@tommyettinger tommyettinger released this 13 Jul 03:46

This release updates many third-party libraries, Gradle (to 9.6.1), and the user interface itself for GDX-Liftoff. The interface changes attempt to be sharper on HDPI screens, while maintaining the same general look on non-HDPI screens. The font is new, though; it is DINish, a free (OFL) font that looks pretty close to how the old font looked, but can use FreeType. I didn't actually have a TTF of the original font used, which FreeType needs, nor did I know its name... but DINish looks good to me, and I hope you'll agree!

Other changes include:

  • Fixes for MetalAngle on iOS,
  • Making Java 8 the default language level (so iOS works out of the box, and with another change, TeaVM works with this just fine),
  • Adding iOS projects to the sample projects built with every release, so people can see what the iOS configuration looks like,
  • Switching a few older libraries to now-maintained forks, such as gdx-dialogs and gdx-websockets,
  • And, switching to JitPack.io for many libraries (mostly by tommyettinger ) that are looking for alternatives to Maven Central.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release; it took longer than I thought it would!

As usual, there's gdx-liftoff-1.14.2.1.jar , which is the recommended cross-platform JAR, and several other downloads you could use if that doesn't work for any reason. I hope it works for you!
