Patreon 0.22.0.2 - Performance and Inputs

Added 2024-11-30 10:44:54 +0000 UTC

Dear patreons, today is release day and it's a big one. As you may have noticed, the build number jumped from 0.21 to 0.22 because of major additions and code overhauls across the platform.

Increased performance and reduced loading time

Released early November, .NET9 is the successor to .NET8 and has a special focus on cloud-native apps and performance. We've decided to join this version bump by focusing on performance and loading time. We've reduced both the CPU and memory footprint and decreased loading time by at least 2.5X.

Extended Inputs

Initially developed with the purpose of improving the gaming and inputs experience of users on handheld devices, 0.22.0.2 also brings a new feature to the inputs manager, the inputs shift. Available through our layout manager, inputs shift allows the user to define shift key to change the behavior of all their inputs when pressed.
