Other:
===============================================================================
Version 3.2.2
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added the Link shape class to fix the internal edge problem
- Exposed a set/get method for the BroadphaseFilter that is being used in the
World.detect method to give more control over the filtering during the
broadphase.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a small bug in the Segment class where the second normal was
incorrect, but was changed to the correct one during collision detection.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Small code clean up here and there.
- Updated copyright dates.
===============================================================================
Version 3.2.1
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added getAngularTranslation and getLinearSpeed methods to the WheelJoint
class.
- Added setLength method to the PulleyJoint class.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where the normals were rotated improperly for Polygon and
Segment shapes for local rotations.
- Fixed a bug with the Rectangle.getRotation method where it would report
the angle negative.
Deprecated:
- getJointTranslation and getJointSpeed on the WheelJoint class for
getLinearTranslation and getAngularSpeed.
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Updated samples to use a common base class for rendering and other stuff
to make the samples contain mostly dyn4j usage code.
- The WheelJoint's default frequency is now set to 8.0 by default for easier
use.
- The RevoluteJoint's default limits are set to the initial angle between
the bodies (the limit is still disabled by default).
- More javadoc updates.
===============================================================================
Version 3.2.0
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Performance improvements.
Bug Fixes:
Deprecated:
- Body.setMass() it was odd that it set the mass type to Mass.Type.NORMAL.
use the Body.setMass(MassType) method instead.
Breaking Changes:
- The Mass.Type enumeration has been renamed to MassType.
- The BroadphaseDetector interface has changed drastically.
- The three SAP algorithms have been replaced by one.
- The CollisionListener.collision(Body,Body) method has been removed due
to changes made to the broad-phase.
- The Body.getFixtures() method now returns an unmodifiable list.
- The World.getBodies() and World.getJoints() methods now return unmodifiable
lists.
- The Bounds interface changed to only include the Translatable
interface due to the some bounds types not supporting rotation.
- Many member variables and methods have been made final, package private and
private.
- Made a few internal classes package private.
- Many deprecated methods and classes have been removed.
- The Settings.ContinuousDetectionMode enumeration has been moved to its own
class file with the same name.
- Renamed the MouseJoint to PinJoint.
Other:
- Cleaner API with less classes, methods and members to sift through and more
interface options for extensibility.
- More & revised Javadoc comments.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.11
===============================================================================
New Features:
- A few minor performance improvements.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the raycast(Ray,double,boolean,boolean,List)
method where it was calling itself, causing a StackOverflowException.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Changed the Math.hypot calls to Math.sqrt since the former is much
slower. It's slower due to the overflow/underflow handling, which dyn4j
doesn't need.
- Added code to export Rays for the Java exporter.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.10
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added a new update(double, int) method to the World class that will
execute any number of steps given the elapsed time.
- Added get/set methods for the time accumulator on the World class.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the WeldJoint class when using two fixed angular velocity
bodies.
- Fixed a NPE bug in the World.detect methods.
- Fixed a bug in the EarClipping class where the decomposition would lead
to a colinear vertex situation.
- Fixed a bug in Bayazit class where it would select a closest vertex that
was not visible by the current vertex. Sadly, this has made it much
slower.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Updated license dates.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.9
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added a new interface, Triangulator, that both the EarClipping and
SweepLine algorithms implement that allows you to get a triangulation of
a simple polygon.
- Added a bunch of new detect methods to the World class to allow filtering
of sensor bodies, inactive bodies, or by a Filter object and some other
features.
- Added a new DetectListener interface specifically for the World.detect
methods that allow arbitrary filtering of collision tests.
- Added new raycast and convexCast methods that include a Filter and
ignoreInactive parameters.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the SweepLine class where it would get a NPE when there
were vertices who had close to the same y value (were sorted incorrectly).
- Fixed a bug in the EarClipping class where extra half edges were added
to the DCEL at termination that didn't need to be.
- Fixed a bug in the Interval.intersection(Interval) class where it was
performing the union rather than the intersection.
- Fixed a bug in the SweepLine class where it would enter an infinite loop
due to a poor sort condition during the decompose to y-monotone phase.
- Fixed a bug in the convexCast methods where it would exit early instead
of continuing to test other fixtures when false was returned from a
particular ConvexCastListener method.
- Fixed a bug in the Sandbox app where null would be output instead
of the correct body instance.
Deprecated:
- World.detect(AABB), World.detect(Convex), and
World.detect(Convex, Transform) have been replaced by with new
World.detect methods that have more input and output options.
Breaking Changes:
- The World.detect, World.raycast, and World.convexCast methods now filter
out inactive bodies by default (they were included in versions before).
Other:
- Regression JUnit tests for bugs listed above.
- Made a few small changes to some classes (added hashcode methods and
changes like this) that have zero effect on usage, output or
performance.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.8
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added the methods Body.getFixture(Vector2), Body.getFixtures(Vector2),
Body.removeFixture(Vector2), and Body.removeFixtures(Vector2) which allow
you to get/remove fixtures given a world space point.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the Vector2.distance(double, double) method (wrong since
1.1.0, yikes!). Thankfully its not used anywhere in the engine so no
regression.
