RapaGUI 2.2 released

[admin]

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce the immediate availability of RapaGUI 2.2. One of the most popular Hollywood plugins, RapaGUI is a cross-platform GUI toolkit that allows you to create graphical user interfaces that run on AmigaOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and even on Android. GUIs are conveniently defined in XML files and then run out-of-the-box on many different operating systems, using the native GUI widgets on all operating systems for an authentic look and feel.

Version 2.2 is mostly a maintenance update which contains several bug fixes. On top of that, RapaGUI 2.2 also introduces support for the macOS arm64 platform and a few other new features. It is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Hello,

The demo of the Hollywood embeded display in Widgets Demo doesn't work with 2.2, nothing drawn on the display. It worked with 2.1.

tested in MOS and Linux amd64.

I think you're confusing something here. The embedded display in the Widgets demo won't draw anything unless you use the mouse to draw something. Otherwise it's just black but it has always been like that. This works fine here with 2.2 both on MorphOS and Linux.

I see same behaviour in mos/aos4
But works in 68k and windows (uknown about linux)

I have copy new plugin to linker and testing with windows ide to other targets

Maybe mos/os4 need some other updated lib too ?

That's what I meant. With 2.1 drawing with the mouse worked. With 2.2 it doesn't.

Ok, I have rechecked. On Linux it works, but in MOS it doesn't. I have reintalled version 2.2 but still doesn't work.

Ok, this is indeed a little weird because it seems to happen only sporadically. I'm not able to reproduce it on OS3 and OS4 at all but on MorphOS it indeed does happen from time to time. Anyway, I've already identified and fixed the cause of the issue. Since this is a critical issue that could break lots of scripts that depend on mouse input using the Hollywood widget I've just released a hotfix solely for this issue. You can find RapaGUI version 2.2a now in the download section. Note that only the Amiga archive of RapaGUI has been updated since all other platforms are unaffected by this bug. So all Amiga users should redownload RapaGUI and install the new version.

Note that since the version number is 2.2 for both versions you need to check the date: RapaGUI 2.2 built on August 24th is the broken version, RapaGUI 2.2 built on September 10th is the good version

Code: Select all

- Fix [Amiga]: Mouse events didn't always work correctly when using Hollywood class and potentially other classes
