Hiļ¼Œ Friend.
Sorry for the late reply.

The team is busy with the new version and the new plan for 2024.

As you can see, v3.8.2 is coming.

So, just stay tuned.

Thanks for your support.

Hey there,

Thanks for your response.
Iā€™ve been a Cocosā€™s user (lover) for over a decade now.
Of course the team were always busy, but not that busy.
They (@pandamicro, @slackmoehrle, @LukeStapley etc.) all were missing from here for 3/4 months now.

Since Cocos is a open-sourced and free product, this made me worried that Cocos products line might be discontinued. I do hope, you would let us know in advance in that case?

#8

Question, is this in v3.8.2?

#9

Answer my own question; yes. Yes it is.

This is a much needed function that allows you to dynamically assign connected bodies to joints without using the enable/disable hack.

Found an issue that acts weird with mouse joints and makes the joints strength seem 1/10 of its strength. Will make a GitHub issue for it.

#10

do you guys have a look at the multi-camera issue when publish to native plateform as well?

#11

Does it have a GitHub issue?

#12

Idk is there anyone else notice that on GitHub but I have email them couples of mons ago.
I believe that properties of camera works for web however the result on native platform is not always the same.

#13

Hi, friend, thanks for your feedback.
Could you describe this in more detail?

#14

You are so observant, you noticed even this.
Other colleagues and I will take the duty to take care of the forum.
Thanks for your continuous support.
