicePixelRatio scaling based on performance score
• userAgent
  • new userAgent class provides platform information
• DPRScaleView
  • new DPRScaleView class that listens for DPR changes and scales itself accordingly
• bug fixes
  • iOS respects disableIOSLandscapeScroll flag when resizing
  • Screen no longer flickers to black when activating filter for the first time in WebGL mode
• deprecations
  • ui.GestureView has been officially deprecated

v4.4.0

Latest devkit-core as of 3/1/16

If you are seeing scaling issues in your simulator, please update to the latest devkit tag v3.1.3 or greater.

• timestep.animate
  • pool Frame classes to minimize memory allocation and garbage collection in animation heavy applications
  • provided API for initializing Frame class pools
  • removed onTick parameter from .then( and .now(
    • these were not support on native platforms and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect in a fully supported way; i.e. myView.tick = function (dt) { ...
• timestep.ui.effectsEngine
  • minor optimizations
  • provided API for initializing class pools
• WebGL renderer
  • bug fixes
  • enable in your manifest.json using:

    "browser": {
      "canvas": {
        "useWebGL": true
      }
    },

v4.2.0

• Allows preloading sounds by directory as opposed to individual file name in browser builds
• Timestep updates
  • tabs converted to spaces
  • Image (both HTML5 and the devkit class) caching is no longer duplicated across classes
  • ScrollView no longer bounces in a direction it cannot scroll
  • when View's style.centerAnchor is true, anchorX and anchorY are updated accordingly on width and height update
  • remove key listener from focus manager (was consuming all key presses when added to a website)
  • enable scrolling on landscape web builds in iOS >= 7, can also be disabled via config
  • other misc. bug fixes and clean up
• Native updates
  • native-android and native-core support critical memory flag reset in texture manager

v4.1.0 - effectsEngine

The ultimate devkit particle engine! (It's new, and does not replace the original ParticleEngine)

• leverages deltas (pixels per second) and target values with easing (timestep animate)
  • animate is applied to views directly to take advantage of native-core acceleration
• all properties can be parameterized with distribution over particle index, time, both index and time, or just randomly
  • properties can use the same parameter to "entangle" their behavior
  • parameter distribution can also be modified by easing functions
• supports a JSON data format
• separate data validation and emission; skipDataValidation: true for best performance
• pooled classes for minimal garbage collection
• singleton engine keeps it simple
• pause, resume, and clear all effects or individual effects by ID
• live particle editor, coming soon!

Other changes include:

• WebGL optimizations
• orientation splash in web builds blocks game initialization until proper orientation is achieved
• configurable sprite groups for optimized builds
• latest native android, fixes a thread leak

v4.0.5

• Android Texture Manager
  • more robust against low memory on older devices
  • half sizes textures at screen resolutions <= 480 pixels (used to be 320)
• SpriteView hasAnimation function

v4.0.3

Fixes ios builds on node.js >= v4.0.0 (updated native-ios's xcode dependency: alunny/node-xcode#61)

v4.0.2

changes:

• fixes spriter bug with fully transparent images
• fixes browser splash screens
• fixes native-archive zip files missing directory entries
• adds open-graph support

Fixes AudioManager music bug

Music no longer plays twice when using the simulator's mute button
