v1.10.0 - March 14th, 2023#

See the announcement post for details on features.

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Starting with v1.10.0 we no longer ship our default assets within the assets/extensions folder. Instead, both engine and UIs now offer convenience addDefaultAssetSources endpoints, that selectively register asset sources, that serve our default assets. If you're actively using the example assets we shipped before v1.10.0, check the Serving Assets Guide for your target platform.

⚠️ Image uploads are no longer stored in the scene and will not reappear upon scene load. To offer specific assets in your editor, configure and add an asset source containing the desired assets.

Asset Management

  • CESDK: Removed presets configuration for images (presets.images). Please use the local asset sources to add single images, e.g. with AssetAPI#addAssetToSource.
  • UBQ: The applyAsset callbacks and defaultApplyAsset API now return an optional design block id in their callback if they created a new block
  • UBQ: Removed the required thumbUri and size properties from AssetDefinition and AssetResult. They are now stored under the thumbUri, width and height keys in the meta property dictionary
  • UBQ: Values of the blockType asset meta property must now be design block type ids (e.g. //ly.img.ubq/image)
  • CESDK: Removed the AssetElement, ImageElement, VideoElement and AudioElement types and replaced them with AssetDefinition
  • CESDK: The onUpload callback must now return an instance of AssetDefinition
  • UBQ: Renamed default upload source for images (ly.img.upload) to ly.img.image.upload to match naming of video and audio upload sources.
  • UBQ: Upload asset sources and library entries for video and audio were added to the default configuration from addDefaultAssetSources. If you have added these sources manually (like mentioned in our docs) you can remove it now.

General

  • CESDK: Fix text-alignment center and bottom not working properly since v1.5.0 for the case when a fixed frame size was used and the text exceeded the frame. This can cause text elements with a fixed frame and center or bottom text alignment, where the text exceeds the frame, to render differently than before.

APIs & Properties

  • UBQ: Renamed Audio's and VideoFill's specific looping, volume, and muted properties to share a common playback prefix:
    • 'fill/video/looping' and 'audio/looping' are now 'playback/looping'
    • 'fill/video/volume' and 'audio/volume' are now 'playback/volume'
    • 'fill/video/muted' and 'audio/muted' are now 'playback/muted'
  • UBQ: Deprecated the camera/clearColor property and replaced it with a global clearColor setting.
  • UBQ: Deprecated fill color related APIs in favor of a 'Fill' based approach
    • Deprecated hasFillColor, use hasFill and query block.getEnum(id, 'fill/type') for Solid type instead.
    • Deprecated get/setFillColorRGBA, use setFillSolidColorinstead..
    • Deprecated isFillColorEnabled, use isFillEnabled instead.
    • Deprecated setFillType and setFillGradientType, use createFill, e.g., with type 'color' and then apply the fill block with setFill to the block instead. If the block has a fill, it should be removed with getFill and destroy.
    • Deprecated getFillType and getFillGradientType, query block.getEnum(id, 'fill/type') and block.getEnum(id, 'fill/gradient/type') instead instead
    • Deprecated add/removeFillGradientColorStop and get/setFillGradientColorStops.
    • Deprecated get/setFillGradientControlPointX/Y, use block.getFloat(fill, keypath) and block.setFloat(fill, keypath, value) with key paths 'fill/gradient/linear/startPointX/Y', 'fill/gradient/radial/centerPointX/Y', and 'fill/gradient/conical/centerPointX/Y' instead.
    • Deprecated get/setFillGradientRadius, use block.getFloat(fill, 'fill/gradient/radial/radius') and block.setFloat(fill, 'fill/gradient/radial/radius', value) instead."

Non Breaking Changes

  • CESDK: Setting touchScrollingEnabled changed to touch/singlePointPanning
  • CESDK: Setting touchDragRequiresSelectionEnabled changed to touch/dragStartCanSelect (inverted truth value)
  • CESDK: Configuration ui.elements.libraries.replace.entries determines if a replace button will be shown for any block. If you have customized this configuration for images, you have to make this a function, check the argument for the selected block type, and only return your customization if an image is selected. Otherwise, you will see the replace button for non-image blocks as well. If you haven't customized this configuration you do not have to do anything. See documentation for further information.

v1.0.0 - Aug 18, 2021#

Breaking Changes

  • UBQ: Migrate to flexbox-based layouting
    • designElements are now serialized with base_props_version 6
    • block_position is now a struct with four values: json "block_position": { "version": 1, "left": { "version": 1, "unit": 1, "value": 18.0 }, "top": { "version": 1, "unit": 1, "value": 16.5 }, "right": { "version": 1, "unit": 0, "value": 0.0 }, "bottom": { "version": 1, "unit": 0, "value": 0.0 } }
      • Each value is a LayoutValue, where unit encodes whether it is an undefined, design unit, percent or auto
      • The example is therefore positioned 18 design units from the left & 16.5 design units from the top, right and bottom are undefined and therefore ignored
    • block_dimensions is now block_size: json "block_size": { "version": 1, "width": { "version": 1, "unit": 1, "value": 43.08553695678711 }, "height": { "version": 1, "unit": 1, "value": 64.61538696289063 } }
      • Consists of two LayoutValues encoding this elements size in either absolute design units, percent values relative to its parent or auto for auto sizing
    • The third dimensions, z-index & depth have moved into their own attributes block_z_index & block_depth along with has_block_z_index & has_block_depth. They just consist of float values.
  • CESDK: Made the initialization process more robust when dealing with large scenes. CESDK::load is now an async endpoint returning a Promise<void> that fulfills when the scene was loaded.
  • CESDK: Remove styled-components dependency
  • CESDK: Changed location of .wasm, .data, *.js files as well as the fonts and extension packs
  • CESDK: Added default font configuration (set defaultFont: '//ly.img.cesdk.fonts/roboto_regular' for the previous default. This needs the font extension pack installed)
  • CESDK: If fontPath is not specified it defaults to assetPath + 'fonts/' instead of just 'fonts/'
  • CESDK: Changed package name to @cesdk/cesdk-js
  • CESDK: Scale the text font proportionally when resizing a text element via its corner handles
  • CESDK: Create Text elements with auto height mode enabled
  • CESDK: Change 'Editor' role to 'Adopter'
  • CESDK: Element scopes are now false by default. Adopters therefore won't be able to interact with any element added by a 'Creator' user, unless the creator has manually enabled the corresponding scopes in the inspector.
  • CESDK: CESDK::save is now asynchronous.
  • CESDK/UBQ: CESDKScene is now part of UBQ, but old //ly.img.cesdk/scene IDs are mapped to //ly.img.ubq/scene block.
  • CESDK/UBQ: Changes scene format to //ly.img.ubq/scene, but still allows old format. Saving will create a scene file with the new format.
  • CESDK: Change token styling system and default themes
  • CESDK: Remove all old and unused CSS custom properties
  • CESDK: Add Text element option to hide lines outside of the frame
  • CESDK: Add Text layouting option for long word per-character line-break option
  • UBQ: Serializations are now base64 encoded
  • CESDK: Renamed effects and switched to only showing effects which were registered as an asset
  • CESDK: replace scene format selector
  • CESDK: Remove react as peer depedency for @cesdk/cesdk-js
  • CESDK: Changed public API surface
  • CESDK: draw fallback glyphs in text for codepoints that are not present in the font
  • CESDK: Removed the ly.img.cesdk.stickers.shapes extension pack
  • UBQ: Cleared default paths of CESDKVectorPath & VectorPath blocks
  • CESDK: Move Molle, Codystar & Lobster fonts into ly.img.cesdk.legacy-fonts pack
