Cocos Creator 1.9.0 is a functional update to the recently released v1.8.2. It mainly adds support for Facebook Instant Games and QQ Play. It also improves the ease of use of the editor, fixes some of the functional flaws, and recommends that all development projects be upgraded.

The detailed changes are as follows:

Features

  • Support for Facebook Instant Games, [see Documentation] (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/docs/creator/manual/en/publish/publish-fb-instant-games.html)
  • Support QQ Play, [See Documentation] (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/docs/creator/manual/en/publish/publish-qqplay.html)

  • [Editor] In the scene editor’s Rect edit mode, support for dragging a node’s white space, easy to change the value of the anchor
  • [Editor] Added “Sync” button to the particle component’s Property inspector. Clicking Sync will set the Custom parameter to be the same as File. (Synchronize button is only available if you check Custom and set File)
  • [Editor] Adds scale property to Timeline to facilitate editing of both scaleX and scaleY
  • [Engine] PhysicsManager Adds FIXED_TIME_STEP and MAX_ACCUMULATOR Parameters

Bug Fixes

  • [Engine] [Web] Fixed an issue where the input box could not pop up in some MIUI browsers

  • [Engine] [Wechat] Fixes Failed to Use Remote Service Loading After iOS Wechat Mini Game Native Code Pack Exceeding 4MB

DEPRECATION

  • As of v1.8.2, cc.eventManager is no longer recommended. Use cc.EventTarget or cc.systemEvent instead. The original API will be removed in 2.0.
  • As of v1.8.2, cc.inputManager is no longer recommended. Use the same interface as cc.systemEvent instead. The original API will be removed in 2.0.
  • As of v1.8.2, dragonBones.CCFactory.getFactory is no longer recommended. Please use dragonBones.CCFactory.getInstance instead. The original API will be removed in 2.0.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • When copying and pasting resources in the Assets panel, the resource properties will still not be copied. (Since 1.9.0)
  • On a native platform, calling the action.easing(cc.ease***) method may cause the node’s logical data to be out of sync. Please use new cc.Ease***(action) instead. (Since 1.8.2)

QQ Play Known Issues:

At present, QQ Play is still in AB Test. Developers are also required to obtain internal beta qualification in order to develop, and currently only support compiling on Mac. In addition, our adaptation work on QQ Play has not been completely completed yet. The following modules are still not supported at present:

  • Label: ttf is not supported, system font can only use the default font
  • Particle system: Map data is not supported in plist. Only texture urls are supported.
  • WebView
  • VideoPlayer
  • DeviceMotion

The above functions are expected to be supported one by one in future updates. We will also continue to closely communicate with QQ Play’s engineers to continuously optimize the matching effect.

Is the socket problem on mobile app fixed? On web the connect url handshake contains the query parameter while in the mobile it is not. So i cant authenticate with jwt :slight_smile:

Let me ask the engineering team for clarification.

Can you try again for me? It had a wrong capital letter in the URL.

I don’t completely understand following:

On a native platform, calling the action.easing(cc.ease***) method may cause the node’s logical data to be out of sync.
Please use cc.ease***(action) instead. (Since 1.8.2)

Before:
cc.moveBy(1, cc.v2(100, 200)).easing(cc.easeBackIn());

Now (?):
cc.easeBackIn(cc.moveBy(1, cc.v2(100, 200)));

Doesn’t work for me and there are several strange things with this:
From type definitionexport function easeBackIn(): any;-> needs to return an ActionInterval to work as an async action e.g. together with cc.sequence().

Could you give me a code example on how this should be used now?

I will ask @pandamicro to explain this.

@pandamicro @jare: please explain how to use ease on native

@pandamicro is really busy, I have mentioned to him to view this thread. He will answer shortly.

@Ronsku @BugsKiller

Sorry if I kept you waiting. The suggested usage is

cc.moveBy(1, cc.v2(100, 200)).easing(cc.easeBackIn());

->

new cc.EaseBackIn(cc.moveBy(1, cc.v2(100, 200)));

The upgrade message is not clear, I will correct it.

I also want share some more about this issue, it actually cause your Node position / scale / rotation property lost sync with the native rendering node. For example, if you get the node position after the above action, you will get the position before the action, but it’s displayed at the final position of the action. To solve this, we can’t run native action system on native node, instead we should use pure js action system running on js nodes. This will be done in v2.0, which is in alpha testing now.

Hope this is clear
