miniSphere 4.7.1 is a maintenance release in the 4.7 release series. This release fixes a few bugs, including a long-standing debugger lockout bug.

Changes in This Version

  • Fixes a long-standing bug where getting caught in an infinite loop prevents
    the engine from responding to debugger commands.
  • Fixes a bug where delays, including those from normal frame rate limiting,
    cause actively playing SoundStreams to starve, leading to stuttering.
  • Fixes a bug where reading Shape#texture from a shape with no assigned
    texture is not handled properly and may cause the engine to crash.

Installing in Windows

Simply download and run miniSphereSetup-4.7.1.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) (latest version only guaranteed on current Ubuntu release):

Installing from a PPA is easy. Simply open Terminal and run the following commands:

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fatcerberus/minisphere
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install minisphere

You only need to do this once. The system will automatically notify you of future miniSphere updates.

Note: Users of other Linux distributions, or those using older versions of Ubuntu, can build the engine manually from the tarball (minisphere-4.7.0.tar.gz).
