Release 6.0.0

💔 marks an incompatible API / binary change
🎁 marks new features
🔧 marks bug fixes and general improvements

Dependencies for core libraries

• Gradle: 7.2 ➡ 7.5.1
• Kotlin: 1.5.31 ➡ 1.7.10
• Kotlin coroutines: 1.5.2 ➡ 1.6.4

General

• 🔧💔 A new direct rendering model for all core and custom components in Radiance
  • Instead of rendering components as multi-layer combinations of cached offscreen images, Radiance now uses direct rendering to the Graphics objects passed to the relevant UI delegates and painting methods
  • Use RadianceCommonCortex.paintAtScale1x for visuals that need to "fall" on exact pixels, line single-pixel borders, separators, etc
• 🔧 Remove all usages of java.security APIs (that are deprecated in Java 17 going forward)

Animation

• 🎁 New default animation pulse source that is based on the display refresh rate

Component

• 🎁💔 Unify fire action trigger logic for command buttons by replacing CommandButtonPresentationModel.isFireActionOnRollover and CommandButtonPresentationModel.isFireActionOnPress with a single actionFireTrigger enum that has three values:
  • OnRollover to fire action on rollover
  • OnPressed to fire action on press
  • OnPressReleased to fire action on press release (the default)
• 🎁💔 Unify text action/popup click logic for command buttons by replacing CommandButtonPresentationModel.isTextClickAction and CommandButtonPresentationModel.isTextClickPopup with a single textClick enum field that has two values:
  • Action to activate action on text click
  • Popup to activate secondary content on text click
• 🎁💔 Revisit breadcrumb bar APIs
  • Remove exception propagation APIs (they were no-op in any case since it wasn't wired)
  • Remove index tracking in BreadcrumbItem (not wired to anything)
  • Switch BreadcrumbBarCallBack APIs from StringValuePair to BreadcrumbItem
  • Also rename getLeafs to getLeaves
  • Rename BreadcrumbBarCallBack to BreadcrumbBarContentProvider`
  • Rename BreadcrumbBarModel to BreadcrumbBarContentModel
  • Add BreadcrumbBarPresentationModel and support icon filtering
  • Remove StringValuePair from the API surface altogether
  • Revisit the API surface of BreadcrumbItem
• 🎁💔 Switch presentation models to use BackgroundAppearanceStrategy across all components. This applies to
  • CommandButtonPresentationModel.setFlat
  • CommandButtonPresentationModel.Overlay.setFlat
  • CommandStripPresentationModel.setFlat
  • CommandPresentationModel.setFlat
• 🎁 Add single row resize policy to ribbon flow bands
• 🔧 Fix lost breadcrumb bar path after skin change
• 🔧 Fix separator drawing over the last text character in MEDIUM command buttons that don't display icons
• 🔧 Command menus now toggle open and close on clicks
• 🔧 Fix issues with command popup menus not closing in certain scenarios

Theming

• 💔 Simplified visuals of tabbed panes
  • Remove SINGLE_FULL and DOUBLE_FULL from TabContentPaneBorderKind. Apps that wish to draw border around the content area will need to do so explicitly.
  • Remove RadianceSkin.setTabFadeStart and RadianceSkin.setTabFadeEnd and do consistent indication for the selected / rollover tab with no alpha fade gradient.
  • Consistent corner radius of tabs across all skins.
• 💔 Clean up the signature of fill painters, removing isFocused (not used anywhere, and shouldn't be since the focus indication is painted separately) and hasShine (specific to StandardFillPainter visuals).
• 🔧 Fix issues with various color chooser panels, including the correct wiring of the "Reset" button across all the panels
• 🔧 Fix incorrect bounds of maximized decorated frames on Windows
• 🔧 Fix inverted logic of ComponentOrParentChainScope.setExtraWidgetsPresence
• 🔧 Fix null pointer exception in rollover button listeners

SVG transcoder

• 🔧 Simplify generated code by not emitting identity affine transforms
• 💔 Remove plain templates
