iTorque 2d 1.5.1 Release??

#21 A "Lock Layer" would be really cool, in this way creating a touch GUI would be really simple.

#22 Things that have been taken care of so far:

1. Add root UIViewController
2. Fix rotation and portrait problems
3. Implement turn-based networking code

ITGB-295
Final getiPhoneKeyboardInput Crash Bug

ITGB-288
Universal App Rotation Bug

ITGB-144
Particle File Corruption

ITGB-145
Particles stop playing when off camera

ITGB-98
Clean up Xcode Warnings

ITGB-293
Orientation functions missing in template

ITGB-284
scripts/datablocks.cs has been removed from template projects, but is still looked for by system/projectManagement.cs

ITGB-278
Default project template game.cs script contains code specific to FeatureDemo

ITGB-266
Redefinition of EAGLContext in iPhoneOGLVideo.h

#23 By the way, the issue of a root UIViewController is fixed the "right way." There is no code bypass. The new project is actually using a .xib file and standard iOS project setup.

#24 ITGB-98
Clean up Xcode Warnings

That one was actually worse than I thought. We have Joe working on code cleanup. When he turned warnings up to full, he got enough warnings to make me feel ashamed. I haven't checked the recent count, but on his first day of working he managed to shave off about 900 warnings.

#25 I am very excited about this! I just hit a few bugs in a project that should be easy to fix with the new project structure.

#26 Hey Michael - do you think you can give us a heads up about how much effort it will be to convert a project to 1.5.1? I haven't done anything to the engine so that should help a bit. It will help me plan when to release the next game I'm working on.

Thanks!

#27 @micheal - I know I have been moaning about this for a while but have the touch input bugs that I have mentioned been fixed? and I would also like to find out about how difficult it might be to bring my 1.5 project over to 1.5.1?.

#28 It's a little early to fully determine what project migration would require. At a minimum, you will probably need to create a new project and copy your resources over (scripts, art, etc). For those who have made source changes, you would obviously need to hand merge.

@Jack-S- Are you referring to sprite buttons or GUI buttons?

#29 @micheal- all the problems I have had are sprite based button problems as I dont use the GUI system in any way shape or form at the momment.

#30 @Jack-S- As far as I can tell, the input issues all seemed to be resolved. However, to be 100% sure, I would need to a test case of some kind. If you are able to share your code and a sample level (no need to share art), it would help make certain the bugs are resolved. You can e-mail me for more information.

#31 Hi Michael - Is there an ETA on 1.5.1?

#32 @Mike - We are working on some fairly big changes in iTorque/Torque 2D. Mich and I decided today that we should probably release a preview to help reduce the wait time on bug fixes.

#33 @Eric - A preview would be great. That would help us reduce all the warnings we are receiving. Any idea when the preview will be available? Also, would I access it from the My Account/My Products area of Garage Games website?

#34 @Mike - 1.5.1 should be code complete next week. That leaves a quick QA preview pass, packaging and verification. The download would be available in your account page.

#35 Thank you,

Hope the 999+ warnings gone for good. Always happen when i debug on Xcode.

I love this tool "iTorque2d", but this warnings make me crazy .

Good work.

#37 Hey guys - any word on progress?

I'd love to see what you've got cooking.

#38 I'm curious about the progress of the 1.5.1 preview. Any ETA? Looking forward to it.

#39 @All - I don't provide ETAs. I probably will not ever provide an ETA myself. Anytime I have in the past, I was completely off. I can only tell you there is progress and what that progress might be.

Right now there is bottleneck that is preventing 1.5.1 from going through a review for a release (even if that is a preview). Once we can verify bug fixes and initial stability, then we can talk about a preview release.

#40 Great, hopefully the Preview can be used to submit games. IOS 5.1 is here and there's always a chance that this is when the old display format is no longer acceptable by Apple.
