bugfix

• ActionItem now has a virtual deconstructor

features

• powerful Timer class to add keyframe animations

v1.2.5

10/30/2020

bugfix

v1.2.4

10/10/2020

features

• queuePop() and queueRewind() are now just pop() and rewind()
• optimizeForPerformance(true/false) is changed to optimizeForPerformance(const quality& mode)
• quality can be { realtime, reduced, mobile } where each is best-to-worst quality but worst-to-best performance depending on your hardware
• Segues can query the controller's quality set with getRequestedQuality()
• Added much-needed doxygen style documentation throughout the entire project
• New Dream segue effect

bugfix

• views were overwritten by the activity controller after creating new activities causing a brief moment where single-pass screen capturing would capture smaller versions of the screen

v1.2.3b

6/15/2020

bugfix

• CopyWindow now takes into consideration viewport settings so the copied screen fits in the re-rendered surface

v1.2.3

6/9/2020

• If the first activity is a segue, the AC will copy the screen buffer and use it as a "blank" activity for transition effects
• CMake scripts to build the example demo across supported platforms (64-bit)
• All cast warnings resolved
• Renamed namespace intent to namespace types

v1.2.2

5/16/2020

• Added a new controller action replace<> which will replace the current running activity directly in the stack and seamlessly if using segues.
• Added isOptimizedForPerformance() for segues and activities to detect if the app needs to run less graphics-intensive code. This is useful when writing custom segues for mobile devices.
• ActivityController can now be inherited safely (virtual deconstructor). This was an oversight that should have been in since the first release
• Cleaned up some bugs in the demo project

v1.2.1

8/10/2019

• Added a state flag for activities to determine whether they have started once before upon returning. Some activites may be added to the stack and untouched before starting via a queuePop() action. However the old design assumed activities in the stack would simply call onResume()
• Added a flag for checking if the stack has recently been modified (via push) before calling onStart() in the next update check - this prevented users from being able to push multiple scenes onto the stack without calling onStart() for every single scene. Now scenes can be pushed back and onStart() will call when it's truly the scene's first time showing up.
• ActivityController has a pointer to the last activity on the stack before the first push action is completed. This way changing scenes is accurate if the user pushes multiple activities onto the stack.
