* We don't consider anything else, this includes permissions or the
library being present. Since we no longer expect to patch in the
library we also don't check its version (however we leave the tag in
case it is useful in the future).
* If the user has root access we will never warn, assuming the injection
will work fine even without the debuggable flag.
* Initially add support for spirv-cross and spirv-dis.
* When possible we'll auto-detect the tools in path or in the build's
plugins folder. Otherwise the user can add it and add their
executable path.
* We still use the first disassembler for editing - in future it would
be good to allow selecting the disassembler at edit time (as well
as allowing multiple compilers).
* Mostly used for passing a progress float back during a long blocking
call like opening a capture or doing a copy.
* This is much more feasible for python to bind to.
* In several cases we just use a tiny lambda that updates a float anyway
since we can't push the progress directly into a progress dialog, but
need to let it query from a temporary in-between float.
* The main addition here apart from some extra stubs is a new rdc type
for date time objects.
* Although the module doesn't do anything and is only used for docs
reflection it is desirable to not have to link against Qt as this
can cause problems when linking the module without unresolved symbols.
* These .py wrappers are relevant for the non-builtin path, but since we
use -builtin they serve no purpose except to make things more complex.
* So instead we make the module directly exported as 'module' instead of
'_module'.
* On windows there's no conflict because we have renderdoc.dll vs
renderdoc.pyd. On linux it's librenderdoc.so vs renderdoc.so.
* To prevent supporting files like .lib / .pdb from conflicting on
windows we build the python modules into a subdirectory. They're not
ever used by the UI (it links in the bindings directly).
* We split the "update available" off to a top-level menu item, instead
of a sub-item under Help. This gives explicit text saying an update is
available.
* Change the icon from an hourglass to a slightly more 'updatey' image.
* We now re-cehck every week even if an update is marked available. That
way people who delay for longer than it takes to release a new version
will get the latest when they do update. It also gives them a reminder
every week so that hopefully those delayers will be less common!
* We enforce a naming scheme more strongly - types, member functions,
and enum values must be UpperCaseCamel, and member variables must be
lowerCaseCamel. No underscores allowed.
* eventId not eventID or EID, and Id preferred to ID in general. Also
for resourceId.
* Removed some lingering hungarian m_Foo naming.
* Some pipeline state structs that are almost identical between the
different APIs are pulled out into common structs. Where something
doesn't make sense (e.g. viewport enable for vulkan) it will just be
set to a sensible default (in that case always true).
* Changed scissors to be x/y & width/height instead of sometimes
left/top/right/bottom
* Abbreviations are discouraged, e.g. operation not op, function not
func.
* Now you can build the python modules without building the full UI,
which is mostly useful for docs builds so we can do a minimal compile
and still generate the docs.
* The UI dialog is now in Qt. We run qrenderdoc.exe with a very minimal
startup to display the dialog and send the report.
* The flow has been simplified to have less text and an easier time to
just click through and send.
* On the first report, the user is gently nudged to enter their email
address for contact and by default the email is saved for next time.
They're not nagged more than once about this.
* Optionally the user can select to upload the capture. This is always
default off, and there is a confirmation dialog making sure the user
intended to select it.
* After the bug is reported, a unique URL is generated and returned
which the user can then click back on to see if there's any update. By
default the UI will also remember the URL and check it every couple
of days and alert the user in the help menu that there's an update.
* We search first in specified folders by the user (they can browse to
the android SDK and java JDK).
* If the tools we want aren't found there, we look relative to the UI
as we now distribute the required tools with windows builds.
* If we still don't find them, we prefer to look in PATH since the user
has 'opted in' to any tools found in there. If the tool isn't in PATH
either then we look relative to known environment variables.
* This will enable the last few python list emulation functions, like
index (which needs operator== to find objects) and sort (which
obviously needs operator< to sort).
* This is to support python bindings - the pyside implementation of
QVector, QString, etc is not available to SWIG, so SWIG treates these
all as opaque types.
* Rather than trying to set up bindings that work for rdcarray and
QList/QVector, or implementing separate bindings, we instead just say
that the public interface must use the rdc types. In most cases they
seamlessly convert to/from Qt types anyway.
* In a couple of places we use an array of pairs instead of a map. In
future we probably want an rdcdict or rdcmap with proper dict bindings
in python.
* This is a *very* light-touch analytics system that will track the
simplest and most anonymous statistics that can be useful in
determining which features are most used or perhaps underused, and
where it's best to direct development attention.
* It is entirely implemented in the UI layer, no analytics-gathering
code exists in the library that's injected into programs, and of
course no capture data (screenshots, resource contents, shaders, etc
etc) is transmitted.
* Once it's turned on, it will apply to both development and release
builds. It tracks stats over a month, and then at the beginning of a
new month it sends the previous data.
* When the user first starts up a build with analytics if there's no
previous analytics database then they are informed of the new code and
asked to approve it. They have the option of selecting to manually
verify any sent reports, or just opt-ing out entirely.
* Previously once we started loading a capture we'd blindly continue
until we loaded it (and then it's assumed to be successful), or we
crash.
* Now errors can be reported during serialisation and bubbled up to
abort the file load process. The next steps are to add error checking
in each function serialise before doing any replay calls to the API
with potentially corrupt data, and on top of that catching API-only
errors when the serialisation is (seemingly) fine, and propagating
those in a reasonable way.
* We also harden the serialisation a bit so that if it reads an
obviously invalid byte length for a buffer or array count, it won't
continue. It's still not perfect as the sizes could still be large and
invalid but within range, but it should catch the worst cases.
