miniSphere 4.5.6
minisphere 4.5.6 is a maintenance release in the 4.5.x release series. This release reverts the switch to TypeScript in 4.5.5 as the change unacceptably degraded the Sphere Studio debugging experience. (note: TypeScript support is still planned, but is being postponed for miniSphere 5.0.)
Changes in This Version
- Improves
for...ofiteration forfrom()queries. Only the values will now
be enumerated, rather than key/value pairs. - Reverts to Babel as the default ES6 transpiler pending source map support.
- Fixes a bug where a CommonJS module without a trailing newline and with a
C++-style comment (//) on the last line causesrequire()to throw an
erroneousSyntaxError.
Installing in Windows
Simply download and run minisphereSetup-4.5.6.exe. The Inno Setup install wizard will walk you through the installation process.
Installing in Linux
For Ubuntu (14.04 and later), minisphere is available via personal package archive (PPA):
Installing from a PPA is easy. Simply open Terminal and run the following commands (you only need to do this once, Ubuntu will keep it updated automatically from then on):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fatcerberus/minispheresudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install minisphere
Users of Linux distributions other than Ubuntu will need to build the engine manually from the tarball (minisphere-4.5.6.tar.gz).
