* Fix rendering, gradient, sampling, etc issues on older GPUs
* Fix bug in `box_y` sdf function, which caused gradients to be split
into two bands incorrectly. Mostly a problem on lower-res screens.
* Use per-texture filtering instead of GL sampler objects on Linux,
especially for Mesa drivers that ignore min filter samplers.
This should help prevent blocky/pixellated things like emoji/avatars
* Improve rendering sharpness on low-DPI screens (icons, emoji, images)
On 1.0-DPI screens, emoji/SVG-icons/avatars were minified without
adequate sampling and SVG AA was sub-pixel, producing blocky/aliased
output. This reworks each path and adds optional full-window SSAA.
SVG icons (device-aware AA + round caps):
- draw_svg.rs/draw_vector.rs/render.rs: size the fill & stroke AA
fringe and the curve-flatten tolerance in DEVICE pixels (≈constant
regardless of icon size), so edges resolve via the analytic
d/fwidth coverage and curves stay smooth at any scale; re-tessellate
on scale change.
- triangulate.rs: thread the flatten tolerance through path fill/stroke.
- tessellate.rs: emit round caps as a solid disc (u=0.5) instead of a
radial fade that collapsed to a square at small sizes.
- widgets/icon.rs: don't clip the Icon to its Fit bounds, so round
caps that extend past the box render fully instead of being sheared.
Emoji:
- glyph_raster_image.rs/rasterizer.rs: rasterize color emoji near the
on-screen size with an alpha-weighted box downscale (geometric-mean
scale factor) instead of the font's native PNG strike.
Images / avatars (mipmaps):
- image_cache.rs/texture.rs/draw_list.rs/lib.rs: optionally emit a CPU
mipmap chain (VecMipBGRAu8_32) for non-animated images so minified
avatars/thumbnails sample cleanly. Env-gated MAKEPAD_IMAGE_MIPMAPS;
default on for GL on Linux.
- metal.rs: real per-level mip upload. d3d11.rs/vulkan.rs/web_gl.rs:
safe single-level fallback (no crash; real mips TODO).
Full-window supersampling (optional):
- window.rs: render the whole UI into an offscreen target at
MAKEPAD_SUPERSAMPLE× device resolution and downscale-resolve into the
window. Default 2×, env-tunable, 1× disables. Modeled on the existing
GaussStack render-to-texture path.
* don't unconditionally enable supersampling SSAA of 2x by default
it's too expensive and too slow for most older devices
* cleanup, reduce comment verbosity
* improve SVG anti aliasing
* Windows: fix laggy/juddery scroll performance
- Pace the render loop to the display refresh using a DXGI frame-latency
waitable object and present with vsync, replacing the free-spinning,
uncapped Poll loop that caused uneven scroll cadence.
- Coalesce consecutive WM_MOUSEMOVE messages and paint once per loop pass
to stop the judder when moving the mouse during fling deceleration.
- Cache get_dpi_factor() and the WM_NCHITTEST WindowDragQuery result to
avoid per-mouse-move GetDeviceCaps syscalls and widget-tree hit-tests.
- Throttle XInput/DirectInput polling of empty/disconnected controller
slots, which was stalling the UI thread.
- Rework the momentum fling to a native exponential model with a
frame-interval EMA, and stop the tail auto-scroll from fighting an
active fling/drag.
- D3D11: update the glyph atlas and image textures in place via
UpdateSubresource instead of recreating them on every change, and
spread D3D11 shader-object creation across frames.
- Slug atlas: only force a full re-layout on a width change; append rows
on height growth.
* Windows: correctness fixes from review (off the scroll hot path)
- d3d11: close the DXGI frame-latency waitable HANDLE in Drop (it was
leaked once per main-window lifecycle and the field comment was wrong);
keep popup swap chains at frame-latency 1; track the waitable-swapchain
flag for ResizeBuffers instead of inferring it from the handle; present
without the vsync interval during a live resize.
- windows.rs: poll game input on the idle signal tick so a gamepad button
can be serviced while the app is otherwise idle.
