[1.12.2-SNAPSHOT]
- [BREAKING CHANGE] GWT: Updated to 2.10.0. `com.google.jsinterop:jsinterop-annotations:2.0.2:sources` must be added as a dependency to your html project dependencies.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Android: Minimum API level is now level 19 (Android 4.4)
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Android, iOS: Exceptions occurring in Runnable tasks scheduled through Gdx.app.postRunnable() are no longer swallowed and will crash the app (add a protection if required).
- iOS: The iOS backend now implements AudioDevice. It can be configured through IOSApplicationConfiguration with audioDeviceBufferSize/audioDeviceBufferCount
- Fixed GlyphLayout for fixed width glyph offsets at the start and end of lines.
- Fixed scene2d.ui layout for fractional positions and sizes.
- LWJGL3: Added pauseWhenMinimized and pauseWhenLostFocus flags to Lwjgl3ApplicationConfiguration.
- libGDX is now built using Java 17 due to Gradle 8 requirements.
- New GDX Setup projects now use Gradle 8.4 and AGP Plugin 8.1.2 which require at least Java 17.
- Fixed Timer#stop, remember time spent stopped and delay tasks when started again. #7281
- Android: Add configuration option to render under the cutout if available on the device.
- Fix: Keep SelectBox popup from extending past right edge of stage.
- Added Framebuffer multisample support (see GL31FrameBufferMultisampleTest.java for basic usage)
- Fix: Fonts generated with gdx-freetype no longer bleed when drawn with a shadow
[1.12.1]
- LWJGL3 Improvement: Audio device is automatically switched if it was changed in the operating system.
- Tiled Fix: TiledLayer parallax default values fix
- API Addition: TiledDrawable: Align can be set to manipulate the alignment of the rendering (TiledDrawable#setAlign, TiledDrawable#getAlign)
- API Addition: TiledDrawable#draw: Also available as a static function (with align) if you don't want to create an extra instance per texture region
- Android: Removed mouse catching added on 1.12.0 due to unintended effects (see #7187).
- Android: Fixed touch state inconsistency when touching screen with 3 fingers on some devices (see #7256)
- iOS: Update to MobiVM 2.3.20
- API Addition: Using "object" property in Tiled object now fetches MapObject being pointed to, and BaseTmxMapLoader includes method for fetching map where key is id and value is MapObject instance.
- Update to LWJGL 3.3.3
- API Addition: Vector4 is just like Vector2 or Vector3, but with x, y, z, and w float components; a Vector4 can be passed as a shader uniform.
- Fix: Fix crash with ANGLE GLES renderer
- API Change: Use STBVorbis to decode ogg data for Sound
- API Change: Remove usage of deprecated tag on GL30
- Lower GLIBC requirements to 2.17 in order to support older Linux systems
- Fix: Fix setCursor releasing the caught cursor on the LWJGL 3 backend.
- Fix crash in ParticleEditor and Flame
- Fix bitwise precedence in ModelBatch#addMesh (float[] vertices, short[] indices)
- Improve the default font's compatibility with GL30
- Fix potential IndexOutOfBoundsException on AsynchronousAndroidSound
- API Addition: GwtGL20 & GwtGL30#glGetFramebufferAttachmentParameteriv

[1.12.0]
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Added #touchCancelled to InputProcessor interface, see #6871.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Android: Immersive mode is now true by default. Set `useImmersiveMode` config to `false` to disable it.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: Increased min supported iOS version to 11.0. Update your Info.plist file if necessary.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: `hideHomeIndicator` set to `false` by default (was `true`).
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: `screenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures` set to `UIRectEdge.All` by default (was `UIRectEdge.None`).
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: preferred FPS is now uncapped by default, see #6717
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: `ApplicationListener.create` and first `resize` are now called within `UIApplicationDelegate.didFinishLaunching`. Allows for earlier rendering and prevents black screen frames after launch screen. NOTE: App will get terminated if this method is blocked for more than 10-20 sec.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Actor#localToAscendantCoordinates throws an exception if the specified actor is not an ascendant.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] WidgetGroup#hit first validates the layout.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Cell getters return object wrapper instead of primitives.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] MeshPartBuilder#lastIndex now returns int instead of short.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] 3D API - max bone weights is now configurable and limited to 4 by default. Change this value if you need less or more. See #6522.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Mesh#getVerticesBuffer, Mesh#getIndicesBuffer, VertexData#getBuffer, and IndexData#getBuffer are deprecated in favor to new methods with boolean parameter. If you subclassed some of these classes, you need to implement the new methods.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Desktop: The return value of AudioDevice#getLatency() is now in samples, and not milliseconds
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: 32 bit (armv7) builds are no longer supported. Builds must be 64 bit (arm64) only.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] iOS: Use dynamic frameworks instead of static libs
- [BREAKING CHANGE] optimized Mesh#bind and Mesh#unbind have a new parameter for instanced attribute locations. If you use these methods without instancing, you can pass a null value.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Dropped support for older libc versions since libGDX is now built on Ubuntu 20.04 (#7005)
- [KNOWN ISSUE] Android drag behaviour. Gdx.input.getDeltaX() and Gdx.input.getDeltaY always return 0 for pointer 0. Fixed on next version.

