UntitledImGuiFramework 0.9.9.0 and preparing for 1.0
Work on release 0.9.9.0 has started. It's headline feature is the 1.0 release of the completely finished Vulkan and WebGPU renderers, multiple refactors to the framework code and upstream libraries, moving our OpenGL loader from GLEW to GLAD and finally supporting plugins on Windows.
Additionally, much of the feature set for 1.0 is done, except for some annoying bugs that are hard to debug and some other small features.
UntitledLog 5.0
The 5.0 release of the UntitledLog library adds a limited C logging API and a C API for the dear imgui widget, among other small changes.
This release is breaking, because it finally renames the
UVKLog files to UntitledLog.
cimgui_extra 2.0
In the 2.0 release of the cimgui_extra library, we added support for the popular imspinner library.
Wayland support
Wayland support for the platform functions of the Window interface in the UntitledImGuiFramework is finally coming with release v0.9.9.0.
Framework desktop packaging
Many may know that from around framework version 0.8.8.0, the UntitledImGuiFramework and all applications written on top of it have been packaged for Gentoo and Funtoo Linux on under the UntitledDesktopOverlay repository.
Because this is one of the last parts in the development of the first stable version of the UntitledImGuiFramework, we decided to start work on creating additional packages for other packaging formats. We plan on supporting the following:
- DEBs - Debian-based Linux distributions
- RPMs - RHEL/Fedora-based Linux distributions
- PKGBUILDs - Arch-based Linux distributions
- Flatpaks - Cross-platform on all Linux distributions
