axmol-2.0.0 Sep.9 2023

• Add experimental WebAssembly build support(WebGL 2.0) by @nowasm
  • List of known issues maybe help wanted
    • WebGL context lost not handled yet
  • A demo avaiable on axmol gh-pages: cpp-tests.html, build from branch dev
  • Note: Follow functionals require wasm pthread support, and needs server enable https://web.dev/coop-coep/ response with specified header, and by default thread support was enabled by axmol client build commands
    • AudioEngine
    • ASTC multi-thread software decoder
    • TextureCache::addImageAsync
    • MeshRenderer::createAsync
    • Extension: live2d not support due to it's sdk core not opensource and not contains wasm prebuilt libs
  • Quick build and run cpp_tests on local machine, the command use emrun to preview, and it's response with specified headers which wasm pthread support required, so above functionals with multi-threading works well.
    • axmol run -p wasm -xb "--target,cpp_tests"
  • Add 2 cmake options: AX_WASM_THREADS, AX_WASM_SHELL_FILE, refer to CMakeOptions.md
• OpenGL3/GLES3 support, add new cmake option AX_GLES_PROFILE to control GLES profile, refer to #1279
• Mesh instancing draw support
• Use glslcc(a spriv-corss & glslang wrapper tool) as new shader workflow, write shader by ESSL310, build to target platforms:
  • MSL for Apple(macOS/iOS/tvOS)
  • ESSL300 for Android, ANGLE
  • GLSL330 for Desktop GL
  • GLSL100 for Android old devices e.g android-4.2
  • Restrict ESSL310 input shader: please only define 1 uniform block at per shader stage
• Improve ProgramManager for loading custom shader program more easy
• Improve text rendering, label SDF outline support
• Improve FileStream, handle large 4GB+ files
• Improve ASTC hardware support detection
• Use ANGLE(d3d11) as default renderer library on win32

• [NEW] ArchLinux now official supported by axmol community, means, with 2 steps:

  1. install-pwsh.sh
  2. pwsh .\setup.ps1 then you can compile for targets: linux and android (apk) by commands in your axmol's project root directory
  • axmol build -p linux for linux
  • axmol build -p android -a arm64 for android