- Added LWJGL 3 backend, see https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/3673 for more info.
- Added Graphics#getBackBufferWidth and Graphics#getBackBufferHeight for HDPI handling
- API Change: Added HdpiUtils. Instead of calling GL20#glViewport and GL20#glScissor yourself
please use HdpiUtils instead. It will ensure that you handle HDPI monitors correctly when
using those OpenGL functions. On HDPI monitors, the size reported by Gdx.graphics
getWidth/getHeight is in logical coordinates as dictated by the operating system, usually half
the HDPI resolution. The OpenGL drawing surface works in backbuffer coordinates at the full
HDPI resolution. If you pass logical coordinates to glViewport and glScissor, you only
affect a quarter of the real backbuffer size. Use HdpiUtils instead, it will do the right thing, while letting you continue to work in logical (aka returned by Gdx.graphics.getWidth/getHeight) coordinates.
- API Change: Graphis#getDesktopDisplayMode() has been renamed to Graphics#getDisplayMode() and
returns the current display mode of the monitor the window is shown on (primary monitor on
all backends except LWJGL3, which supports real multi-monitor setups).
- API Change: Graphics#getDisplayModes() return the display modes of the monitor the monitor
the window is shown on (primary monitor on all backends except LWJGL3 which supports real
multi-monitor setups).
- API Change: Graphics#setDisplayMode(DisplayMode) has been renamed to
Graphics#setFullscreenMode(). If the window is in windowed mode, it will be switched
to fullscreen mode on the monitor from which the DisplayMode stems from.
- API Change: Graphics#setDisplayMode(int, int, boolean) has been renamed to
Graphics#setWindowedMode(int, int). This will NOT allow you to switch to fullscreen anymore,
use Graphics#setFullscreenMode() instead. If the window is in fullscreen mode, it will be
switched to windowed mode on the monitor the window was in fullscreen mode on.
- API Addition: Graphics#Monitor, represents a monitor connected to the machine the app is
running on. A monitor is defined by a name and it's position relative to other connected
monitors. All backends except the LWJGL3 backend will report only the primary monitor
- API Addition: Graphics#getPrimaryMonitor() returns the primary monitor you usually want
to work with.
- API Addition: Graphics#getMonitor() returns the monitor your app's window is shown on,
which may not be the primary monitor in >= 2 monitor systems. All backends except the
LWJGL3 backend will report only the primary monitor.
- API Addition: Graphics#getMonitors() returns all monitors connected to the system. All
backends except the LWJGL3 backend will only report the primary monitor.
- API Addition: Graphics#getDisplayMode(Monitor) returns the display mode of the monitor
the app's window is shown on. All backends except the LWJGL3 backend will report the
primary monitor display mode instead of the actual monitor's display mode. Not a problem
as all other backends run on systems with only a single monitor so far (primary monitor).
- Added option to include credentials on cross-origin http requests (used only for GWT backend).
- Added option to specify crossorigin attribute when loading images with AssetDownloader (GWT), see #3216.
- API Change: removed Sound#setPriority, this was only implemented for the Android backend. However, Android itself never honored priority settings.
- API Change: cursor API has been cleaned up. To create a custom cursor, call Graphics#newCursor(), to set the custom cursor call Graphics#setCursor(), to set a system cursor call Graphics#setSystemCursor(). The Cursor#setSystemCursor method has been removed as that was not the
right place. Note that cursors only work on the LWJGL, LWJGL3 and GWT backends. Note that system cursors only fully work on LWJGL3 as the other two backends lack a means to set a specific system cursor. These backends fall back to displaying an arrow cursor when setting any system cursor.
- API Addition: Added Lwjgl3WindowListener, allows you to hook into per-window iconficiation, focus and close events. Also allows you to prevent closing the window when a close event arrives.
