Graphite v1.1.0 Release Notes

What's Changed

This release brings significant enhancements to the Graphite plotting engine with improved rendering capabilities, interactive controls, and major refactoring for better performance and maintainability.

🎨 New Features

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Draw Optimization - Implemented mesh caching system for points and lines, regenerating only when data changes
• Unified Rendering Pipeline - Refactored shader system for efficient rendering of both points and lines
• Update Tracking - Added state tracking to prevent unnecessary re-renders

🔧 Refactoring & Code Quality

• Plot2D Enhancement - Refactored Plot2D class with improved resource management using stack allocation instead of raw pointers
• Point Class Improvements - Enhanced Point class with size support, update tracking, and better mutability
• Organized Math Classes - Moved math classes to Resources/Math/Functions/ directory for better organization
• Simplified Examples - Updated all example scripts to use the new Plot2D interface and APIs

📦 Technical Details

New Classes

• Graphite:: Math::Line - Full line primitive with position, size, color, and update tracking

Enhanced Classes

• Graphite::Math::Point - Now includes size, update tracking, and mesh generation
• Plot2D - Supports both points and lines with unified rendering pipeline

Rendering Improvements

• Mesh caching with point_cell and line cells

Small patch

Graphite v1.0.1 — Patch release

Tag: v1.0.1
Base: v1.0.0
Target: main

Summary

Patch release with sandboxing, robustness fixes, renderer refactor, and documentation/assets updates.

Highlights

• Added sandbox mode to isolate script execution and hot-reload safely.
• Hardened CLI parsing and path handling (better unknown-flag messages, safer short/long flag logic).
• Script lifecycle (Init/Update/Draw/Destroy) can run in sandboxed child processes to prevent script crashes from killing the main process.
• Safer filesystem operations (create directories when needed, catch filesystem exceptions, better file existence checks and write error handling).
• Renderer refactor: AppRenderer now uses an iRenderer pointer and a templated renderFrame; implementation moved to header/impl.
• Documentation updates and new screenshots; funding metadata added.

What changed (concise)

• New/updated files: AppRenderer.hpp (new), docs screenshots, .github/FUNDING.yml, README updates.
• Removed AppRenderer.cpp (implementation moved to header/impl).
• Graphite::Graphite: flags map moved to std::string keys; path handling moved to std::filesystem::path; improved initFile behavior.
• ScriptLoader: checks and exception handling for last write time; safer dlopen/dlsym handling; removeModule() and module loading improved; added sandboxed execution around script calls.
• CLI: longFlags/shortFlags/detectPath signatures updated to (index, argc, argv) style and now emit diagnostics for unknown flags.
• CMakeLists updated to reflect source changes.

Fixes

• Avoid crashes when querying last_write_time by catching filesystem errors.
• Prevent accidental overwrites by detecting existing files and reporting write errors.
• Avoid loading modules when the compiled .so is missing; ensure modules are cleaned up on failure.
• Better diagnostics in verbose mode for sandbox failures.

Upgrade notes / possible breaking changes

• Header/API changes: function signatures (longFlags, shortFlags, detectPath, initFile) changed — recompile plugins/tools that rely on these exact signatures.
• AppRenderer interface changed (now uses iRenderer pointer and templated renderFrame) — update any code that depended on the old concrete AppRenderer.
• Sandbox mode runs script lifecycle methods in forked processes; scripts that rely on sharing process-global state or non-fork-safe resources may need adjustments. Use normal (non-sandbox) mode for maximum performance when scripts are stable.
• Regenerate build files and re-run CMake to pick up removed/added sources.

How to use sandbox

• CLI: -s or --sandbox to enable sandbox mode.
• Recommended workflow: use sandbox mode (-s) while editing scripts to prevent crashes; switch to normal mode for production/performance.
