8.2.0

Documentation here.

 

New features:

• Kerning pairs are now loaded from standard fonts and MSDF fonts automatically. You can modify kerning pairs with scribble_kerning_pair_set(), including adding kerning pairs to spritefonts
• Adds SCRRIBLE_USE_KERNING to turn off the above behaviour if you don't like it!
• Adds macros, added via scribble_add_macro(). Macros can be used to inject substrings into the Scribble parser
• Scribble now creates zero global variables, keeping your debugger neat and tidy
• Adds SCRIBBLE_THAI_GRAVE_ACCENTS_ARE_ZWSP to help with localisation
• Adds SCRIBBLE_UNDO_UNICODE_SUBSTITUTIONS to clean up text that Google Docs or MS Word has butchered
• .get_bbox() returned struct now contains the original x/y argument provided to the method

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes animations freezing if many copies of the same text element are drawn
• Regions are now scanned in reverse to work around an issue with region heights sometimes being a bit too tall
• Removes that annoying Warning! Model generator found hanging line data debug message
• Fixes crash in scribble_font_get_glyph_ranges()
• Fixes crash when drawing an empty string with a Krutidev font
• Minor improvements to error reporting

8.1.0

Documentation here.

 

New features:

• Adds [typistSound] and [typistSoundPerChar] inline command tags. These operate identically to the equivalent typist .sound() and .sound_per_char() methods. The command tags will only take effect when a typist is being used to draw a text element
• Setting the height of a space character now adjusts the line height for a font. No more adding .line_height() to every text element!
• MSDF fonts with missing spaces will now have a space character automatically generated. You can adjust the width of the space character by using scribble_glyph_set() (as you would when modifying any character)
• Adds SCRIBBLE_ATTEMPT_FONT_SCALING_FIX to control occasionally problematic automatic fixing of font downscaling issues

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes colours sometimes being reversed on Opera GX
• .blend() now affects .msdf_border()
• Font loading-related crashes are now handled slightly more gracefully
• Arabic aleph+lam ligature no longer joins left when it shouldn't
• Devanagari no longer trips over whitespace and other non-printable characters

8.0.9

Documentation here.

 

• Fixes forced line height causing inconsistent y-offsets for glyphs
• Protects against crashes when SCRIBBLE_FIT_TO_BOX_ITERATIONS to set to 0
• Fixes bounding box getters not updating when regenerating the model
• Fixes off-by-one in scribble_font_scale()
• Fixes scribble_font_bake_shader() not working for fonts with glyphs from multiple texture pages

8.0.8

Documentation here.

 

• Improves debug messages when a character is missing from a font
• Fixes sprites occasionally breaking Devanagari rendering
• Fixes sprites being wrongly positioned when used with right-to-left scripts (Arabic and Hebrew)
• Fixes nukta rendering when using Devanagari
• Fixes Chinese punctuation inelegantly wrapping to new lines
• Fixes hiragana and katakana not being considered as CJK glyphs
• Fixes mixed script usage with Devanagari

8.0.7

Documentation here.

 

• Many performance improvements
• Fixes hamza and tatweel/kashida being unsupported when rendering Arabic
• Fixes non-breaking spaces rendering incorrectly in most fonts
• Fixes use of in-line sprites breaking Devanagari (Hindi) rendering
• Fixes .fit_to_box() not functioning properly when words are too long for the box

Known Issues:

• In-line sprites are occasionally incorrectly positioned during right-to-left rendering (Arabic and Hebrew)

8.0.5

Documentation here.

 

Changes from 8.0.4:

• Calling a method after .draw() now throws a helpful error message
• Fixes many .fit_to_box() issues, including incorrect sizing and right-to-left script incompatibilities
• Fixes spaces being set to zero width occasionally
• Fixes text effects being lost when backgrounding the app on Android
• Fixes .skip() not working when applied before new text is drawn with a typist
• Fixes crash when rendering ओ in Krutidev fonts
• Adds scribble_font_delete() and scribble_font_exists()
• scribble_font_rename() is now safer
• Fixes another nasty edge case garbage collection bug
