[Ketschak]

The new Murl Engine Build 1.00.2828Beta is available.

API Changes:

• Added various config items to IPlatformConfiguration
  
• Changed IWebControl::CreateUrlRequest() to not take an URL string. The URL string has to be specified later with the actual URL request object returned.
  
• Cleaned up IUrlRequest interface: Changed IUrlRequest::Post to SendGet() to do a real HTTP GET, added SendPost() for HTTP POST, added GetCurrentDataSize() to check how many bytes have been transmitted so far.
  
• Interface cleanup of Graph::IDrawable and Graph::IGenericGeometry
  
• Updated internal .murl/.murlpkg file revisions to 1.00 Note: Re-run tools in order to update internal revisions of your files!
  

New Features:

• Added optional Facebook add-on for iOS and Android
  
• Added Logic::ITimeframe::HasPassedTime() method
  
• Added Graph::ISound::SetBufferType() method for explicitly choosing a sound instance's buffer type (streaming or static)
  
• Added "renderBorder" and "repeatBorder" attributes for atlas_generator config files
  
• Added Resource::IFactory::CreateObjectFromFile() and related methods for runtime-creation of resource objects, together with Logic::IState::GetResourceFactory() to actually access the resource factory for doing so
  
• Added ILoader::QueryPackage() and IPackage::Query() methods for retrieving information about a registered resource package, plus related methods in Resource::IPackage, Resource::IPackageFactory and Resource::ICollection
  
• Added Resource::IArchive resource type
  
• Added Util::Compress() and Util::Uncompress() functions, for comressing and uncompressing custom data using ZLib
  
• Added Graph::IAligner::GetBoundingVolume() to retrieve current bounding volume in OnFinishTick()
  
• Added IPackage::HasFailedLoading() and IPackage::HasFailedUnloading() methods
  
• Introduced the "outputTextureId" attribute in Graph::TextGeometry and Graph::FlatTextTexture to allow for layered text rendering to a single texture
  
• Introduced "offsetX" and "offsetY" attributes in Graph::TextGeometry to specify an X and Y offset for rendering
  

Improvements:

• Optimized surface blurring
  
• Changed the OpenAL library to build as a shared lib on Android
  
• Improved Android platform code & tool chain to allow for registering custom JNI classes and controls
  
• Updated Android In-App Billing to Google V3 implementation
  
• Improved handling of custom controls
  
• Introduced a mechanism for certain Android devices (e.g. Galaxy S4) trying to prevent automatic CPU throttling by the OS
  
• Added optional file category for ILoader::AddPackage()
  
• Improved embolding of outline fonts
  
• Renamed "Dx9" namespace to "Dx90"
  

Fixes:

• Fixed minor memory leaks
  
• Fixed a bug in Graph::BoxCuller
  
• Fixed a bug in the openal_soft library which caused noticeable noise when sending the app to background
  
• Added a workaround on Android for explicitly setting the target frame rate with IAppConfiguration::SetDisplayRefreshFrequency()
  
• Fixed a bug in Graph::TextGeometry resulting in too large output with a prescale factor of > 1
  
• Fixed a bug regarding custom file/folder access in Android
  
• Updated resource_packer to print a better response when output file(s) were specified in an incorrect way
  
• Fixed E-Mail handling
  
• Fixed a bug regarding incorrect word wrapping of outline fonts
  
• Fixed a bug regarding automatic text fitting with non-zero borders
  
• Fixed a bug in Graph::TextGeometry preventing correct alignment in conjunction with Graph::Aligner
  
• Fixed Graph::Aligner to not apply spacing between elements for inactive children
  
• Fixed a nasty race condition in Graph::Node::Init()
  
• Fixed a bug regarding touch input handling for orthographic cameras
  
• Fixed a bug in font_converter resulting in a crash when parsing certain true type fonts
  

Have fun coding!
