What's new in Cocos Creator 2.1.2

Jul 18, 2019
  • What’s New:
  • Optimizing 2D projects:
  • Previously we had always positioned v2.1 as a 3D predecessor, so v2.1 was lagging behind for the care of pure 2D projects. However, v2.1.2 has been carefully optimized to work well with both 2D and 3D projects. Now we officially recommend that all v2.0 projects be upgraded to v2.1.2. Projects upgraded from v2.0 will default to 3D modules, ensuring that there is no impact on the package and performance of 2D projects. To add 3D support, manually check the 3D module in Menu → Project → Project Settings → Module Settings.
  • Supports Xiaomi Mini Games:
  • Cocos Creator officially supports publishing to Xiaomi Mini Games. For detailed usage, please refer to Publish to Xiaomi Mini Game 7.
  • Supports Cocos Play:
  • Cocos Creator officially supports publishing to Cocos Play. For detailed usage, please refer to Publish to Cocos Play 9.
  • Improvements:
  • Improve the WeChat game resource loading process:
  • Fixed a problem where the resource might not load successfully (thanks to snow_storm for feedback) [#97]
  • Optimize processing logic when caching fails [#98]
  • Fixed a problem with subsequent callbacks of remote images without multiple callbacks [#96]
  • Avoid crashes caused by oversized json file parsing (thanks to canghai7789 for feedback)[#101]
  • Adjust the cache interval to reduce the impact on the game frame rate [#97]
  • Editor improvements:
  • Complete automatic atlas algorithm, now you can generate the smallest size atlas without manually adjusting max size
  • Improve Windows platform support for multiple monitors. Now the editor automatically detects window visibility when it starts, ensuring that the window displays properly.
  • Increase warning information before project upgrade or downgrade to prevent users from misoperation
  • Added DragonBones and Spine’s dressup demo [#725] in the included sample project
  • Optimized editor compatibility with GPU devices and reduced false positives due to WebGL compatibility
  • Improved the Asset Watcher mechanism. If the type of an accessor(getset) of a component is defined as an array of resources, the setter will be triggered to reset the entire array when the corresponding resource changes.
  • Engine improvements:
  • Turn off preserveDrawingBuffer by default on WeChat game, which solves the problem that the game will be stuck for a few seconds from the background to the front desk [#4537]. (The WeChat game must be enabled with preserveDrawingBuffer when it is first released, otherwise the scene switch will be black)
  • Improved positioning accuracy of Label on native platform [#4765], [#1764]
  • Optimized BMFont Memory usage during rendering [#4651]
  • Allow Label to be modified again after setting it to BITMAP mode (although it is still not recommended, resulting in additional memory and performance overhead)
  • Reduced the timeout for loading ttf fonts from Web platform from 60s to 3s [#4536] 1
  • Added url attribute to Asset to get the actual url of the current resource. Developers can directly call the platform’s native API to use these urls [#4536] 1

New in Cocos Creator 2.1.0 (Dec 20, 2018)

  • Cocos Creator v2.1, adds support for 3D features such as: 3D model rendering, 3D Camera, 3D skeletal animation, and 3D point selection. The Cocos Creator editor now natively supports parsing 3D model files in FBX format. It’s that simple, no additional workflow is required!
  • In the previous version, v2.0, Cocos Creator had used a Cocos3D based 3D renderer to officially introduce 3D support. The addition of 3D features can greatly enrich the expressiveness of 2D games, reduce the resource overhead of 2D games, and bring more imagination and ideas to expand games.
  • However, it should be emphasized that the target users of Cocos Creator is still 2D game development, and the 2D game is still the core service of Cocos Creator 2.x. We will continue to optimize the development experience and basic performance of 2D games, and gradually increase the 3D functions suitable for integration into 2D games. Therefore, Cocos Creator does not allow a pure 3D game, which is the goal of Cocos3D. Cocos Creator’s development path is closer to 2.5D.
  • This is not the first time Cocos has upgraded the engine from 2D to 3D. A few years ago, Cocos2d-x expanded to the 3D space and accumulated a lot of experience. It also produced a very good game concept like Sword and Home. However, at that time, 3D functions were piled up on a very heavy 2D renderer, and there was no editor support. It was not widely recognized by the market. This time, Cocos Creator is based on Cocos3D’s 3D renderer, which has a lot of 3D stability and guarantees a seamless editor experience.

New in Cocos Creator 2.0.6 (Dec 20, 2018)

  • Added Facebook Audience Network and Facebook Live Video integration options to the service panel
  • Fixed an issue that Facebook Instant Games could not upload
  • Fixed a problem with zip compression for zip packages from Facebook Instant Games
  • Optimized the build panel for the vivo game:
  • Removed npm path input box
  • The app icon is modified to any path, no longer limited to the path of the game project, and a button for selecting the image path function is added to the right of the app icon input box.
  • Removed the use of certificate.pem, private.pem certificates fixed in [game project]/build-templates/jsb-link, and modified them to choose their own path. At the same time, the certificate is added to the rightmost button of certificate.pem. (Note that using Windows systems requires installing the openssl software and configuring its environment variables beforehand)
  • Removed the use of certificate.pem, private.pem certificates fixed in [game project]/build-templates/jsb-link, and modified them to choose their own path. At the same time, the certificate is added to the rightmost button of certificate.pem. (Note that using Windows systems requires installing the openssl software and configuring its environment variables beforehand)
  • The output path of the packaged rpk is adjusted to be the same as the path when the packet rpk is not set, in the [game project]/build/quickgame/build/ directory. And when you package the packet rpk, only one rpk file will be generated, and no other sub-package directories will be generated.
  • WeChat mini game is not enabled by default after ES6 to ES5
  • Limit the maximum number of concurrent downloads (cc.macro.DOWNLOAD_MAX_CONCURRENT) to less than 10 by default on WeChat games.