- Fixed a bug in Body.applyImpulse(Vector2, Vector2) where the body would
not be awakened.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Regression JUnit test for Vector2.distance(double, double) method.
- Added documentation to the World.convexCast methods to explain the
limitation of the start of the cast (its a similar limitation as the
raycast methods).
- The Body.setLinearVelocity(Vector2) method now transfers the x,y values
of the given velocity to the body's velocity vector. This has no effect
on anything, except this way you can reuse the vector passed to this
method now (earlier it was doing a reference assignment).
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.7
===============================================================================
New Features:
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the Ellipse.getHalfHeight method where it was returning
the half width instead.
- Fixed a bug in the Ellipse.contains method where it would fail if there
was a local translation and a local rotation.
- Fixed a bug in the Graphics2DRenderer that would incorrectly render the
Ellipse shapes (this was why the above bug existed).
- Fixed a bug in the HalfEllipse.contains method where it would fail if
there was a local translation and a local rotation.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
- Had to remove the Ellipse.getPointClosestToPoint method due to an
incorrect assumption resulting in incorrect return values. The real
solution to this problem involves solving a quartic equation which
is typically done by a root finding algorithm.
Other:
- Regression JUnit test for Ellipse.getHalfHeight, Ellipse.contains,
and HalfEllipse.contains methods
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.6
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added a "slack" flag to the PulleyJoint to allow the constraint to be
applied only when the current length is greater than the total length.
To turn this feature on, use the setSlackEnabled method.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the Segment.getSegmentIntersection methods where it would
return an intersection point falsely.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
- Regression JUnit test for Segment.getSegmentIntersection
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.5
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added a new Capsule shape primitive.
- Added a new Slice shape primitive.
- Updated the createUnitCirclePolygon method to be more efficient.
- Added methods to generate polygonal capsules, slices, ellipses, and half
ellipses to the Geometry class.
- Added a new Ellipse shape primitive (GJK support only).
- Added a new HalfEllipse shape primitive (GJK support only).
- Added a Graphics2DRenderer class to the examples directory to show how to
render the shapes using Java2D. Some of the new shapes are difficult to
render properly due to local rotation and curved features.
- Added a new FallbackNarrowphaseDetector which uses FallbackConditions to
determine when to use a fallback NarrowphaseDetector rather than the
primary. This is useful when you want to use the SAT algorithm with the
ellipse or half ellipse shapes (fallback to GJK on these types). See the
SingleTypedFallbackCondition and PairwiseTypedFallbackCondition classes.
- Added equivalent instance methods for common Segment and line operations
to the Segment class.
- Added a couple of methods to do a fast radial expansion of a polygon.
- Added scaling operations to the Geometry class.
- Added Convex Casting to the World class. This also included a rework
of the Time of Impact and CCD code.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the Vector2.getAngleBetween method where it would return
an angle outside the range of [-pi, pi]
- Fixed a bug in the Gjk algorithm where a near zero vector was not being
caught, causing a false negative during collision and a false positive
in the distance method.
- Fixed some bugs in the JUnit tests (no real effect but still important
so that future releases do not impact existing functionality)
Deprecated:
- Body.setVelocity and Body.getVelocity have been replaced by
Body.setLinearVelocity and Body.getLinearVelocity respectively.
Breaking Changes:
- The addition of convex casting caused an overhaul of the Time of Impact
and CCD code. This could have breaking changes if you were hooking
directly into any of this functionality.
Other:
- Many more JUnit tests.
- Updated license dates to be consistent.
- Removed the TestBed code. You can always go get it from any version
tagged 3.1.4 or lower under the tags folder in SVN.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.4
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added a new feature to the Geometry class for flipping shapes about
an arbitrary line (defined as an axis and point).
- Not really a feature, but a createAABB accepting no arguments was added
to the shape interface for convenience.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug that was introduced in 3.1.3 where the average center was not
computed correctly since the vertex indexer was a 1 instead of an i.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
- The shape, fixture, body, etc ids were updated from string to their UUID
counter parts for better flexibility. However, if you were saving or
doing anything with the ids, that will need to change to something like
getId().toString().
Other:
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.3
===============================================================================
New Features:
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a major bug in the Polygon inertia calculation where it did not
take into account the local center. This in turn made multi-fixture
masses incorrect as well.
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
Other:
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.2
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added ids to ContactPoint objects to help track them.
Bug Fixes:
Deprecated:
Breaking Changes:
- The ContactPoint and subclasses now must take in a ContactPointId object
- The IndexedManifoldPointId class no longer has the setXXX methods
Other:
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.1
===============================================================================
New Features:
- Added detect methods to the World class to do collision detection on a
area bounded by an AABB or Convex.
- Added contains methods for bodies, joints and listeners to the World
class.