- win32_window / window: invalidate the WM_NCHITTEST / WindowDragQuery
caches on window move and on a caption relayout, with a generation
counter guarding against a reentrant invalidation being clobbered.
- windows_game_input: detect a controller already plugged in at launch via
a one-shot full scan on the first poll, probe slot 0 (Player 1) first,
and offset the DirectInput enumeration so it never stacks with the
XInput probe.
- comment/doc corrections.
* Image cache: accept any Arc<D: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized> for async image data
The load_image_from_data_async family required Arc<Vec<u8>>, forcing callers
that already hold the bytes as Arc<[u8]> (e.g. a content-addressed media cache)
to copy the whole buffer via .to_vec() just to satisfy the type. Generalize the
data parameter to Arc<D> where D: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized, so those callers can pass
their existing Arc by refcount-clone with no byte copy. The decode path only ever
borrowed the bytes (&[u8]), so this is purely a signature relaxation; existing
Arc<Vec<u8>> callers are unaffected (D = Vec<u8>).
* Linux: GL glyph-atlas in-place texture update + X11/Wayland mouse-move coalescing
* Scroll: unified fling model + native trackpad momentum deceleration
Share one kinetic-scroll model between PortalList and ScrollBar (and thus
ScrollXView/ScrollYView/ScrollXYView) via a new widgets/src/scroll_motion.rs:
- Touch-drag flicks use an iOS-style exponential self-decay, frame-rate
independent via a per-frame integrator with dt smoothing.
- Trackpad scrolling applies the OS momentum directly while fast (responsive,
full native speed), then hands off to a gentler self-decaying tail once it
slows past a threshold, so the deceleration is longer and smoother than the
OS's short, choppy tail. Handoff is seeded at the current speed for a
continuous transition; the seed is clamped against degenerate event timing.
- Add ScrollPhase to scroll events, mapped from NSEventPhase/momentumPhase on
macOS and wl_pointer AxisStop on Wayland; None elsewhere (wheels/X11/Windows
behave as before). MAKEPAD_RAW_TRACKPAD_MOMENTUM=1 bypasses the smoothed tail.
- A press catches an in-progress fling (stops the scroll, consumes the press so
it doesn't also activate a child), matching iOS/Android/macOS.
* Shader codegen: prefix Metal/WGSL locals to avoid reserved-word collisions
The Metal/WGSL backends emitted user-declared shader locals verbatim, so a
local named after a reserved type keyword (e.g. `half`) produced invalid
shader source and failed to compile at runtime. Prefix them with `l_` like the
HLSL/GLSL backends already do.
* TextFlow: don't panic on unbalanced HTML close tags
end_code/end_quote unwrapped the area stack, so a stray `</pre>` or
`</blockquote>` in untrusted content (e.g. a chat message) panicked. Return
early instead, and drop a vestigial per-list-item area-stack push that leaked
an entry and could hand a stray close tag the wrong block's area.
* Scroll: expose fling decel, handoff threshold, & tail-decel as `#[live]` fields
This allows app devs to override the scroll feel per-widget in the DSL,
or globally by overriding the base widget's defaults — verified that a DSL
override takes effect.
* Windows: fix frame pacing, paste crash, and wheel input backlog
- Wait on the frame-latency waitable right before each window's vsync
present instead of on every Paint, so input no longer stalls behind
waits that have no matching present. Drain leftover credits after a
live resize.
- Pasting when the clipboard has no text no longer panics.
- The poll loop now handles up to 32 messages (2 ms) per frame and
merges consecutive mouse-wheel messages, so fast wheels can't build a
backlog that keeps scrolling after the gesture ends. Sleep 1 ms when a
frame presents nothing so animation polling doesn't spin a core.
* Image: don't build unused mip chains; fix stale images in recycled widgets
- Only build the CPU mip chain when a backend actually uploads it
(Metal, behind its env var), and build it on the decode thread instead
of the UI thread. Linux GL still gets its mipmaps via glGenerateMipmap
and now retains less CPU memory per image.
