Here's the release notes: http://www.giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Release_notes

We're also planning to release another version that includes 64-bit iOS builds soon.

Awesome! Thank so much @atilim !

SinisterSoft

Great news.

jdbc

Is it automatic build scripts available from github?

petec

Thanks

atilim

@jdbc not yet. although we rewrite the build script for travis (https://travis-ci.org/), build takes longer than 50 minutes and travis gives timeout. Now we're trying to optimize build scripts so that travis will automatically build releases without any timeout.

But you should be able to install all dependencies and build using this single script on osx with brew installed on it:

@ar2rsawseen I tried this script today on Mac (Yosemite) and everything compiles without any errors, all the applications are generated and the dmg is created. All apps work (Font Creator, License Manager, Player, Texture Packer) except Gideros Studio. It crashes immediately after launch. What I noticed is that the app has only 27.3 megs, which is way less than the working version that Atilim posted today (154.2 megs). Any clue why? Could there be some step missing in the script? I have attached the crashed thread below.

atilim

@grotly I think, it crashes because your Gideros Studio.app directory doesn't contain Resources directory. You can copy it from the generated dmg file.

ar2rsawseen

@atilim any idea why Resources directory is not there?
Incorrectly copied Gideros.app to another dir?

atilim

Just after building (with qmake + make), Gideros Studio.app directory doesn't contain Resources folder. After building, the copymac.sh copies the Resources (and some other) directories inside Gideros Studio.app.

MikeHart

Now I am trying to use Gideros regulary, the player is always crashing on me. I am on OSX 10.8.5. The player starts fine. But when I start the app, the IDE states Uploading and then the player crashes. It happens with every project.

SinisterSoft

I have it crash with debig messages that contain numeric variables. It crashes if I print one.

So I make it a staring first - eg
zzz="test "..x
print(zzz)

as print(x) would crash.

Maybe thats it for you too?

dominikusdp

wow, big thanks! really happy it's still updated \:D/

nb: waiting for next version that includes 64-bit ios builds

atilim

@MikeHart, Let me boot my macmini (which has OS X 10.8.x) and run Gideros on it to understand the problem.

@SinisterSoft, can you give me more detail about your environment?

MikeHart

@atilim. I had this problem before with older versions too.

atilim

@MikeHart I see. btw, do you plan to upgrade to newer OS X? 10.8.5 is pretty old.

MikeHart

@SinisterSoft definitely not the case. I checked it with the gideros examples and it happens there too. Fading Stars has no print output. And the player crashes as soon I hit the Start button.

I have attached the crash log

MikeHart

@Atilim, actually not if I can avoid it. Maybe to 10.9.x but with with 10.10.x I think my 2008 Imac will not work well.

ianchia

@atilim thank you for continuing to update Gideros. I had my doubts and was about to port my current clients to cocos2d-x which is VERY impressive these days but I'm glad I don't have to port a bunch of ongoing projects.

I am willing to pay you to expedite ios64 bit compatibility and to fix the ios8 rotation issues correctly (have done some additional research and the current recommended fixes don't work as I mix both OpenGL views and native UIWebViews and modal alerts freely.)

A couple of my current Gideros projects involve important enterprise apps in the public health sector - an iPad app for a public hospital trialing a distress screening app for cancer patients and a not-for-profit iPhone app developed over the past 2 years in conjunction with many mental health professsionals for youth suicide prevention. These are very important and I would MUCH prefer finishing these in Gideros than cocos2d-x. Can you email me privately and discuss whether expediting these fixes while being paid for your work is a possibility? I have tried compiling the prior posted builds on github for arm64 but ran into a bunch of dependency issues. I ONLY need gideros.a to work on the device for development and deployment on iOS and not desktop and don't care about LuaJIT for now. Encryption would still be preferred. I'm not really concerned about upgrading the studio unless compatibility for running builds remotely on the device is an issue. (I did have an issue with 2014.4 Studio always complaining about missing MP3 assets even though they were clearly on the device in the appropriate directory.)

Many thanks,

- Ian

atilim

Hi Ian,

Lets talk about privately and solve all of your issues.

Instead of making it a paid work, you may consider supporting Kickstarter campaign. I'm not financially involved in that campaign but I'm totally supporting it as an advisor.

best,

vitalitymobile

@atilim Just setup new version and i think there is a bug in gideros player?

atilim

@vitalitymobile Weird. I couldn't generate this bug on my Mac.

marcelojunior

@vitalitymobile your mac is retina display?

vitalitymobile

@marcelojunior yes! My mac is retina 15 inch.
@atilim old version works well. The newest version maybe miss retina support?

FlimFlamboyant

Yeah, that's a retina issue. It's a problem I had as well, but I managed to modify my Player app to support it. Hmm... I really should get set up properly on github so I can submit some pull requests.

m99r5wg

I wrote my build script to export the project, but in this version, the gdrexport has issue on OSX

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/qt5/lib/QtXml.framework/Versions/5/QtXml

totebo

Hi guys, new build, great! Before I excitedly update it, is it advised to wait a hit until the issues mentioned above are fixed?

ar2rsawseen

I think Atilim was preparing new build with @marcelojunior modifications don't know about the fixes though, but I know there are some pull requests that are being looked at to fix some of the issues

SinisterSoft

Do you know when the new build is out?
