Full Changelog: v0.19.2...v0.19.3

Nostalgia v0.19.2 - Alpha 19

In ThingFactory, replace calls to Tree::get_ancestors with a static map, as Tree is too slow when getting ancestors.

Nostalgia v0.19.0 - Alpha 19

Major Changes

• Tree
  • Replace most of CallSheet's functionality and remove CallSheet entirely
  • Add 'Nostalgia/core/tree.hpp' to the pre-compiled header
  • Implement support for ID and PID via class templates
  • Implement mutex locking
  • Replace std::set returns with std::unordered_set to enable sorting the set by order of inheritance
• ThingFactory
  • Redesign ThingFactory to use Tree for storing type information
  • Convert back to a namespace
• ThingType
  • Remove the source file and convert back to a namespace

GitHub PRs

• Indev/v0.19.0/trees and types by @Electron7-7 in #98

Full Changelog: v0.18.6...v0.19.0

Nostalgia v0.18.5 - Alpha 18

Fixes

• Actually add new icons to 'EmbedAssets.cmake'
• WindowGLFW::Shutdown now calls RendererAPI::DeactivateInstance() instead of RendererAPI::Get()->Shutdown()
• Improved editor layout, and functionality

Full Changelog: v0.18.4...v0.18.5

Nostalgia v0.18.4 - Alpha 18

Fixes

• Suppress LeakSanitizer as it tends to report a large amount of memory leaks that are likely caused by libGL.so or X11/Wayland drivers allocating memory for global variables and not freeing them manually. In other words: benign errors that aren't my fault.
• Update the 'Screenshots' Theatre file to match the current syntax

Minor Changes

• Improvements to the editor layout
• Improvements to the editor icons
• Add option for testing new icons while they're being added

Full Changelog: v0.18.3...v0.18.4

Nostalgia v0.18.3 - Alpha 18

Fixes

• Sprite2D/Sprite3D
  • Don't override texture variables with empty paths
• Camera3D
  • 'UseDefaultSkybox' is now correctly used

Full Changelog: v0.18.2...v0.18.3

Nostalgia v0.18.2 - Alpha 18

Fixes

• OpenGLTextureBuffer
  • Passing nullptr to glTextureSubImage- functions will cause a SEGFAULT on certain Nvidia driver versions (in my case it was 'nvidia-580xx')

Minor Changes

• New debugger options for enabling/disabling different OpenGL debug messages based on the message type

Full Changelog: v0.18.1...v0.18.2

Nostalgia v0.18.1 - Alpha 18

Engine Changes

• Renamed the embedded ImageTexture resources to end with '-Texture' instead of '-Image'
  • e.g. DoomTexture, MissingTexture, etc

Editor Changes

• Changed the default position of the frame profiler
• Combined inspector windows into one inspector window
• Changed editor layout

Full Changelog: v0.18.0...v0.18.1

Nostalgia v0.18.0 - Alpha 18

Major Changes

• Console
  • Implement functions for interacting with console history
  • Implement functions for getting all currently known variables/commands
  • Improved the console command callback system
  • Redesign Console and Console::Variable to be faster and easier to use
• Event/EventManager
  • Change implementation to be easier to interface with and to allow for better integration
  • Integrate all types of events into Manager and the ui system
  • Improve the EventManager
    • Use mutexes, damnit!
• RendererAPI
  • Implemented better instancing for RendererAPI implementations
    • Instances are now activated or deactivated separately from their initialization
    • A default DummyRendererAPI is used as the default "inactive" instance
      • This helps avoid nullptr exceptions and the like
• DummyTextureBuffer/DummyRenderBuffer/DummyVertexBuffer/DummyIndexBuffer/DummyGraphicsContext/DummyShader/DummyVertexArray
  • These "dummy" implementations are used when DummyRendererAPI is active, to avoid nullptr exceptions and similar problems
  • They can also be used intentionally (via each class' ::CreateDummy function) to avoid allocating unnecessary memory (e.g. via the glCreate- calls in many of the OpenGL implementations' constructors)
• TextureBuffer
  • Prune some values from TextureType
  • Implement a function for getting the sampler's state
  • Redesign TextureFormat and implement TextureDataFormat, which will be used when setting buffer data as opposed to constructing a new buffer
  • OpenGLTextureBuffer
    • Implement better use of gl4 DSA functions and RAII concepts
    • Remove SamplerState variable
      • Sampler state will be set by things like the material or sprite
• SamplerState
  • Implement functions for interfacing with TheatreFile::ThingData
• ResourceManager/UID
  • Change Image resources to TextureImage
  • Remove unused resources
  • Move editor-related resources to EditorTheatre
  • Consolidate all engine enum registration to ResourceManager
• EnumRegistry
  • Implement functions for searching enums via name or enum value
  • Implement a debug logger

Minor Changes

• Modified the signature for IBuffer::GetLayout
• Remove GraphicsContext::SwapBuffers
• Remove VertexArray::GetVertexBuffers
• Implement setting the texture variable in Sprite2D and Sprite3D with a path to a texture file directly
• Implement a boolean value in TheatreFile::ThingVariable for hiding certain variables from the editor
• Add functions for detecting what type of number a string is in number_parser.hpp
  • Also add a function for creating a lowercase version of a string
