v0.12.0

What's Changed

• Runs now support custom variables that are key value pairs that either the user can specify in the run editor or are provided by a script like an auto splitter. #201
• There is now an option in the run editor to generate a comparison based on a user specified goal time. This uses the same algorithm as the Balanced PB comparison but with the time specified instead of the personal best. #209
• Images internally are now stored as is without being reencoded as Base64 which was done before in order to make it easier for the web LiveSplit One to display them. #227
• The Splits.io API is now available under the optional networking feature. #236
• All key value based components share the same component state type now. #257
• The crate now properly supports wasm-bindgen and WASI. #263
• There is now a dedicated component for displaying the comparison's segment time. #264
• Compiling the crate without std is now supported. Most features are not supported at this time though. #270
• Splitterino splits can now be parsed. #276
• The Timer component can now show a segment timer instead. #288
• Gamepads are now supported on the web. #310
• The underlying "skill curve" that the Balanced PB samples is now exposed in the API. #330
• The layout states can now be updated, which means almost all of the allocations can be reused from the previous frame. This is a lot faster. #334
• In order to calculate a layout state, the timer now provides a snapshot mechanism that ensures that the layout state gets calculated at a fixed point in time. #339
• Text shaping is now done via rustybuzz which is a port of harfbuzz. #378
• Custom fonts are now supported. #385
• The renderer is not based on meshes anymore that are suitable for rendering with a 3D graphics API. Instead the renderer is now based on paths, which are suitable for rendering with a 2D graphics API such as Direct2D, Skia, HTML Canvas, and many more. The software renderer is now based on tiny-skia which is so fast that it actually outperforms any other rendering and is the recommended way to render. #408
• Remove support for parsing worstrun splits. worstrun doesn't support splits anymore, so livesplit-core doesn't need to keep its parsing support. #411
• Remove support for parsing Llanfair 2 splits. Llanfair 2 was never publicly available and is now deleted entirely. #420
• Hotkeys are now supported on macOS. #422
• The renderer is now based on two layers. A bottom layer that rarely needs to be rerendered and the top layer that needs to be rerendered on every frame. Additionally the renderer is now a scene manager which manages a scene that an actual rendering backend can then render out. #430
• The hotkeys are now based on the UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values web standard. #440
• Timing is now based on CLOCK_BOOTTIME on Linux and CLOCK_MONOTONIC on macOS and iOS. This ensures that all platforms keep tracking time while the operating system is in a suspended state. #445
• Segment time columns are now formatted as segment times. #448
• Hotkeys can now be resolved to the US keyboard layout. #452
• They hotkeys are now based on keydown instead of keypress in the web. keydown handles all keys whereas keypress only handles visual keys and is also deprecated. #455
• Hotkeys can now be resolved to the user's keyboard layout on both Windows and macOS. #459 and #460
• The time crate is now used instead of chrono for keeping track of time. #462
• The scene manager now caches a lot more information. This improves the performance a lot as it does not need to reshape the text on every frame anymore, which is a very expensive operation. #466 and #467
• The hotkeys on Linux are now based on evdev, which means Wayland is now supported. Additionally the hotkeys are not consuming the key press anymore. #474
• When holding down a key, the hotkey doesn't repeat anymore on Linux, macOS and WebAssembly. The problem still occurs on Windows at this time. #475 and #476
