This release has a pretty wide variety of changes, most of them requested by users, so if something wasn't to your liking before, you can try this version! Changes include:

  • You can generate some more predefined samples purely from the command line now. gradlew sample --args="android_dev" will produce a sample that already has Box2D, Box2D-Lights, GDX-Freetype, ShapeDrawer, TenPatch, and Stripe added to it, without needing a GUI at all. There's also "gwt_dev" and "tea_dev".
  • There's a notification that replaces the Liftoff logo if your version is out-of-date. This will only do anything when the next version is released, since only 1.12.1.7 is currently able to respond to a more recent version being available.
  • The font is skinnier, which lets more of the description text be visible in third-party extensions.
  • More libraries! Gdx-UnBox2D, Apache Fury, Apache Commons Collections, gand, crux, cringe, tantrum... Also, SquidSquad should work out-of-the-box again, and InGameConsole (by StrongJoshua, initially) now works on GWT.
  • ProGuard config has improved.
  • iOS requirements are handled for upcoming changes in the App Store rules.
  • Annotation processors should work on GWT now.
  • Gradle has been updated to 8.7 .
  • Toolchains have been removed because a simpler way seems to work better.
  • MOE has been removed temporarily... We are waiting on a fix from the Gradle team that apparently is blocking MOE from working in Gradle's current version.
  • Lastly, the JAR is smaller! It turns out we didn't need to include audio libraries with gdx-liftoff, because it doesn't play any sounds or music.

I hope this release works for you!
