1 – Release Notes
GeeXLab 0.29.9.0 is a maintenance release that brings minor bugfixes and new functions.
A new utility function is available for Windows only, that returns the temporary folder of an user (something like C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Temp).
temp_folder = gh_utils.temp_directory_path()
A new Lua library (gh_vk) has been added for the Vulkan renderer. The current gh_renderer contains all functions that deal with 3D APIs like OpenGL, D3D12 or Vulkan. But gh_renderer is getting a bit messy. So I decided to add a new library for dealing with Vulkan functions. In a Vulkan demo, gh_renderer is no longer required, only gh_vk is necessary. Of course, all Vulkan functions of gh_renderer are still valid.
Currently, gh_vk is not documented (updated on 2019/12/20: gh_vk is now documented), but a new Vulkan demopack is available HERE.
Here is the list of all gh_vk functions. I will work on the doc as soon as possible…
