🗒️ What's Changed

• Adds support for games that use Task instead of Thread.

Oozaru 0.5.0

Oozaru 0.5.0 introduces support for background loading of assets using the corresponding class constructor along with the new ready and whenReady() APIs.

What's Changed?

• Adds support for background-loading Font, Shader, Sound, and Texture assets via new, along with APIs to check when a background-loaded asset is ready for use.
• Fixes a bug where HTTP error codes are ignored when fetching files, causing requests for nonexistent files to succeed instead of throwing an exception.

Oozaru 0.4.2

This is a maintenance release for Oozaru 0.4. Oozaru is now compatible with non-Chromium browsers thanks to ES Module Shims.

What's Changed?

• Adds an overlay notifying the user they have to click to start the engine.
• Adds the ability to click in the rendering area or press a key to start the engine.
• Fixes an issue that prevented games using sphere-runtime from running in non-Chromium browsers.

Oozaru 0.4.1

This is a maintenance/bug-fix release for Oozaru 0.4.

What's Changed?

• Fixes a bug where Font methods would throw errors when passed non-string values for text.

Oozaru 0.4.0

This is the first official release of Oozaru. While the engine should still be considered beta-quality, it now supports enough of the Sphere v2 API that I consider it ready for larger-scale testing.

What's Changed?

• Adds support for loading Sphere v2 games with only an SGM manifest.
• Adds support for launching games targeting API level 3 or under, albeit with a warning message printed to the console.
• Adds a metadata file, oozaru.json, that external tools can use to identify the engine.
• Improves the file loader to show loading progress for more asset types.
• Renames BufferStream to DataStream and updates the implementation to match the one currently used in neoSphere.
