Storyboard Engine continues to move forward with the goal of providing our customers with a broad list of supported targets.
Support for OpenGL ES on the Beagleboard using the PowerVR SDK has been added in this release. If you require support for another Open GL ES platform please contact us.
The animation manager has been overhauled to minimize CPU usage and screen refreshes when multiple animations are happening in parallel.
New events and animation ids have been added to enable better control of the animations that are in progress.
Animation start / stop events can change arbitrary data values. This means you can edit string content for example.
To rotate an image counter clockwise you can now use negative numbers instead of having to work back from 360 degrees.
Platforms that have support for a Z co-ordinate, or pressure, will now be passed into the Storyboard Touch, Motion and Release events.
Resolved an issue on Window platforms with a key press delivering the character in upper case when it should be lower case.
Removed limitation for gre.send_event_data() only supporting 4u1 and 1s0 for data types. Now any data type available in Storyboard is available.
Added a new function gre.send_event_target() which enables an event to be targeted at a particular model object.
Optimized both WinCE and QNX sbengine to better utilize system memory.
Image that uses a color key as a way of making part of the image transparent, this will not work if you are using the directFB Storyboard Engine with the 1.4.2 version of DirectFB. This problem is fixed in version 1.4.9 of DirectFB
Open GL ES sbengine does not properly clip rotated images.
Timers only re-adjust their time after firing from the current delay