New in Cocos Creator 1.6.0 (Aug 16, 2017)

  • Feature Highlights:
  • JavaScript-Binding layer upgrade, a substantial increase in Android platform performance
  • Preview the game do not need to bundle all scripts, instant refresh game after make changes to a script
  • Batch editing node and component properties
  • Add option to generate asset file names based on their MD5 when build for web platform
  • Upgrade WebSocket library for iOS platform to solve most of the platform-specific network communication problems
  • JavaScript-Binding layer upgrade:
  • In this version, we upgraded the JavaScript-Binding layer between JS script and C++ engine. On the one hand we upgrade SpiderMonkey(a JavaScript engine) from v33 to v52. This results in a substantial script executing performance boost in Android platform (Because iOS platform does not enable JIT so the effect is not obvious); on the other hand, we started binding layer interface reconstruction from this version, the goal is:
  • Provide a completely abstract JS-binding layer API, independent of the JavaScript engine, the user’s binding code will no longer be affected by the future updates of the JS engine.
  • Support platform specific native JS engine: v8 engine on Android platform, JavaScriptCore on iOS platform.
  • After upgrading the binding layer, we not only provide a stable environment for binding JS code to C++, but also support the native JS engine on specific platforms that will make the package size significantly reduced for native builds, because SpiderMonkey engine library is not needed in the package.
  • Preview game do not need to bundle all scripts:
  • As a result of the need for modular scripting, we bundle user’s scripts before running it from the first version of Cocos Creator. But for a large project the number of scripts can easily go up to hundreds. Any change to any script will trigger the entire bundling process, and it will take a long time before the game can up and running with the updated scripts.
  • In order to solve this problem, we refactored script loading environment for a bundle-free modular system. When preview the game in editor, you can load a JavaScript script from another without having to bundle them. Any changes to the script will only trigger the script compilation (ES6 to ES5, TypeScript to ES5) itself, making the game instantly up and running after the modification of the script, greatly improving development efficiency.
  • Batch edit node and component properties:
  • When editing UI scenes, you often encounter the need to select some nodes and bulk modify a property to their needs, this version we added the batch editing function to Properties panel.
  • After selecting multiple nodes, the components and attributes shared by these nodes can be edited in batches. When the property values of different nodes are different, selecting these nodes will make them display as -, modify this value will make the property of all the selected nodes share the same value.
  • Add option to generate asset file names based on their MD5 when build for web platform:
  • For HTML5 game developers, the effective use of the browser’s cache system is very important, to prevent users to repeatedly download resources, and ensure that the cached resources can be correctly updated. In this version we add **MD5 Cache** option to the Build Settings panel. If checked the build process will add the MD5 of each asset file to the filename. So the end user’s browser will automatically re-download the asset files which has different MD5, to save traffic and ensure the consistency of the version.
  • Using SocketRocket to replace previous WebSocket implementation on iOS platform:
  • We use [SocketRocket library](https://github.com/facebook/socketrocket), which developed by facebook, to replace the libWebsocket library that has been used in the cocos2d-x and Cocos Creator C++ engines. This new implementation supports the following features:
  • The API of SocketRocket is easy for use, it’s all asynchronous API.
  • No need to deal with thread communications, it’s wrapped inside SocketRocket.
  • Network status change will not make connection closed, it just seems there is not any status change.
  • Locking screen will trigger an error while libwebsockets or bsd socket will not.
  • Do not depend on openssl library which is a little big
  • Do not need to use a local CA root certificate (curl ca file is over 2MB) for wss connection
  • Do not trigger signal pipe while closing wss connection

New in Cocos Creator 1.5.2 (Jul 14, 2017)

  • Significantly reduced script compilation time:
  • For projects with a large code base, the script compilation time becomes a big concern to developers. In version 1.5.2, we have further optimized the compilation process so that the compilation time has been greatly reduced. And in the next version we will completely rework the script bundle system, to achieve that when preview during development there’s no need to compile code at all.
  • Add culling for Camera:
  • The introduction of Camera component in the previous version has an impact on culling of objects outside the viewport range. In this version we have re-organized this part of the function, and now we can ensure that objects outside the camera perspective can be properly culled off. We also solved problems with objects instantiated outside the perspective of cameras that may not be displayed correctly in some cases.
  • In addition, the cc.Camera.getCameraToWorldPoint() interface is added to correctly get the world coordinates of objects under camera view.
  • Support Visual Studio 2017:
  • When compiling on windows platform, the option to compile with VS 2017 is added. Also note that we will no longer support VS 2013 from the next Creator version on, please prepare your development environment to make the necessary adjustments.

New in Cocos Creator 1.5.1 (Jun 19, 2017)

  • Improve the async callback mechanism when downloading assets, increase speed of the native and Web assets loading by 2 to 3 times
  • On iOS platform we disable async function of openssl library, to avoid Apple store reject the program for using forbidden API (setcontext, getcontext, makecontext, etc).
  • Add the build option “Merge SpriteFrame in Atlas”, the default is not checked so that when there’re too many spriteFrames in atlas, the loading speed of first scene won’t be affected.
