JMonkeyEngine 3.6.0-stable has been released
Published on March 20, 2023 by Stephen Robb Gold
We're super excited about the new release of JMonkeyEngine that arrived today: 3.6.0-stable. It adds many useful features and solves many past issues. For full details, refer to the release notes at https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/releases/tag/v3.6.0-stable
The default OpenGL profile has changed, from Compatibility to Core 3.2 . This change makes applications more portable, but limits some graphics capabilities such as line widths. If you prefer Compatibility profile, you can still specify it programmatically during startup.
Similarly, the familiar "settings" dialog has been removed from jme3-desktop. This was done to address portability issues on platforms such as macOS. The "settings" dialog remains available, however, as part of the new "jme3-awt-dialogs" library.
Engine development is ongoing. For instance, we anticipate a follow-up release to leverage LWJGL v3.3.2 when it becomes available.
