Big summer update
Two weeks ago I added new builds of Fabric, Surface, Colorspace and Darkstar to the download site. I did not make this public because I planned to fix all the kinks when I came home from vacation. but since some of you are probably struggling a bit, here is the lowdown on the new builds.
- Surface is now Darkstar FX (the old name was Surface GFX) Hopefully the JavaFX supporters do not come after me with pitchforks.
- Fabric is now Darkstar Layout
- DSI is now DSR (Darkstar Runtime)
- FX, Layout and DSR run under security policies (DSR.policy) which are NOT completely secure at this point.
- The security policy is crashing some parts of JFC. You can add the -Xinsecure flag to your exe file to fix this. *
- If you get a disabled "open" menu item, the fix is also to run under -Xinsecure.* Or you can just drag and drop.
- If you dislike the custom chrome on Windows Vista you can turn on the native chrome by adding the -Xchrome parameter. This is true for all Windows operating systems. Just check out the CMD files for more information.
- Mac users will find the example code and documentation inside the .app bundle.
- This build fixes the shared C library issue in Vista.
- The download page has yet to be updated, so the new builds are only available from the download list.
* Mac users must reconfigure Info.plist and Linux users mush reconfigure Teppefall.sh. Just remove the security manager parameter and the policy reference. Or simply grant AllPermission in the DSR.policy file.
