0.8.0

Changes

Version 0.8.0

FiniteRender

• Added VkResultToString function for pure C string conversions of VKResult
• Added the FiniteRenderLinearAllocator for safer memory handling in larger scale projects
• Removed validation layer requirements from finite_render_init

FiniteDraw

• Added finite_draw_set_pattern_dithering to address issues with color banding on some devices.
• Added finite_draw_cached_png to improve performance for drawing images. finite_draw_png also can now return a cached surface through it's cache param.
• Added finite_draw_set_wrapped_text
• Added finite_draw_hex_to_color_group_alpha to allow alpha images.
• Fixed finite_button_create so it will now always return the focus event for the first button
• Updated finite_draw_png to make it so it can use custom error colors
• Fixed an issue where finite_draw_rouned_rect didn't fill gradients.
• Fixed an issue in finite_draw_linear_gradient that threw out alpha values when they were full transparent.

FiniteInput

• Added finite_gamepad_key_get_hold_time to allow devs to read how long a key has been held
• Added finite_input_keyboard_rescan to allow keyboard rescans
• Rewrote the entire controller runtime to address the security issues brought up in #12
• Temporarily removed the controller connect popup for reworks

FiniteUser

• Added finite_user Function Family to allow Infinite developers to get information about who is actively using the console.

Mailroom

• Added the mailroom middleman client that emulates specific console behaviors on non-console systems. It must run as root. See the the README.md for additional notes on usage and installation.

Examples

• Improved all examples to be up to date with the common libfinite practices.
• Added an example on how to use the auth API

Extra

• Added the FiniteJSON utilities
• Fixed an issue where the protocol required a dependency that wasn't shipped with libfinite

Merges

• Fix typo in finite_input_textbox_set_callbacks macro by @nexocreamery in #5
• Refactor debug macros to include file, func, line by @nexocreamery in #6
• Fix macro definitions in cairo.h by @nexocreamery in #7
• Revise security policy and reporting instructions by @nexocreamery in #8
• Add contribution guidelines to CONTRIBUTING.md by @nexocreamery in #10
• Add Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct by @nexocreamery in #11

New Contributors

• @nexocreamery made their first contribution in #5

Full Changelog: v0.7.2...v0.8.0

v0.7.2

Version 0.7.2

FiniteShell

• Added a wl_seat(shell.seat) and zwp_virtual_keyboard_manager_v1(shell.virtual_manager) struct to FiniteShell. This types are automatically defined by the compositor if they're supported

FiniteInput

• Added the finite_input_textbox API
• finite_input_keyboard_init no longer exits if no keyboard is available.
• Added finite_input_keyboard_rescan to allow devs to rescan the wl_seat
• Added the new FiniteTextbox for input handling
• Added finite_key_is_alpha
• Downgraded finite_gamepad_poll_buttons_async's log level from LOG_LEVEL_INFO to LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
• Fixed an issue in finite_gamepad_poll_buttons_async where releasing the Down button or Up button the dpad caused the library to report that up was pressed
• Added FINITE_KEY_QOUTE as a secondary reference to FINITE_KEY_APOSTROPHE for clarity

FiniteLog

• Fatal errors now close the File descriptor if its not stdout or stderr

FiniteDraw

• Added the finite_hex_to_color_group function to support hexadecimals values for colors
• Fixed an OOB issue with some finite-buttons

FiniteAudio

• Fixed a small type conversion issue in finite_audio_get_audio_duration

Notes

Starting in v0.7.2, developers no longer need to include the protocol headers into their projects.

The version B patch adds a fix to the readme.

0.7.0

Version 0.7.0

FiniteInput

• Added the FiniteGamepad input family.
• Added FiniteDevice and FiniteDevices for udev-less device polling.
• Moved finite_button_handle_poll to FiniteDraw instead of being FiniteInput.

FiniteDraw

• finite_draw_finish now calls wl_display_flush after committing to garentee redraw.
• Fixed finite_draw_finish not using the stride and withAlpha arguments.
• finite_draw_cleanup now reports the program closing on LOG_LEVEL_INFO instead of LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
• Added finite_overlay_set_margin
• Updated finite_draw_png to support dyanmic scaling and image error handling
• Fixed finite_draw_cleanup throwing segfaults when using a shared memory buffer from finite_shm_aloc

FiniteRender

• finite_render_get_memory_format_debug now returns 0 on failure to silence errors.

FiniteAudio

• finite_audio_stop now reports dev.isPlaying is true.
• finite_audio_play now checks dev.isPlayer is true before continuing.

Examples

New Controller Demo

Notes

Developers should never use shell.gamepads[i] at any time as shell.gamepads is not reliably static.

v0.6.0

please note that this is a pre-release and features may be missing.
