minisphere 4.5.5 is a maintenance release in the 4.5.x release series. This release switches from Babel to TypeScript for Cell's ES6 transpiler, greatly improving compile times over the past version. It also fixes a few bugs.

Changes in This Version

  • Changes the built-in ES6 transpiler (used by Cell's compiler module) to
    TypeScript, vastly improving compile times over Babel.
  • Fixes a bug where promise settlement causes an unexpected TypeError.
  • Fixes a bug where texture coordinates are not normalized for a Shape drawn
    directly to an off-screen surface (this also affected prim.blit()).

Installing in Windows

Simply download and run minisphereSetup-4.5.5.exe. The Inno Setup install wizard will walk you through the installation process.

Installing in Linux

For Ubuntu (14.04 and later), minisphere is available via personal package archive (PPA):

Installing from a PPA is easy. Simply open Terminal and run the following commands (you only need to do this once, Ubuntu will keep it updated automatically from then on):

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fatcerberus/minisphere
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install minisphere

Users of Linux distributions other than Ubuntu will need to build the engine manually from the tarball (minisphere-4.5.5.tar.gz).