- Recycled Image widgets no longer show the previous item's image or
apply an old decode result. Placeholder textures set via set_texture
(like blurhashes) stay visible while the real image decodes, and a
failed load clears the widget instead of leaving old content up.
* Widgets: avoid needless caption redraws; cheaper PortalList height tracking
- Label::set_text does nothing when the text hasn't changed, and the
window caption title is only synced when it actually changes, so mouse
moves and animation ticks no longer redraw the whole window every
event. The caption centering padding requests its own redraw now.
- PortalList records item heights only when new or changed, and only
re-applies the default height after it drifts by half a pixel, so big
lists don't walk every unmeasured item on every scroll frame.
* Text: cache layouts of long texts; stop cloning glyph outlines every frame
- The layout cache now accepts texts of any length (long messages and
code blocks used to re-layout on every scroll frame). It is a real LRU
with a byte budget on top of the entry cap, and texts drawn in the
current frame are never evicted, so one heavy frame can't thrash the
cache into a permanent miss cycle. The shaper cache is LRU now too.
- Glyph outlines are shared via Rc, so drawing a cached glyph no longer
copies its command list, and outline complexity is computed once when
the outline is built instead of every frame.
* Html: fix stale links/spans in recycled widgets and <details> renumbering
- set_text only rebuilds when the content actually changed, so a
recycled link can't open the previous message's URL, and re-setting
identical content keeps the user's <details> open/closed state.
- Custom widgets and <details> are keyed by their node index instead of
a visit-order counter, so toggling a collapsed <details> can't
renumber the widgets after it and rebind them to the wrong nodes.
item_with_scope also recreates its widget when the template changes.
* Linux: fixed-distance wheel scrolling; Wayland frame-callback pacing
- Wheel scrolling moves a fixed 60 px per detent on X11 and Wayland
instead of a timing-based guess that flipped between 12 px and 240 px
depending on how events batched. Wayland reads real detent counts via
AxisValue120 (wl_seat v9, with AxisDiscrete as the older fallback) and
maps keymaps MAP_PRIVATE as v7+ requires. Touchpads are unchanged.
- Wayland frames are paced with wl_surface frame callbacks and swap
interval 0, so redrawing a hidden or minimized window can no longer
hang the whole app inside eglSwapBuffers (compositors withhold frame
callbacks for hidden windows). Windows with a callback in flight skip
presenting and stay dirty; X11 keeps vsync exactly as before.
* Text: bigger layout cache budget, reclaimed at the end of each frame
A maximal ~60 KB message lays out to roughly 4 MB of glyphs, so the 4 MB
budget couldn't hold even one alongside a normal screen. Raise it to
16 MB, and run eviction at the end of every frame so memory over the
budget is freed one frame after its content leaves the screen, instead
of lingering until some later layout happens to insert a new entry.
* Fix oversized uniform slices: the array lengths were in bytes, not f32 elements
* Wayland: flush buffered mouse motion before scroll events, and drop motion for closed windows
* GL: fall back to non-mipmapped filtering when glGenerateMipmap fails on strict GLES3 drivers
* Text: bucket emoji raster scales so zooming reuses atlas slots instead of re-decoding every step
* Image: add has_content() and record texture provenance on cache-hit loads too
* Scroll: native trackpad momentum, Chrome-model bounce; presses catch motion, never click children
* Dock: redraw the newly selected tab immediately when the active tab is closed
* Html: standard link colors with pressed precedence; skip re-parsing unchanged text; color setters
* Image: don't redraw on cache-hit loads of the already-bound image (per-draw reloaders looped forever)
* Scroll: log macOS momentum-end phase bits to check Cancelled (touch-cut) vs Ended (natural fade)
* Scroll: momentum state machine; flicks survive pagination; edge sentinels & once-per-frame actions
* Scroll: remove the MAKEPAD_SCROLL_DEBUG diagnostics
* Scroll: time-based fling velocity window; pointer fan-out guard; parked flings survive pagination
* PortalList: optional reached-start/end margins (Some(0) default); repositioning re-announces the edges
* Linux/Wayland: honor UI zoom across window resizes; scale caption bar with zoom
Keep the wayland-side window geom in native units so the zoomed dpi isn't
read back as "native" on the next Configure — UI zoom no longer resets or
flickers on maximize/tile. Also let the caption bar height scale with the
zoom (pin to native only on macOS, where the buttons are OS traffic lights).
