  • ⚠️ Structures provied by ParticleStruct header now have a float life. (472d964)
  • Fixed scale property of Nz::TextSprite not affecting its bounding volume. (52b29ba)
  • ⚠️ Nz:MeshParams::flipUVs has been replaced by texCoordOffset and texCoordScale. (a1a7d90)
  • Fixed Nz::Music::Stop which was not resetting the playing offset. (12d7bc9, 24be974)
  • Reworked LuaBinding classes to try to improve compile time and generated objects memory. (5555d24).

  • Added basic widgets. (c8a1208)
  • VelocitySystem will no longer affect entities with PhysicsComponent2D. (a685323)
  • Fixed EulerAngles constructor in Lua. (d55149a)
  • Fixed Component::OnDetached not being called on entity destruction. (5b777eb)

Known issues:

  • RUDPConnection is still very experimental and may fail to handle packet loss, do not use. (#74)

Note for MinGW users:

Multiples versions of MinGW exists, I recommand you to use the Mingw-w64 version, as they are more advanced and use a faster exception handling mode.
Compiled versions are only provided for the following toolchains

MinGW-6.3.0-x86-DW2
MinGW-6.3.0-x64-SEH

Please note that TDM-GCC versions are no longer provided because of their lack of compatibility with some options, and lack of necessity.

Here are the Visual Studio 2015 (msvc14), MinGW and Linux binaries.

As always, the online documentation got updated.
