Core Library
This will only have the MonoGame Framework dependency and not the MonoGame Content Builder Task.
The benefits for these Core libraries are speed improvements to compilation and resolves an existing vulnerability that exists within MonoGame.Content.Builder.Task
The downside to this is assets will need to be built manually prior to compilation, either via command line using the dotnet tool or the MGCB Editor.
CCTextLineBreakMode
Introducing new LIne Break Modes for CCLabelBMFont & CCLabel:
public enum CCTextLineBreakMode
{
SmartBreak,
WordBreak,
CharacterBreak,
NoBreak
}
Word Break
Break string lines by words
Character Break
Break string lines by characters
Smart Break (Default)
Combination of Word and Character breaks. Makes best determination for line break.
No Break
Line has no breaks. Just one line continuous string.
Note
LineBreakWithoutSpace will be deprecated in a future release.
This release introduces some changes around usages of RemoveFromParent, RemoveChild and RemoveAllChildren.
First RemoveFromParentAndCleanup and RemoveAllChildrenWithCleanup have been removed in favor of simply passing in a cleanup parameter, which is now
trueby default. This mirrors the same behavior as before but without needing to explicitly call RemoveFromParentAndCleanup and RemoveAllChildrenWithCleanup.For example, m_plabel.RemoveFromParentAndCleanup(true); would now look like m_plabel.RemoveFromParent();.
You can see that this helps to streamline the usage and cleanup will always be performed unless explicitly necessary by passing in
falsee.g. m_plabel.RemoveFromParent(false);.This also reduces any confusion on whether RemoveFromParent or RemoveFromParentAndCleanup should be called. It is simply just RemoveFromParent in every case and just specify if cleanup is needed.
Check it out & stay tuned for more to come!