* Windows: D3D11 fixes for drawlist mgmt
trying to help with the `new_batch` bugs
* draw_list.rs — `set_zbias` now returns whether it changed
* d3d11.rs — uploads draw_call_uniforms on the given condition:
`uniforms_dirty || zbias_changed || buffer.is_none()`
and the zbias advance is hoisted above the early-continues
* Scroll: hard flicks carry farther and boost on re-flick; iOS-style touch rubber band with per-edge bounce gating; Android fling spline behind a flag
* Splitter: redraw both pane subtrees on drag; cached views keep fresh fixed sizes in the dirty check
* iOS: re-deliver window-geometry changes dropped by re-entrant UIKit callbacks; Init only ever from the first draw
* final cleanup fixes. Ensure all examples, experiments, `studio` all work
* Image: skip re-parsing an SVG that is already shown, keyed on the caller's shared bytes
* CachedView: fix upside-down offscreen texture on GL/GL-ES
GL/GL-ES store offscreen FBOs bottom-up, unlike Metal/D3D/WGSL.
The DSL->script-shader migration switched the CachedView composite to plain
.sample() (non-flipping sample2d on GL), so cached views rendered
vertically mirrored on GL/GL-ES; Metal was fine on macOS.
Add a `sample_rt` script sampler (emits the V-flipping sample2d_rt on
GLSL, plain no-flip sample elsewhere) and use it in the CachedView and
CachedRoundedView composites.
* Fix `AdaptiveView::redraw()` to actually do something
* ft makepad_test
* Improve run handling, manifest parsing, and stdout newline
Replace dynamic free-port lookup with an ephemeral localhost SocketAddr in test runtime and remove the unused find_free_listen_address helper. Ensure headless stdout messages end with a newline. Simplify send_to_app error handling and add a test that queued bootstrap messages are delivered once an app socket connects. Substantially enhance process_manager: unify cargo flag parsing, parse Cargo.toml to determine package/bin targets, resolve the correct binary name for direct stdio runs, and build the cargo/build+exec script from the resolved args. Add unit tests for manifest parsing and script generation and adjust related call sites.
* test harness
* Preserve test attrs; return Vec for gateway binds
In the test macro (libs/makepad_test/macros/src/lib.rs) preserve wrapper-only attributes (ignore and should_panic) on the generated wrapper test while removing them from the inner function. Added Attribute import, is_wrapper_only_test_attr helper, adjusted attribute filtering and emission, and added unit tests to verify attribute placement and expansion.
In the hub (studio/hub/src/hub.rs) change gateway_bind_candidates to return a Vec<SocketAddr> instead of an iterator and special-case ephemeral port 0 to preserve ephemeral binding; otherwise collect the range of candidate ports into a Vec. Added tests to validate candidate behavior. Also minor formatting/whitespace tweaks and a small IPv6 formatting adjustment.
* Add visible Studio mode and remote client
Enable running UI tests visibly through a running Makepad Studio. Adds a new makepad-network dependency and studio_remote client (libs/makepad_test/src/studio_remote.rs) and integrates it into the runtime via a TestConnection enum. Introduces visible-mode tooling: env vars (MAKEPAD_TEST_VISIBLE, MAKEPAD_TEST_STUDIO, MAKEPAD_TEST_STUDIO_MOUNT, MAKEPAD_TEST_STARTUP_DELAY_MS, MAKEPAD_TEST_ACTION_DELAY_MS, MAKEPAD_TEST_KEEP_OPEN_MS), pacing/delays after actions, and pause-before-shutdown. Splits startup into start_headless_app/start_visible_app, clears existing visible builds before launching, and updates tests, docs (GUIDE.md, README.md), and selector/runtime minor cleanups/formatting.
