January 2, 2019
New Version

Features

  • New cross platform library added - b4x libraries:
    • XUI Views: [B4X] XUI Views - Cross platform views and dialogs.
    • X2 games framework: [B4X] X2 / XUI2D (Box2D) - Game engine.
  • Auto-backups - The IDE will make project backups automatically:
    • Created zip files are the same as that generated using File - Export as zip.
    • A new zip is created every 10 minutes (when there are changes).
    • Older backups are automatically deleted based on a set of internal rules. The frequency of kept files is lowered based on the files age. It starts with one file per 10 minutes and ends with one file every two months after 6 months.
    • It can be disabled if needed.
  • Adds ability to go to the code line directly from the logs.

Fixes

  • Fix for wrong 'dip' scale issue that occurred in some edge cases.
  • Log correctly shows duplicate messages (relevant to Android 8+ devices).
  • Updated internal libraries: FirebaseAuth v1.06, Camera2 v1.11, XUI2D v1.02, Core v8.80 and debug libs.
  • Debugger improvements:
    • Fix for issue where resumable sub could show the wrong value for a global variable.
    • Fix for issue where the error message points to the wrong module.
  • XUI v1.90 with B4XView.EditTextHint, SetTextSizeAnimated, XUI.CreateFontAwesome and CreateMaterialIcons methods.
