This release pays attention to the GUI, and should be... less blurry on high-DPI screens. That's most of what's actually changed in Liftoff itself. Other than that, the ecosystem is alive!
- The KTX libraries are now maintained by Quillraven, and they've had an update that works with libGDX 1.14.2.
- PixScape Runtime is new here, and if you use PixScape to handle engine-like design of maps and gameplay, this works with that.
- Gradle has been updated to 9.7.1 .
- The gdx-teavm version is now 1.6.2 and it uses the Gradle plugin, which tends to build a little faster and needs quite a bit less configuration (it's just in teavm/build.gradle now, instead of a TeaVMBuilder class).
- Apache Fory has been updated to 1.6.1.
- The Tantrum libraries that make it compatible with things like libGDX are also updated.
- TextraTypist has been updated to 2.4.3 .
- RafaSkoberg's typing-label, the precursor to TextraTypist, has been updated to a fork be compatible with libGDX 1.14.2 .
- jdkgdxds has been updated to 2.1.8, along with its related serialization libraries.
- box2d-lights has been updated to its latest commit using JitPack.io, in the absence of a new release.
- Groovy, Kotlin, and Scala have all had their default versions updated.
- LWJGL3 now defaults to 3.4.3 in new projects, which libGDX will in the next version.
- This can be treated as a preview of libGDX 1.5.0, to make sure all libraries you use are compatible.
In addition to the one PR here by @lrobbens , he also helped fix a GWT superDev bug. Thanks, Laurent!
Good luck with this one! I hope it looks better on any fancy monitors you open it on!
As usual, the cross-platform JAR gdx-liftoff-1.14.2.2.jar is recommended unless you know you need something specific or the cross-platform JAR has antivirus false positives (again). The Windows and Linux native executables are not recommended unless you would have a hard time installing a JDK that can run JARs.
