@github-actions github-actions released this 21 Aug 07:07
0.8.6
ef0fd06

This release includes binary installers for Windows (for 32 and 64 bit) .
Please be aware that this installer includes the browser plugins, but they are not installed automatically.
For installing the plugins, see https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/wiki/Getting-Lightspark-up-and-running-in-Web-Browser
The currrent releases of Chrome and Firefox have removed support for the flash plugin completely, so the lightspark plugins will only work on older releases or alternative browsers.
Attention: local storage data files (like savegames) from older versions of lightspark are incompatible with this version and will be ignored.

Changes:

  • implement support for GIF images (single image GIFs only)
  • add commandline parameter (--fullscreen) to start lightspark in fullscreen mode
  • add commandline parameter (--scale ) to start lightspark with a scaled window (useful for 4k screens)
  • embed nanovg for faster rendering of large vector graphics
  • less memory usage
  • partial support for loading AIR extensions by command line parameter
  • improved support for Stage3D
  • remove dependency on gettext (we don't have any strings that need translation anyway)
  • partially implement some Adobe AIR classes in flash.filesystem
  • implement DefineButtonSound tag
  • always enable local storage when running standalone executable
  • local storage files (*.sol) are saved in same format as adobe, so saved data from adobe can be used in lightspark (and vice versa)
    this means that saved data from older versions of lightspark is not compatible with this version!
  • improved support for background workers
  • implement streaming of dynamically created audio samples
  • add environment variable LIGHTSPARK_RANDOM_SEED to seed random number generator with constant value (useful for debugging)
  • implement all filters except ShaderFilter
  • full support for MorphShapes
  • implement wordwrap support for textfields
  • implement sound panning
  • embed pcre implementation from avmplus/tamarin (removes pcre dependency and ensures 100% compatibility with adobe for regular expressions)
