A release with minor API changes in ktx-scene2d and ktx-collections, as well as new features in ktx-app, ktx-ashley, ktxc-collections, and ktx-freetype-async. Includes new utilities for platform-specific code in ktx-app.

  • [UPDATE] Updated to Gradle 7.2.
  • [UPDATE] Updated to Dokka 1.5.30.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-app) Added Platform object that exposes various utilities for platform-specific code.
    • Platform.currentPlatform returns current ApplicationType or throws GdxRuntimeException if unable to determine.
    • Platform.version returns the current version of the platform (e.g., Android API version, iOS major OS version).
    • Boolean properties that allow to determine current platform:
      • Platform.isAndroid checks if the current platform is Android.
      • Platform.isDesktop checks if the current platform is desktop with graphical application.
      • Platform.isHeadless checks if the current platform is desktop without graphical application.
      • Platform.isiOS checks if the current platform is iOS.
      • Platform.isMobile checks if the current platform is Android or iOS.
      • Platform.isWeb checks if the current platform is HTML/WebGL.
    • Inlined methods that allow to execute code on specific platforms:
      • Platform.runOnAndroid executes an action if the current platform is Android. Returns action result or null.
      • Platform.runOnDesktop executes an action if the current platform is desktop. Returns action result or null.
      • Platform.runOnHeadless executes an action if the current platform is headless desktop. Returns action result or null.
      • Platform.runOniOS executes an action if the current platform is iOS. Returns action result or null.
      • Platform.runOnMobile executes an action if the current platform is Android or iOS. Returns action result or null.
      • Platform.runOnWeb executes an action if the current platform is HTML/WebGL. Returns action result or null.
    • Inlined runOnVersion executes an action if the current platform version is within minimum and maximum values.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-ashley) Mapper abstract class designed for companion objects of Components. Allows to easily obtain instances of a ComponentMapper corresponding to the enclosing Component class.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-assets-async) AssetStorage.loadSync(String) now supports optional loading parameters.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-collections) isEmpty and isNotEmpty extension methods of libGDX collections now support Kotlin contracts. If they return true, the collection is implied not to be null.
  • [CHANGE] (ktx-collections) As IdentityMap now extends ObjectMap, some redundant utilities specific to IdentityMap were removed. From the user point of view, all additional functionalities are covered by the ObjectMap utilities.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-freetype-async) AssetStorage.loadFreeTypeFontAsync was added, mimicking loadAsync behavior.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-freetype-async) AssetStorage.loadFreeTypeFontSync was added, mimicking loadSync behavior.
  • [FEATURE] (ktx-freetype-async) AsyncAssetManager.loadFreeTypeFontAsync was added, returning a Deferred<BitmapFont> instance.
  • [CHANGE] (ktx-scene2d) Scene2DSkin.defaultSkin now throws IllegalStateException when accessed before overriding.
