Native Linux, Apple Watch, A Game Builder And Crash Protection
Short summary
Codename One framework adds native Linux desktop support via a lightweight ParparVM compilation pipeline, watchOS/Wear OS ports for wearables, and a visual Game Builder with streaming for large game worlds. The Linux port generates self-contained ELF binaries with GTK3 rendering. New crash protection replaces email alerts with GitHub-integrated on-device reporting and cross-platform symbolication.
- •Native Linux port generates standalone ELF binaries via ParparVM pipeline with GTK3 rendering and glibc compatibility
- •watchOS and Wear OS support enables same Java/Kotlin codebase to run on wearables with platform-native APIs
- •Visual Game Builder (beta) with streaming engine for large worlds plus on-device GitHub-integrated crash reporting
