Changes from 0.3.0:

C++ Changes:

  • Amended the file-related functions:
    • Read/write to files is now fully working.
    • Search functions for fonts and backgrounds have been condensed into SearchForResourcePath, which will look in the global/project resources folders.
  • Overhauled the folder structure, to put certain files in more appropriate locations.
  • Amended the inconsistent spelling in files (e.g. color to colour).
  • Fixed an issue with the Object data size not updating after being down-sized.
  • Added the option to set the size of tabs (i.e. \t).
  • Moved the core shaders into the codebase.
  • Removed the unused fullscreen command-line flag, and set the project flag as the default parameter. Calling the program now looks like ./TermEngine [lua_project] instead of ./TermEngine --project [lua_project].
  • Added the lua/vendor folder to the Lua package path.

Lua Changes:

  • Read/write to files is now supported. The io library is disabled, in favor of using the C++ code to lock down where projects can read from/write to.
  • Added support for vON serialisation, using vercas' vON library.
  • Added support for JSON serialisation, using grafi-tt's Lunajson library.
  • TextObject's now support:
    • Newlines and tabs
    • Rendering the background of the object as a box, or fitted to the text only.
  • Object's can now be released, removing them from the window and object list.
  • GLM's ivec3, ivec4 and vec4 types are now supported.
  • Updated the tutorial code:
    • Separated tutorial 02 into the text manipulation and colour manipulation.
    • Moved tutorial 07c into 07a, and added file manipulation as tutorial 07d.
    • Added serialisation as tutorial 09.

Other Changes:

  • Updated the copy-files-to-build.sh and clean-build-files.sh scripts.
  • Added license files for the vON and Lunajson libraries.
  • Removed license file for SDL_image.

Comes with several example projects, and the Roboto Mono & Space Mono font.
