Release 2.5.0 ...

OK, I got a green light from two groups (Windows, Linux + MacOS).

Only the MacOS OS Menu issue is not investigated,
but unsure if we are the culprit here.

Let's see what else we get ... (reports)

Thanks for JOGL v2.5.0-rc-20230813. I just tested it successfully with Sweet Home 3D 7.2 in the following environments:

- Zulu OpenJDK 11.0.13  / Windows 11 / amd64
- Oracle Java 1.0.8_202 / Windows 11 / amd64

- Zulu OpenJDK 17.0.6  / Windows 10 / amd64 (under Parallels Desktop)
- Oracle Java 1.0.8_202 / Windows 10 / amd64 (under Parallels Desktop)

- Zulu OpenJDK 19.0.2 / macOS 13.4.1 / arm64
- Zulu OpenJDK 15.0.10 / macOS 13.4.1 / arm64

- Zulu OpenJDK 19.0.1 / macOS 13.4.1 / x86_64
- Zulu OpenJDK 15.0.10 /  macOS 13.4.1 / x86_64
- Oracle Java 1.0.8_202 / macOS 13.4.1 / x86_64

- Zulu OpenJDK 15.0.10 / Mac OS X 10.9 / x86_64 (under Parallels Desktop)

No more Intel Mac running under macOS 10.13.6. I fear it died.

As said a few days ago, one user reported the 3D view didn't work correctly for him compared to previous JOGL versions. I hope I can investigate further his problem tomorrow, but don't feel obliged to wait for me.

Great, thank you Manu.

If your user would be willing to run a few tests - perhaps directing her/him to this forum,
that would help - if not for 2.5.0, but the next version perhaps.

I assume you use AWT/Swing in your UI and did not see
the OS menu issue on MacOS >= 13.1 (arm64 ..)?
See https://forum.jogamp.org/Apple-Silicon-build-help-tp4042851p4042855.html pp.

Will wait a little longer .. "playing" with some other toys and see to a release this week then.

Again: Thank you all for testing (and you may continue to do so ofc)
Send me an email if you like to report using our Bugzilla.
I remember the Gephi team had an issue weeks or months ago,
but I got no reply since.

.. one more remark & apologies to repeat the issue at hand, I don't like it at all.

The "teams" of Scilab and WorldWind - as well other hybrid commercial projects,
are strongly invited to contact me to discuss the next steps forward (if any).
I would suggest to setup meetings with their stakeholders and discuss a plan forward.

A one person full time compensation might be enough, two person support would be awesome.
See How to pay professional maintainers.


^^ this is not directed to any hobby or small-biz entity using the project,
but more so directed at whats left in the ethics department of the bigger corps & orgs :-/
Interestingly enough, it always were the small biz corps supporting this project the most!
THANK YOU!

False alert, everything works correctly for the user I spoke about.

Sweet Home 3D uses AWT/Swing and all its menus and contextual menus (managed with Swing) work correctly under macOS 13.4.1 / arm64 and x86_64.

Did some rather brief testing here, 20230813-rc candidate working well on Windows 11 x86_64, Java 8 and Java 17 environments. Had to do a bit of adjustment to account for an API change in glMultiDrawElementsIndirect() but all seems to be working so far.

Harvey

Thank you Harvey for testing.

And thank you Manu for re-validation.

I have fixed Bug 1310 and do not expect side-effects.
Thought it was fixed (worksforme) .. but nope, visible on Windows only.

2.5.0 build is on its way and I check later.

v2.5.0 is released

Seven,

Thanks for your effort on version 2.5.0, which has been used in my MeteoInfo project (https://github.com/meteoinfo/MeteoInfo/blob/master/meteoinfo-chart/pom.xml).

Hi Sven,

Thanks for adjusting the macOS deployment target of the release !

Best regards,

S.
