Changelog for 0.4

  • Improved speed calculation for windows' drag physics
  • Fixed a bug that was causing windows to disappear outside the screen if dragged too close to the edge while physics effects were enabled
  • Minimize feature added. Now windows can be minimized by dragging them toward the borders of the screen.

Changelog for 0.3

  • More compatible touch events. Now DOM elements receive the events before the document object.
  • Added Box2d physics drag. Now windows can have momentum when released from a drag.
  • Improved dragging. Now adding/removing a touch while dragging a window will not cause a sudden shift.
  • New demo applications including Glow Hockey, Checkers, Chess, Feed The Panda (Cut the rope clone) and Movie Player.
  • Fixed heap overflow bug while maximizing a window.
  • Fixed race conditions that were causing display issues during animations.
  • Removed system menus, now applications can be closed by a pinch gesture.
  • Removed GLA.SetMenuButtons API.
  • Added aspect ratio option in the configuration for applications.
  • Faster input and rendering for fullscreen applications!
  • Improved the transitions to fullscreen (now fades instead of scaling).
  • Fixed the default theme's navigator size.
  • Improved deallocation of windows that were causing crashes due to racing conditions.
  • Dynamic resize of windows. Now upon resize the browser tab mapped to the window will get resized as well, making rendering faster and interaction easier.
  • Improved texture size calculation of theme windows.
