1.2.0 - Improved multi-user grabbables

Upgrades to AvStandardGrabbable:

  • Added a new property style that replaces useInitialParent and advertiseGadgetInfo. This property is required and must be one of the following values:
    • GrabbableStyle.Gadget - The grabbable represents the top-level object in a gadget. It will adopt the initial position when the gadget is spawned from a gadget seed, it will have the favorite and delete controls on the A menu, and it will be cloned to remote gadgets (if a remoteInterfaceLocks list is provided.)
    • GrabbableStyle.LocalItem - The grabbable represents a sub-item in the gadget. It will not be networked, and it will not act as a gadget itself.
    • GrabbableStyle.NetworkedItem - The grabbable represents a sub-item in the gadget that will have its state shared back and forth with the remote copies of the gadget. Grabbables of this style must also specify the new itemId property, which is what Aardvark uses to sync up the remote copies of the grabbables with the primary copy. This ID must be unique within the gadget.
  • Added new properties appearance and volume. If these are specified they are used instead of modelUri and modelScale to provide the appearance of the grabbable. This is useful when the grabbable needs to be more complex than a simple scaled model.

The whiteboard markers have been moved to use AvStandardGrabbable now that appearance is available. They are using GrabbableStyle.NetworkedItem, so they users will see the markers move when other users move them.

All of the networked item functionality requires the networked room provider to be updated to @aardvarkxr/[email protected] or later. If the room gadget is using an older version of the library the networked items will not move on the remote end.

  • Added useTextureFromUrl field to AvModel, which allows a gadget to override the model built into the glTF model with an arbitrary PNG, JPEG, or other texture from an HTTP, HTTPS, or IPFS URL.
  • Fixed bug that left panels in a bad state when the poker moved away from the panel while the trigger was pulled.

1.0.3 - Opening URLs

Added Av().startUrl(...), which allows a gadget to start a URL using the local machine's registered handle for that kind of URL. The gadget must have the "starturl" permission for this function to be available.

  • Fixed several places where Aardvark would have the wrong number of slashes in a gadget manifest URL. (Thanks @fuag15 !)
  • Hooked up the new "labs" tab in the gadget registry. (Thanks @JaredMonkey )
  • Cleaned up a number of web package security issues.
  • Added the origin and user agent string of the peer gadget to the information available on active interfaces.
  • Added "Favorite" and "Delete" actions to the A menu when it is selected for a gadget. To get this functionality in your own gadgets, make sure you are using at least [email protected] and [email protected].
  • Changed the addFavorite function on AvGadgetList to not require a prompt to the user when it is called from within Aardvark. Calls to that function from a regular browser (for instance on the landing page) will still prompt.
  • Aardvark will now hide itself when the SteamVR dashboard is up #150 (Thanks for the suggestion @BOLL7708 )

Cleaned up exe names Pre-release
Pre-release
  • Renamed "avrenderer.exe" to "aardvarkxr.exe" #147 - This make it easier to understand what's going on in task manager.
  • Renamed the copy of "node.exe" that Aardvark installs to "aardvark_server.exe" to make it easier to find in task manager (and to enable the next thing.
  • Added code to kill aardvark_server.exe any time that aardvarkxr.exe is about to start it. This should clean up all the times when normal users will have a stuck server blocking startup. #106
  • Changed the aardvark server to listen on localhost so that it won't allow connections to come in from other machines (and won't need a firewall hole punched for it.

Quality of life fixes Pre-release

  • Added context menu to the A button in the favorites list in the gadget menu. (This will likely be used in other places, but this is the first one.) At the moment that menu has one option: Remove favorite. This fixes #52