- Added the createSweptAABB method to the Swept interface. Used in the CCD
code to help cull collision tests.
- Added contains(Vector2) and contains(double,double) to the AABB class to
test for point in AABB.
- Added a addFixture method to the Body class that accepts density, friction
and restitution values for convenience.
- Added a contains(BodyFixture) method to the Body class.
- Added applyImpulse(Vector2), applyImpulse(double) and
applyImpulse(Vector2, Vector2) methods to the Body class.
- Added a getExpanded methods to the AABB and Interval classes. Added
intersection and getIntersection methods to the AABB class. Added a
getLength method to the Interval class.
- Moved getUserData to the Constraint class so that you can now assign a
user object to contact constraints.
- Added initial capacity parameters to the constructors of relevant classes
to help size internal structures appropriately for better performance.
- Added line and segment intersection methods to the Segment class
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the ContactConstraintSolver where if there were two contacts
and just one was disabled, it was still possible that they would both
be solved.
- The expand methods in the Interval and AABB classes would accept a negative
expansion amount. If the expansion was larger than the size, the interval
or AABB would be invalid. This has been fixed to return degenerate
versions (about the mid point) instead.
Deprecated:
- World class methods remove(Body,boolean), remove(Body), remove(Joint),
removeAll, removeAll(boolean), add(Body), add(Joint), and removeListeners
replaced with removeBody(Body,boolean), removeBody(Body),
removeJoint(Joint), removeAllBodiesAndJoints,
removeAllBodiesAndJoints(boolean), addBody(Body), addJoint(Joint), and
removeAllListeners respectively.
- RectangularBounds replaced with AxisAlignedBounds.
- Body class methods apply(double), apply(Force), apply(Torque),
apply(Vector2), and apply(Vector2, Vector2) replaced with
applyTorque(double), applyForce(Force), applyTorque(Torque),
applyForce(Vector2), and applyForce(Vector2, Vector2) respectively.
- ContactManager.isEmpty() replaced with ContactManager.isCacheEmpty()
Breaking Changes:
- The Step.update(double) method has been changed from public to protected.
- Changed the ContactConstraint to have a List of Contacts instead of the
Contact array.
- The Settings.setStepFrequency method has been changed to accept
1/frequency (1/60) instead of frequency (60) as before. In versions before
3.1.1 one you could pass in 60 and it would be automatically inverted.
- The Shape.rotate(double) method's purpose has been changed to rotate the
shape about the origin. A new method, rotateAboutCenter has been created
to replace the old functionality.
- The Broadphase detectors were returning a locally stored list that was
cleared and re-populated on the detect method. These methods now return
a new list each time. They now also return an empty list when there are
no collisions via the Collections.emptyList() method.
Other:
- Small performance enhancements via manual inlining of methods.
- Small performance enhancements via appropriate collection sizing.
- Small performance hit from returning a new list from the broadphase
detect methods.
- Small performance enhancement to DynamicAABBTree.detect methods by
changing the recursive search to a stackless iterative search.
- Small performance hit from returning new Penetration and Manifold objects
from the CollisionListener methods.
- The Settings class now allows any values one or greater for the velocity
and position constraint solver iterations. In addition any value greater
than zero can be used for the step frequency.
- Updated Javadocs for the convex shape classes with documentation on where
the center of the shape will be and general restrictions on construction.
- Updated Javadocs for all listener types to help aid understanding of
their use and pitfalls.
- Replaced the usage of the synchronized Stack class with ArrayDeque or
ArrayList to improve performance.
- Many more JUnit tests.
===============================================================================
Version 3.1.0
===============================================================================
New Features:
- MotorJoint - Best for character movement.
- Coordinate Shifting - For large worlds.
- AngleJoint ratio - For creating gears.
- Multiple listeners
- Runtime version checking
Bug Fixes:
- Added checks for bodies and joints already added to another world.
- Fixed a bug in the World.removeAll method where it would still report a
destoryed body even if notify was false.
- Fixed a bug in the Transform.setRotation method where it was set
incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug in the FrictionJoint class where the linear constraint was
not being satisfied.
- Fixed a bug in the MouseJoint class where it wouldn't work if the body
was FIXED_LINEAR_VELOCITY mass type.
- Fixed a bug in the World.getJoinedBodies and World.getInContactBodies
methods to only return one instance of a joined/contact body if it was
joined or in contact multiple times.
API Changes (breaking ones):
- The World.remove(Body) no longer automatically notifies of destroyed
contacts or joints. Use the World.remove(Body,boolean) method to receive
notifications.
- The entire listener scheme has been revamped to allow multiple listeners
of all types. There are new methods that replace all the old methods on
the World class: World.addListener, World.removeListener,
World.getListeners(class), etc.
- The Version class no longer has the version numbers public. Instead use
the getXXX methods. This allows runtime version checking of the dyn4j jar.
- The Force.isComplete and Torque.isComplete methods have changed to add an
elapsed time parameter. This allows better tracking of when a force/torque
is completed.
