v1.7.7 | Universal

What's New

🎧swift on.

• Add support for Microsoft Windows, to join macOS, and Linux in the lineup.
• Fixed TBB's proper headers, to be our own custom improper include paths, because if a valid TBB installation is dare picked up by the Linux stdlib (#if has_include(<tbb/blocked_range.h>)), it will completely destroy the std library on Linux.
  • Which also means if a user dares to install tbb on their Linux system, it will break their entire std library on Linux, so you must ensure you do not have TBB installed on your system via (pending this PR to Swift to fix this):

    sudo apt remove libtbb-dev

Usage

Add MetaverseKit as a package dependency to your own Swift project's Package.swift file:

// swift-tools-version: 5.10

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/wabiverse/MetaverseKit", from: "1.7.7")
]

Linux

For Linux, these are the only dependencies required, as MetaverseKit provides everything else.

Tip

If you are on a distro like Ubuntu there is a good chance you already have most of these installed.

Important

If you have installed TBB on your Linux system, it will break the entire std library on Linux, so you must ensure you do not have TBB installed on your system via (ex. sudo apt remove libtbb-dev), (pending this PR to Swift to fix this).

v1.7.2 | OpenSubdiv

What's New

🎧 swift on.

• Add OpenSubdiv GPU Shaders.
• Fix Linux cross-platform compatibility.
  • Adjusted package configuration to link against python 3.10 instead of prior releases which used to link against python 3.11, the intention is to provide simplicity to existing Linux users, if some other version is preferred, please file an issue to have it changed.
  • Targeting x86/64 now works and no longer causes build failures. 🎉🎉🎉
  • Targeting aarch64 should now also work, in addition to x86/64 on CentOS.

Changelog

• We now conditionally apply sse2neon based on the chipset arch (ex. arm64, x86/64) you're building on.
• OpenColorIO needed to have target feature attributes added across all of its AVX and AVX2 functions.
• OCIOBundle was attempting to use setenv() (which overrides the OCIO env var with our provided configs), which apparently doesn't exist on Linux or uses some other function, opted to remove it for Linux since its assumed users on that platform likely already have OCIO configured to their preferences.
• TBB needed to have target feature attributes added for a single function prolonged_pause() which uses WAITPKG.
• HDF5 had a lowercased hdf5.h which Swift didn't see as an umbrella header on Linux because the target is uppercased, so Swift was attempting to (rather horribly incorrectly) generate one, renamed the file to HDF5.h and all was happy.
