  • Fixed incorrect scrollRect clipping at extreme scaling levels

  • Fixed unnecessary operations in Promise by inlining some getter functions.
  • Fixed failure to read gradle-plugin attribute in <config:android> tag.
  • Fixed failed installation of app on iOS Simulator by choosing only simulators that are considered available.
  • Fixed lime test ios to install and launch on a device when using Xcode 16 or newer.
  • Fixed reported version of OpenAL library.
  • Fixed memory cleanup when encoding PNG and JPEG images.
  • Fixed error reporting @rpath/libhl.dylib not found on macOS when using HashLink nightly build.
  • Fixed building HashLink on macOS that required cleaning between compiles.
  • Fixed embedBytes() macro incorrectly running when embedByteArray() macro was also running.
  • Fixed ImageDataUtil.copyPixels() causing crash on HashLink.
  • Fixed missing neko target flag when cross-compiling to Windows without -mingw or -cpp flags.
  • Fixed occasional failure running Lime tools by switching certain paths from relative to absolute.
  • Fixed missing warning when lime rebuild commands fail because C++ source is not available from Haxelib.
  • Fixed command instructions to specify requirement for absolute paths when setting up a platform.
  • Added detection of -cpp flag when cross-compiling to Windows, which works like -mingw.
  • Updated FreeType submodule to version 2.12.1 again. Resolved the vertical line spacing issue encountered when using this version in Lime 8.2.0 and the letter spacing issue encountered when rolling back to FreeType 2.9.1 in Lime 8.2.1.

I think I have some problems with the latest OpenFL/Lime versions.

  1. If I use my own Android permissions in project.xml, something like this:
    <config:android permission="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    It overrides default permissions instead of combining them together and cause app to crash on pause:

java.lang.SecurityException: cancelVibrate: Neither user 10424 nor current process has android.permission.VIBRATE.

This was not a problem in Lime 8.0.0. What has changed?

  1. All my .jpg assets are not loading properly anymore. I guess, there is something with jpeg decoder.
    No problems with .png assets.
    So this happens:
    screenshot_artifacts
    screenshot_artifacts1024×461 144 KB

The problem with .jpg assets is probably coming from the switch to libjpeg-trubo library since Lime 8.2.0.

Thank you.

The latest releases don’t work for me either. I can’t compile an empty project
This is the error I get:

C:/HaxeToolkit/haxe/lib/openfl/9,4,1/src/openfl/display/DisplayObject.hx:213: characters 3-30

213  |   new Vector<DisplayObject>(), function(stack) stack.length = 0);
     |   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     | Not enough arguments, expected length:Int, fixed:Bool, array:Array<openfl.display.DisplayObject>

Tested on :

  1. Windows 10
  2. OpenFL - 9.4.1-L39fjS
  3. Lime - 8.2.2
  4. Haxe - 5.0.0-alpha.1+7e7a969

EDIT:
It works with Haxe 4.3.6 .
Apparently the problem is with Haxe 5.

I have committed the following fix for the JPG issue (which we determined affected 32-bit platforms only): libjpeg: fix rendering on 32-bit platforms · openfl/lime@44dd331 · GitHub
