minisphere 4.1.0
minisphere 4.1.0 is the first minor release in the minisphere 4.x release series, introducing a new CommonJS module, assert
, to the standard library.
Breaking Changes
- There is a new Standard Library module included,
assert
. It is based on
the Node.js built-in module of the same name, and includes most of the same
methods with identical semantics. - A handful of
system
object functions have been renamed and given simpler
names. Specifically:system.doEvents()
is nowsystem.run()
, and
system.restart()
is nowsystem.reset()
. - The Sphere Studio plugin now includes an option to display
ssj.trace()
output. Previously this output would always be invisible while using the GUI
debugger, with no way to show or even retrieve it.
Changes in This Version
- Adds a new module to the standard library:
assert
, based on the Node.js
built-in assert module. Unlikessj.assert()
, the functions in this module
throw anAssertionError
when an assertion fails. - Renames a few
system
APIs, giving them easier-to-remember names. - Adds an option to show
ssj.trace()
output while debugging a game with
Sphere Studio.
