5.3.0.a06 – 20 October 2018

There was a code freeze implemented on 1st October 2018 to re-base and quality assure work done since August 14th 2018. Squirrel wished to ensure no regressions were added to the code, and several bug fixes were discovered in this time.

Code Freeze: QA Round 1.
Fixed unnecessary float->int conversion in animations as we do not need to worry about floating point co-ordinates anymore. (Jousway/Squirrel)
Fixed overflow caused by STBI, as Rage was still expecting archaic formats to be delivered to RageTextureManager, this has now been modernised. (Squirrel/Jousway)
Fixed rare Ogg Vorbis overflow introduced by increasing accuracy of timer. (Squirrel)
Fixed rare crash in D3D due to some integrated GPU’s not having RGB888/RGB444 support, and RageSurface not providing an accurate pixel format. (Squirrel)
Fixed OpenGL versioning not correctly reading MacOS’s implementation of GL Core Profile (Squirrel)
Modified OpenGL’s calling and texture allocation. (Squirrel/imakris)
Fixed MipMapping level and texture allocation, this now effectively gives us more linear control over how the screen is drawn in OGL. (Squirrel/imakris)
Fixed unnecessary call to modules that don’t exist. (Squirrel/Jousway)
Added more functions to GLATTER which allow for 4.x OpenGL init calls. (imakris)
Fixed regression in RageTextureManager that wanted GLUBuild2DMipMaps() specifically hardcoded for a backup that didn’t exist. This removed an odd state in the machine and stopped weird ‘skips’ on the screen on X windows. It had the benefit of enabling MacOS to enjoy 3.3 Core mode for the first time. (Squirrel)
Fixed many broken pointers and de-referencing of variables. (Squirrel/Jousway)

5.3.0.a05 – 28 September 2018

Use of file-based redirection (.redir) in themes are to be considered deprecated, and this practice is being removed from 5.3 default themes and NoteSkins to improve performance. They will remain within the engine to maintain backwards compatibility with existing and previous content. (Lirodon)
Fixed ScreenInit Animations. (Jose/Jousway)
Fixed Transitions for NextScreen. (Jose/Lirodon/Jousway)
Fixed Quad Bordering on ScreenInit. (Jose/Lirodon/Jousway)

5.3.0.a00 – 2 July 2018

This was our initial snapshot version. We pushed several new features to this version from our build of 5.0.x we began to work on. We refactored many pointers into streamlined areas and added GL3 to the engine, along with a new mode to enable modern practices. We consider this the beginning of the 5.3 branch, as by this point we had already changed much behind the scenes.
