Nostalgia v0.9.0 - Alpha 9

Major Changes

• Thing
  • Created more macros for overwriting virtual functions
  • Replaced the function Thing::type with a new static function Thing::Type
    • Created a new macro for overwriting Thing::Type
    • Each new Thing-derived class must overwrite Thing::Type to return their type as a PID
• Image, Texture, ImageTexture, and Cubemap
  • Image replaces ImageHandler and is used to load image files/data into a format that can be used/buffered by a valid texture-related class
  • Texture has had its FileData pointer variable removed and now only represents an abstraction of TextureBuffer
  • ImageTexture is the replacement for the old Texture class; it takes image data, buffers it, and releases it
    • This means it is much less size complex than before, where it used to store the entire image file's data throughout its entire lifetime
  • Cubemap is the updated version of CubemapTexture and is effectively just ImageTexture, but designed around maintaining six separate layers of image data
  • All of these classes are heavily based off of their Godot counterparts

Minor Changes

• Nostalgia.hpp
  • Removed some files from the pre-compiled header; specifically, files relating to Thing, Theatre, and TheatreFile
• FileData
  • Redesigned the mData variable to be std::vector<uchar> instead of uchar*
  • Better setter/getter functions
    • Including ones for accessing the raw data, via calling std::vector::data on mData
  • Remove FileType parameter from LoadFile and the filepath constructor
  • Renamed all functions
    • Following more closely to the STL (e.g: std::vector::data, std::vector::size, etc)
• Theatre
  • Improved the setup process in Theatre::Startup
• ThingData
  • Added new set_variable and get_variable functions for Thinker and Resource pointers

Full Changelog: v0.8.0...v0.9.0

Nostalgia v0.8.0 - Alpha 8

Major Changes

• Implemented matrix-calculation functions in Transform3D
• Redesigned global transformation calculation in Actor3D
  • This also fixed an issue where a parent's scale wasn't affecting its children's positions

Minor Changes

• In Theatre::Draw3DThinkers, use Actor3D::GlobalTransform and Transform3D::model_matrix instead of calculating it manually

Full Changelog: v0.7.0...v0.8.0

Nostalgia v0.7.0 - Alpha 7

Major Changes

• Major overhaul of Resource, UID, VariableRegistry, and anything relating to Resource and Thing creation
• Implementation of ResourceDatabase for creating/registering global Resource pointers
• Improvements to Theatre involving setup, Thinker ownership, and Thing name changes
• Globalization of Theatre, including a Theatre::Current function for getting the current Theatre
• Implemented a new constructor for Thing as well as a new SUPER macro that creates the Super keyword

Minor Changes

• Resource and its derived classes are starting to resemble what I want them to become in a future update (most likely v0.8)
  • They'll more closely resemble Godot's own Resource class, mostly in how they won't need to be registered with the Theatre when being created (e.g: a future Image class should be able to be used directly via Shared<Image> as a replacement for FileData in Texture)
• Improvements to FileData::Load and the underlying FileData::mData variable

Full Changelog: v0.6.0...v0.7.0

Nostalgia v0.6.0 - Alpha 6

Major Changes

• Changed implementation of reserved UIDs (RUIDs)
  • RUID types are more well-defined and have larger boundaries
  • It's now possible to attempt to either manually or randomly reserve an RUID of any type
  • Querying RUIDs and their types has been improved
• Fixed & expanded RUID-related functionality in VariableRegistry
  • All functions related to "resource data" now utilize the improved RUID functions

Minor Changes

• Fixed a typo in EmbedAssets.cmake
  • Also changed uchar to unsigned char in the generated header files; this lets me reuse EmbedAssets.cmake more easily in other projects
• Added two new Error enums
  • ERR_MAX: used when attempting to increase a number past a set maximum value
  • ERR_MIN: used when attempting to decrease a number past a set minimum value

Full Changelog: v0.5.2...v0.6.0

Nostalgia v0.5.2 - Alpha 5

ColdFix

• This release is a joke release and is no different than v0.5.1
• Hello, takaio.

Nostalgia v0.5.1 - Alpha 5

Quick Fixes

• In engine.cpp, the contact listener now updates both colliders instead of just one
• In collider_3d.cpp, removed extraneous debug print

Nostalgia v0.5.0 - Alpha 5

Major Changes

• Moved physics body creation from PhysicsEngine back into Collider3D
• Changed how collision detection works through Jolt_ContactListener and Jolt_BodyActivationListener
  • Now, when a body is created, its user data must be set to the collider's UID. This is then used by the listeners to find the colliders and call their appropriate functions.
  • However, Jolt_ContactListener::OnContactRemoved doesn't work yet, as it doesn't have direct access to body user data and trying to get it via PhysicsEngine::Inst()->BodyInterface().GetUserData results in errors and crashes due to locking.

Minor Changes

• When building on Windows, the debug postfix is correctly shown, configurable, and used.
• uint64 is now defined in types.hpp.
• PhysicsEngine::Inst has been removed for simplicity and clarity.
• Added Collider3D.debug_collision_persisted_msgs to the debug console's list of variables.

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

Nostalgia v0.4.0 - Alpha 4

Major Changes

• Sprite3D
  • A sprite in 3D space
• OpenGLFrameBuffer
  • Fixed the issue with framebuffer textures going black
• CubemapTexture
  • Unique resource for cubemap textures
• ViewportTexture
  • Unique resource for viewport textures

Minor Changes

• Implemented an image handler to abstract STBI
• Improved Theatre::Draw
• Improved the logic behind Viewport and Camera3D/Camera2D communicating the "current" camera
• Made the player automatically steal the current Camera3D for the root viewport
• Various small improvements and formatting changes

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.0

Nostalgia v0.3.0 - Alpha 3

Major Changes

• theatre/parser/number_parser.hpp
  • Improved parsing logic and corrected index errors in the function InterpretGLM.
• theatre/parser/lexer.cpp, theatre/parser/parser.cpp
  • Removed old code for parsing contexts and removed logic for assigning TokenName::Keyword to valid type name tokens.
  • Implemented forward-declaration keywords for custom Thing types.
  • Implemented nearest-base approximation for unkown Thing type names.
• theatre/thing_factory.cpp
  • Fixed custom types that inherit directly from Thing not getting their maker function and priority set in ThingFactory::AddThing.

Minor Changes

• Changed some variables to be more intuitive in various things' ::SetVariables and ::GetVariables functions.
• Extended some logic for things like the player creating a default camera.
• Cleaned up some mistakes/whitespace.

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0
