Breaking Changes​

There are a couple of changes that may cause some minor refactoring. As part of this release the following changes are to be kept in mind:

  • Replace GetActionByTag with GetAction
  • Replace StopActionByTag with StopAction
  • Replace AlignItemsVerticallyWithPadding with AlignItemsVertically
  • Replace AlignItemsHorizontallyWithPadding with AlignItemsHorizontally
GetActionByTag -> GetAction
StopActionByTag -> StopAction

AlignItemsVerticallyWithPadding -> AlignItemsVertically
AlignItemsHorizontallyWithPadding -> AlignItemsHorizontally

You will need to replace these usages but should be very minimal other than function name changes.

Check it out & stay tuned for more to come!

- Fix for CCLabel Crashing
- iOS Font Texture Improvements
- Fix for DisplayStats on iOS

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 image

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 true by 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 false e.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.

This release sees some great improvements to the library!

Please note that this will be the final update under .NET 6. Updates going forward will be under .NET 7 as .NET 6 is end of life and this will allow better support with those working with .NET 8. .NET 7 allows the library to be on the latest version possible while still being able to support MonoGame.

You can expect the move to .NET 7 will occur as part of the first release for 2024. Following that update, there will also be a roadmap released to show the direction of the library and some of the amazing features that are coming up. 2024 should be a big year for cocos2d-mono and I can't wait to show off why at the start of the year!

That said, once MonoGame makes the move to .NET 8, plans to move to .NET 8 will also be made.
