Cocos Creator v2.0.6 released!

Cocos Creator v2.0.6 has been released!

Cocos Creator v2.0.6 is based on the v2.0.5 upgrade, providing fast access to Facebook Audience Network and Facebook Live Video on Android and iOS, while maintaining v2.0.5 stability. Facebook Audience Network is an advertising platform launched by Facebook that provides powerful advertising monetization capabilities. Facebook Live Video is an SDK from Facebook that allows players to play live games directly and share them on Facebook’s social network, effectively improving the game’s ability to spread. For specific access procedures for these two SDKs, please refer to the document Facebook Live and Advertising. In addition, this version also optimizes the build process of for Vivo and OPPO Mini Games. It is recommended to upgrade to this release if you are releasing Vivo and OPPO Mini Games.

Follow-up version notice

v2.0.7 will be released soon, focusing on optimizing native platform performance

We will soon be beta testing v2.0.7. In this version we optimized the rendering performance of the engine, especially the Spine and DragonBones of the native platform, and the performance has been greatly improved.

v2.1 iterations will be more aggressive

Compared with v2.0, the upgrade of v2.1 will mainly focus on the 3D field. We recommend upgrading new projects with 3D requirements to this version, and establishing contact with us in forums and other channels. Our responsible 3D partners will provide relevant support. . Since v2.1 is a very new version, we will speed up the iteration and try to meet the needs of developers. We will be releasing v2.1.1 in the near future to support 3D scene editing, camera preview and material systems, and to optimize the 3D development process.


Downloads

v2.0.6 for macOS
v2.0.6 for Windows

So the recommendation is to use 2.1 only with 3d projects?

I don’t think so, no. However note that 2.1 isn’t quite 3D ready. It doesn’t edit scenes and more. v2.1.1 is coming soon that will help with some of this. I’d continue using v2.0.6 for any production needs.

so the next iteration of 2.1 will include 2.0.06 changes?
when it will be released?

Yes the versions will merge :slight_smile:

Su you know dates?

I’ll double check with the team on dates before posting.

In v2.0.5, Richtext color is not working. Node color is changing the Richtext color as it was working fine with previous version. I hope v2.0.6 has settled this.

So, excuse me for looking for clarification, even though the next changes for 2.1.x will be focused on 3D and the changes for 2.0.x will be focused on 2D, at some points all the 2D performance improvements announced for 2.0.7 and so will be merged into 2.1, making 2.1.x the go to version for both 2D and 3D, right?

That’s correct.

any news about the release date of 2.1.1?

Thank you.

you are welcome

2.0.7 is coming early this next week.

2.1.1 we are still unsure of a release date.
