• Core: The string returned by Version::getVersion() now follows the Java version format (M.m.r+B or M.m.r-snapshot+B).
• Core: Added Configuration.DEBUG_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR_FAST, a dynamic option that dramatically reduces the performance overhead of memory leak detection.
• Core: Reduced the performance overhead of Configuration.DEBUG_STACK.
• docs: The LWJGL javadoc is now generated with JDK 19 (up from JDK 10) for improved search functionality.
• The .sha1 and .git files, used for validating LWJGL artifacts, are now stored under the META-INF folder.

  • Reminder: glfwUpdateGamepadMappings can be used to update the mappings at runtime.
• Nuklear: NK_BUTTON_TRIGGER_ON_RELEASE is now also defined on Linux & macOS, not only Windows, for consistency.
• OpenXR: Added extension class javadoc.
  • Currently, only the overview section is included.
  • Also added a link that opens the OpenXR specification at the corresponding section for the extension.
• Remotery: Made it easier to get started with Remotery profiling: (#784)
  • Users can now identify the commit used to build the Remotery bindings in the Remotery class javadoc.
  • A script that quickly clones the Remotery repository at that commit is also included.
    The viewer application at vis/index.html is guaranteed to be compatible with the LWJGL bindings.
  • Ported two simple Remotery samples (modules/samples/src/test/java/org/lwjgl/demo/util/remotery/).

Fixes

Breaking Changes

• Core: Introduced additional mangling of org.lwjgl.system.JNI method names for 8/16-bit integer parameters. (#858) (S)
• NanoVG: The freeData parameters of nvgCreateFontMem* functions are now mapped to Java boolean. (S)
• NativeFileDialog: Now uses the btzy/nativefiledialog-extended API. (S)
• Nuklear: Renamed NkConvertConfig::null_texture to tex_null to match the change in the native API. (S)

(B): binary incompatible change
(S): source incompatible change
