Juce 8 Features and Specifications:
- Webview GUIs: JUCE 8 will introduce the ability to design and deploy GUIs using native embedded web views on each platform. This empowers designers to iterate on GUIs in real time, leveraging industry-standard workflows and the latest web technologies.
- Direct2D Renderer: A new Direct2D-based renderer on Windows will provide a faster, GPU-accelerated rendering backend. Existing software will benefit from improved GUI drawing performance without requiring source code changes.
- Animation Framework: JUCE 8 will introduce a new animation framework with hardware-synced standard easings, ensuring smooth transitions between screen refreshes on all platforms, and eliminating overdrawing and dropped frames.
- Unicode Support: Now supporting complex, rich text rendering in any font, orientation, alignment, and language, including emojis, ligatures, bi-directional text, and fallback fonts.
- JS Interpreter: A faster JS Interpreter with support for modern JS features enhances scripting capabilities within JUCE.
