Change Log

Master

2.0.1 [2023-04-28]

Added

• Nothing, really. Just CocoaPods updates.
  Karl Voskuil

2.0.0 [2020-10-14]

Breaking

• Increased iOS deployment target to 12.0.
  Karl Voskuil

• For gesture targets: Taps and long-presses are now only offered to the top target in the scene; pans and swipes and their ilk fall through to the first target that handles them. This is a big change, but I'm hoping it fits the way gesture targets are already used. If this doesn't, let me know!
  Karl Voskuil

• Removed the previously-deprecated HLError.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• New methods to SKLabelNode category to reduce font size or truncate text to fit a width. Now we have a way to list "Barnaby Marmaduke...Usansky."
  Karl Voskuil

• Inertial scrolling in HLScrollNode. It is enabled by default; disable it by setting decelerationRate to 0.
  Karl Voskuil

• An optional size mode and "center rect" for HLTiledNode. The tile node previously sized itself exactly; now it can size itself to a minimum or maximum size (using a whole number of times). The "center rect" option splits the tiled node texture into a 3 x 3 grid of tiles -- like SKSpriteNode except tiling not stretching.
  Karl Voskuil

1.7.0 [2018-06-21]

Breaking

• Changes to the vertical alignment options provided by SKLabelNode+HLLabelNodeAdditions.h. I reparameterized my spiffy alignment code so that in place of a single combo mode there are now two separate modes: an alignment mode and a height mode. In theory, this was supposed to help me add some options to HLToolbarNode and HLLabelButtonNode...but that ended up a trip for biscuits. Still, the reconceptualization makes more sense. Sorry if it breaks your stuff. If we're lucky, all you'll have to do is change (for example) HLLabelNodeVerticalAlignFont to HLLabelHeightModeFont, and maybe use baselineYOffsetFromVisualCenterForHeightMode() for simple cases. If it's more complicated than that, please let me know! See how to use the parameterization in the brand-new "Alignment" demo scene in the Example project.
  Karl Voskuil

• Various so-called improvements to layout manager terminology, heedlessly and needlessly breaking things. The tableOffset is now called tablePosition; likewise for gridOffset, ringOffset, and outlineOffset. In the outline layout manager, levelNodeHeights is now levelLineHeights; levelSeparatorBeforeHeights is levelLineBeforeSeparators; and levelSeparatorAfterHeights is levelLineAfterSeparators.
  Karl Voskuil

• Change default easing functions for HLAction from cubic easing to sine easing. Much less aggressive, and closer to the SKAction easing, which is based on gentle cubic Bezier curves. (For example, SKActionTimingEaseOut is a cubic Bezier with control points (1/3, 1/3) and (2/3, 1).)
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• A new stack layout manager for one-dimensional layouts. The stack can fit nodes or fill space, can align its nodes individually, and can stack left, right, down, or up.
  Karl Voskuil

• A new parallax layout manager for layers of nodes that move at different speeds (giving a feeling of depth due to the parallax effect).
  Karl Voskuil

1.6.0 [2018-01-18]

Breaking

• Aaaaaaaaand it now appears HLHacktion is broken in iOS11. I have filed a radar (http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=5620643227762688) but it's not totally clear whether this is a bug or a feature.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• The ugly shuffler! HLUglyShuffler! It produces N different kinda random seeming shuffles of N different items. Successive items are calculated in constant time using constant space.
  Karl Voskuil

Fixed

• Fixed blind invocations of size on SKNode to something safer and 100% more compilable. Thanks @phpmaple.
  Karl Voskuil

Deprecated

• Replaced HLError with HLLog. Bad naming.
  Karl Voskuil

1.5.0 [2017-03-30]

Breaking

• Came to the painful realization that I'm developing two separate SKAction alternatives, and I need to name them differently. I think the new system deserves the name HLAction, and so I'm naming the old one HLHacktion. This is possibly the worst name I've ever given anything.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• Improved HLHacktion (formerly HLAction) interface and expanded its use-cases. The old thing was to provide encodable actions; the new thing is to provide perform-selector actions that don't retain their target strongly. At the same time I finally realized that the correct interface for these things is an class method interface parallel to the SKAction class method interface (for creating actions).
  Karl Voskuil

• Added new HLAction system as a stateful alternative to SKAction. The main goals are statefulness during encoding, loose coupling with the node, and extensibility.
  Karl Voskuil

1.4.0 [2016-10-28]

Added

• Lower deployment target minimum for iOS to 8.0.
  Karl Voskuil

1.3.0 [2016-10-18]

Breaking

• To register a node to receive gestures from the scene, call needsSharedGestureRecognizersForNode: rather than registerDescendant:withOptions:. (Option HLSceneChildGestureTarget has been removed.) This is because gesture-aware nodes can be automatically detected by the scene; the only thing the scene needs to do is to make sure it has the proper gesture recognizers added to the view. Hence, we're not registering; we're needing gesture recognizers.
  Karl Voskuil

• Remove HLToolbarNode show and hide functionality. Such code blongs in the controller, not in the node. You heard me, that's where it blongs.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• Port gesture target forwarding to macOS and NSGestureRecognizer.
  Brent Traut

• Implement basic UIResponder and NSResponder user interaction for major components.
  Karl Voskuil

• New HLGridLayoutManager for fixed-space grid layouts.
  Karl Voskuil

1.2.0 [2016-09-21]

Breaking

• Rename HLMenuNode property menu to topMenu. The old name conflicts under macOS with an inherited NSResponder property.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• Conditional compilation for macOS / OS X.
  Karl Voskuil

1.1.1 [2016-09-13]

Fixed

• Ensure umbrella header file contains all project headers. (This silences a warning from Carthage, which makes everyone happy.)
  Brent Traut

1.1.0

Breaking

• Add contentClipped option to HLToolbarNode. As in HLScrollNode, the result of clipping content is to add an SKCropNode to the internal node tree. The breaking change is the default: NO, which means the setting-tools animations in HLToolbarNode will look silly by default. However, keeping SKCropNode out of the node tree prevents a seeming multitude of problems when another crop node or SKEffectNode exist in the same scene as a toolbar.
  Karl Voskuil

• Remove HLTextureStore. It has proven not general enough for reuse. In the unlikely case you are upset by this, I will buy you a beer and code up a replacement.
  Karl Voskuil

• Drop support for iOS 7.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• Add support for Carthage.
  Brent Traut

• Add HLMultilineLabelNode. I know, I know, there are other implementations already freely available. But this one is mine.
  Karl Voskuil

1.0.0

Breaking

• Move the class category methods in SKSpriteNode+HLSpriteNodeAdditions to a category on SKNode, now in the file SKNode+HLNodeVisuals.
  Karl Voskuil

Added

• Implement in HLAction.h a number of encodable alternatives to block-related SKActions like runBlock: and customActionWithDuration:actionBlock:. These allow running custom animations through application state preservation and restoration.
  Karl Voskuil

• Conform a few more classes to NSCoding. Also, by convention encode delegates (for any class that has a delegate) using encodeConditionalObject:forKey:.
  Karl Voskuil

0.9.9

Added

• Make HLMenuNode accept different types of nodes as buttons: now, any node can be used if it responds to the correct selectors (currently size and setAnchorPoint:).
  Karl Voskuil

• Add content clipping to HLScrollNode, so that content outside the scroll node's overall size is cropped out (using an SKCropNode). See property contentClipped.
