1.2 Mobile Support pre-release

This is an exciting chance to try out the new mobile functionality and code against the new custom widget support before it is finally released later this year.

Prerelease

This is a prerelease and does not represent a complete solution to all the features listed below.
Still to be implemented before the 1.2 final release are:

• Keyboard support for iOS and Android
• Clipboard integration for iOS and Android

Added

• Mobile support - iOS and Android, including "fyne package" command

Changed

• New Logo! Thanks to Storm for his work on this :)
• Input events now execute one at a time to maintain the correct order
• FYNE_THEME and FYNE_SCALE are now overrides to the global configuration
• The first opened window no longer exits the app when closed (unless none others are open or Window.SetMaster() is called)
• "fyne package" now defaults icon to "Icon.png" so the parameter is optional
• Calling ExtendBaseWidget() sets up the renderer for extended widgets

Fixed

• Correct the colour of Entry widget cursor if theme changes
• Error where widgets created before main() function could crash (#490)

Please let us know how you get on using this release and report any issues you find so we can make a great 1.2 release.

v1.1 feature release

The 1.1 release of Fyne brings us a step closer to a complete cross-platform UI toolkit. We have new widgets and great enhancements to the look and feel of the overall platform that will make all apps built with Fyne look that much more attractive. We have also fixed over 50 bugs that help make these apps even more reliable than before.

The highlights of this release include new widgets:

• MenuBar and PopUpMenu
• Select (options) widget
• PopUp widget for custom overlays

We have added these user facing enhancements:

• Gradient canvas primitive
• Shadows and hover effects added to buttons and other widgets
• Text can now be selected
• Support moving through inputs with Tab / Shift-Tab
• Horizontal layout for Radio widget
• Added support for disabling widgets
• Allow scrollbars to be dragged
• Shrink scrollbars when not moving
• TabContainer tab location can now be changed to any edge
• Dialog windows now appear as modal popups within a window

And we have added cool things for developers:

• Add new “hints” build tag that can suggest ways to improve a GUI
• canvas.Capture() to save the content of a canvas
• Pointer drag event and desktop mouse move events
• A container with no layout will no longer influence the positions of it’s children
• Various fixes to window handling, sizing and widget layouts
• We updated the fyne_demo app to better show off the toolkit capabilities

The list of bug fixes is too long to include in these notes but you can find the details in our ChangeLog.

Fyne's first major release

The first release of Fyne marks a milestone for the project. We now have a stable and performant base API. Moving forward we are excited to add new features and enhancements that have been requested over the months of development.

The main features of Fyne at this time are:

• Canvas API (rect, line, circle, text, image)
• Widget API (box, button, check, entry, form, group, hyperlink, icon, label, progress bar, radio, scroller, tabs and toolbar)
• Light and dark themes
• Pointer, key and shortcut APIs (generic and desktop extension)
• OpenGL driver for Linux, macOS and Windows
• Tools for embedding data and packaging releases

The entire toolkit is developed using scalable graphics so that it looks clean and crisp on different devices and screen densities. This release only supports desktop applications but watch this space :).
