Homebrew coder ant512 has released a new version of Woopsi, a handy GUI library for creating homebrews for the NIntendo DS based on AmigaOS windowing system . The latest update has added some new features that focuses on testing the library and additional bug fixes.

Developer’s note:

This release includes the usual set of bugfixes. New features are mainly centered around testing the library – there’s a new “tests” folder which will grow into a comprehensive set of test harnesses for every UI gadget. The two existing tests have already highlighted a number of bugs in the tested gadgets, all of which have been fixed in this release.

Additionally, this release adds the ability for Woopsi applications to load and save 24-bit BMP files.

Version 0.39 changelog:

• Fixes:
• Removed framebuffer-hitting code from DimmedScreen gadget and replaced with call to GraphicsPort::dim().
• ListBox removes itself from its ListData object when deleted.
• Keyboard example shows cursor.
• Moved DimmedScreen into woopsi folder as an official gadget.
• CycleButton::getPreferredDimensions() populates rect with correct values.

• Gadget::show() clears rect cache of sibling gadgets with a lower z-index to ensure that they do not draw over the top of the newly-shown gadget.
• A disabled gadget that overlaps another now intercepts clicks correctly, no longer allowing them to fall through to the gadget below.
• New Features:
• TextBox and MultiLineTextBox cursor moves when d-pad left/right are pressed and gadget has focus.
• Added tests folder:
• CycleButton test;
• RadioButtonGroup test.
• Added BinaryFile class to bonus folder.
