Changes
-
Full screen on Android (#118): the game now always fills a phone's display.
- Before, a phone that had run an older version kept the status bar and navigation bar over the game.
- Earlier launchers saved a windowed setting that Android has no switch to change, so updating alone did not fix it.
-
Minimizing no longer closes the game: on D3D12, minimizing the window used to stop the game with "failed to resize the native swap chain". It now waits and carries on when the window comes back.
Everything else is as in v0.8.0. See v0.8.0 for the ultrawide release.
Validation
- Unit tests: CTest passed on Windows (151) and Linux (143). GitHub Actions builds passed on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android.
- AYN Thor:
- The phone still had the old windowed setting saved.
- v0.8.0 showed both bars over the menus; this release's Android 10+ APK fills the display.
- This release's Android 10+ APK prepared all 455 Vulkan pipelines and ran a race without errors at 59.8 fps.
- Windows package: race checks on D3D12, Vulkan, and D3D12 in a 21:9 window. Every pipeline was prepared, no shader was left untranslated and the save was left unchanged. The same build, before packaging, was minimized for 20 seconds mid-race on D3D12 and carried on when restored.
- Linux package: Vulkan start-up smoke test in WSL, all 455 pipelines prepared.
- Android: the APKs keep the existing signing certificate.
