0.6.0

This release packs a lot of bug fixes and DevX improvements. It resolves every issue we faced during the GMTK game jam when using Vectarine.

New features

• loadScript is no longer needed, you can just call require to import other Luau scripts!
• The coords API is nicer, you can now write: coord.px(1,2) instead of coord.px(Vec.V2(1,2))
• Reworked the text widget API to make it more natural
• Added a spacer widget to efficiently add space between widgets
• The editor now shows a list of recently opened projects!
• The editor no longer covers the game! No need to use the separate windows mode!
• Added runtime detection for cyclic imports
• Added Open folder in text editor button to open your game project in your editor in one click

Fixes

• Fix crash when loading some mp3
• Fix bug preventing to pause audio resources
• Fixed blurry editor interface on high dpi displays
• Fixed incorrect "anomalously long frame" message being sometimes displayed
• Fixed editor interface being too small on Linux
• Fix coord.px function returning small pixels on high dpi displays
• Fix the luau-api folder not being updated when a project is loaded

Miscellaneous

• The official website is now vectarineengine.com!
• Updated the documentation to use lower-case imports.

We now recommend using:

local io = require("@vectarine/io")

instead of:

local Io = require("@vectarine/io")

As it allows automatic imports using the LSP and is more consistent with other Lua runtimes.

There is now a vectarine subreddit.
Asking questions on the subreddit is preferred over discord as reddit posts can be searched on Google which makes it easier for newcomers to find the answers they need.

Happy game building! ❤️
