Version 3.7
- Most uses of ConsoleMethod have been changed to use DefineEngineMethod. The old macros haven't been removed, and are in fact still used for variadic script functions, which aren't currently possible with the DefineEngineMethod macros. But be warned that there are a lot of changes in this area, which may cause conflicts if you've modified any of the console methods.
- James Urquhart's major console function call refactor has finally found its way in, which has meant significant refactoring to the way TorqueScript works under the hood, including new wrappers for console types. This has introduced some subtle bugs we've managed to find, but if you're relying on custom console methods and behaviour, we urge you to double-check those and make sure they still behave exactly as expected.
- A bug in quaternion math has been fixed, but you might find that code relying on the broken behaviour needs to be changed.
- There's a new version of the SimDictionary based on the C++11 STL hashmap. You'll find a commented-out #define in torqueConfig.h which you can enable if you like. According to the contributors, it's worth doing if you have a lot of SimObjects about at the same time.
- The projects.xml file is now part of the main repo, instead of being part of the Project Manager repo. Just so you know, and don't go looking for it there.
- isObject is now stricter about what's actually an object. Where before, the string "3.14" would be cast to the integer "3" and resolved to object ID 3, the whole string is now validated first, and if it's not a valid integer, it won't count as an object ID. (Note that the method still also accepts object names as usual.) This logic expands to other types of object resolution as well - so "3.14".getClassName() now won't work.
