The Orx community is pleased to announce the 1.14 release.
There are quite a few changes in this release.
Here are some highlights:

• Bundle, a new extension that can automatically discover and pack all your game resources, either inside separate binary packages or directly within your game’s executable.
• The Bundle extension is very efficient: it performs much better than using a lot of separate small files, cf. https://discord.com/channels/522167736823185418/717482097207672843/1103761922215661749 .
• It also supports compression, encryption, filters and is fully customizable.
• Lot of work was made on the Android plugins and its build system.
• The latter has been completely revamped and should be working out-of-the-box in all cases.
• The core clock can now be prevented from going to sleep as a trade-off between CPU usage and the eradication of potential micro-stutters that could happen under some circumstances.
• Custom commands can now be run on spawned objects, thanks to the new Spawner config property OnSpawn.
• Build type (release, debug, profile), CPU, platform and other system properties can now be queried at runtime either through the config system or with a command.
• The config include directive now supports an optional condition.
• A ton of quality of life improvements and a handful of API/event refactoring.

The Orx community is pleased to announce the 1.12 release. Some highlights include:

• Major speed & scalability improvements: from 65k to 16M concurrent objects in memory, a complete rewrite of the orxBANK module, object update re-write, added support for early exit events handling

• Support for joysticks on Android-Native

• A simpler Android build pipeline (can be entirely built from inside Android Studio without the manual NDK build step)

• Added color literals for all HTML web colors. Can be used for Object, Graphic & FX Color values

• Added Nuklear support for new projects with the init project maker tool

• Support for writing JPEG images

• Many smaller fixes/optimizations/improvements. Complete list of changes is here: https://github.com/orx/orx/blob/master/CHANGELOG

Some highlights include:

• Project build tool "Init" now supports the creation of orx/Scroll, Dear ImGui and orxArchive based projects.
• Support changes for MinGW-w64, including new support for 64bit, addition of Visual Studio 2019 and removal of VS2013
• OSX/Retina and Windows high DPI display issues corrected
• Control over polled physical peripherals.
• Text animations
• Object LifeTimes based on fx, sound, spawn, track and child, not just time.

none
• The config property WaveNumber for spawners has been renamed WaveSize
  
• The gravity is now expressed in the same unit system as every other physical values. If you didn't change the DimensionRatio property for Physics in your game, you then need to multiply your previous gravity by 100 (the default DimensionRatio being 0.01)
  
• As now you can specify empty values for any config property (useful when overriding), when you use blocks for values, the first block marker ["] has to be one the same line as the asignment character [=]none

none
• Added custom animation events, handled from config files (very useful for synchronization)
  
• Clocks can now be created from config and directly associated to objects, ie. time stretching can easily be done on a per object basis
  
• Added easy timers based on clocks with optional repetition counters
  
• Added raycasts to test against physical bodies
  
• Objects can now have a custom gravity that can be changed on-the-fly
  
• The display resolution + windowed/fullscreen can now be changed on-the-fly
  
• Dynamic physical objects can now be part of an object hierarchy, they will compute their position given their parent movement and the results of the physical simulation
  
• More robust logic/physics/display loop with no more 1-frame delay
  
• When using the ChildList property of objects, the hierarchy can be inspected at runtime with orxObject_GetChild() / orxObject_GetSibling()
  
• AutoScroll/DepthScale now works correctly with objects that have bodies
  
• Added orx_WinExecute() convenience wrapper when executing orx from WinMain() (ie. for windows console-less games)
  
• A bunch of optimizations and misc fixes =)none

• Added more config file controls (section.key referring, file include, automatic encryption, filtered save, ...)
• Engine will now compile/link out-of-the-box when using the externlibs package
• Easy UI object placing through config file (supporting mulitiple aspect ratio)
• Added picking function, to simplify UI handling
• Simplified release/debug plugin handling (no need to specify to separate sets of plugins anymore)
• Added orxSPAWNER that can creates wavec of objects (configurable from config file)
• Added LifeTime support for objects (makes particles and FXs easy to handle, fire-and-forget style)
• Added mouse cursor control (move + hide/show)
• Added windows decoration control through config files
• Added sound spacialization with listeners
• Added priorities for clock callbacks
• Enhanced clock ticks (no more precision degradation after some hours)
• Added more events for creation/run/destructions of orxOBJECT, orxFX, orxSOUND, ...
• Added names from config files for most of objects (helps debugging and sorting in event handlers)
• Added new blend modes: add and multiply (only alpha blending was previously supported)
• Added oriented bounding box module (and completed previous axis aligned box and vector modules)
• Fixed display bug that made scrolling (and movement) not completetly smooth
• Added some debug code to help tracking wrong user allocation/free requests
• Added lot of error messages (300+) that should cover most of failure cases (thanks to M1SF17)
• Doxygen doc is warning free now
• Some speed optimizations
• Some bug fixes
