Release notes
#1

Defold 1.2.120

This release adds MultiDex support for Android native extensions. We have also added an option to “pre-warm” ParticleFX emitters with a start offset. The label namespace has also been extended with a function to get text metrics just as gui.get_text_metrics in GUI scripts.

Multi-dex support

In those cases where your app needs .jar files that contain more than 65536 functions, you can now add them to your app. No changes are needed from a developer perspective. Note that older phones (< Android 5) might have trouble loading too many symbols, so you could get an error about “linearAlloc”. The error might not occur at startup, but at runtime when you access the jar file for the first time. This is an Android issue, and the recommended solution is to strip the unneeded symbols from your jar files.

Hmm, the latest engine sha1 is c70ad190898e790f8284e8dab0e31c9090476be9, so you shouldn’t be affected by it yet (we’ll update editor 2 tomorrow). Not sure what could be causing this, maybe @Johan_Beck-Noren or @Erik_Angelin knows more?
