-API Change: VisValidatableTextField#getValidator() removed, use getValidators() instead
-API Change: Removed constructors FileChooser taking I18NBundle
 -This way inconsistent with other widgets that did not support this, use VisUI class for setting global I18NBundles

-API Change: NumberSelectorListener#changed(int) is now NumberSelectorListener#changed(float)

-SimpleFormValidator (note that following also applies to FormValidator):
 -API Addition: constructor SimpleFormValidator (Disableable targetToDisable, Label messageLabel, String styleName)
 -API Addition: constructor SimpleFormValidator (Disableable targetToDisable, Label messageLabel, FormValidatorStyle style)
 -API Addition: SimpleFormValidator#setMessageLabel(), and #setSuccessMessage
 -API Addition: SimpleFormValidator#addDisableTarget(Disableable) and SimpleFormValidator#removeDisableTarget(Disableable)
 -Now using FormValidatorStyle: allows to set color for message label when form is valid or invalid
  -Two built-in styles: 'default' and 'smooth' with smooth transition between colors
 -Any object implementing Disableable interface may be passed to FormInputValidator as target to disable if form is invalid
 -Multiple Disableable targets are supported
 -Added CheckBox support (checking if checkbox is checked/unchecked)
-TextField/VisTextField.setMessageText(String text) now works properly.
-DialogUtils methods now return dialogs objects (was void)
-Focus border can now be disabled on all widgets having it

-Added libGDX version check before loading VisUI, in case of version mismatch warning will be printed to console
 -Can be suppressed by VisUI.setSkipGdxVersionCheck(true);

Yep, that’s it!

There are few small API changes, you shouldn’t have any problems updating. If you do however ask me on our forums!

There aren’t many new features, as you can see this version mostly introduces bug fixes. From new features we have: number selector supports float values, VisCheckBox now has optional error border. ColorPicker allows to disable alpha selection and few new constructors and methods.

FormValidator got slightly refactored, now it can check if check box is checked or unchecked, you can add multiple widgets that will be enabled/disabled if form is valid or invalid. You can set message for label if form is valid. FromValidator can also change color of label, smooth transitions are supported as well!

-Fixed font kerning for character pairs: Ma, Me, Mi

That was pretty interesting issue. Submitted on forums. I had to learn how to fix font kerning in FontForge. TrueType fonts are pretty complicated.

Alright, that’s probably all for this update,
Enjoy!
