1 – Release Notes
So far I published a single article / release notes for all versions of GeeXLab. Now I will test the opposite: an article for each version of GeeXLab (win64, linux64, macOS, rpi and tinkerboard).
GeeXLab 0.29.1.0 comes with an updated FFmpeg plugin (with FFmpeg 4.2.0 and SDL2 2.10) that works pretty well, especially with MP4 videos (FFmpeg is able to read a lot of video formats but MP4 are very common). ImGui has been updated to version 1.73 and ImageMagick to version 7.0.8-63.
OpenGL still works fine on macOS Mojave even if it’s deprecated. But as usual, and don’t expect improvements, OpenGL is limited to OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL 4.1. No more no less! Many graphics effects can be done with OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 4.1, so as long as Apple keeps OpenGL in this state, GeeXLab is happy!
This version of GeeXLab for macOS has an issue with keyboard keys: some keys (like LEFT/RIGHT CTRL) are not handled by GeeXLab (it’s an open issue and currently I have no fix) while other like SPACE are perfectly handled.
GeeXLab 0.29.1.0 for macOS has been compiled on an Mac-mini (late 2014) on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 with Xcode 10.3 (GeeXLab app) and clang 10.0.1 (all core libraries and plugins).
