Defold Druid v0.11.0

Druid 0.11.0

Hello! What a wonderful day for the new Druid update!

Alright, let's get straight to the point. Look at what I have for you!

Druid Rich Text has finally been released. The main difference from the existing Bjorn's Rich Text is that all visual parameters are customizable directly in the GUI. This allows you to integrate Rich Text more accurately and quickly. Additionally, this Rich Text aligns pixel perfect (well, almost) with regular GUI text node.

This version is the most basic one. Honestly, just wanna to publish current version for your and polish it later. Read RichText API here

Another addition is the ability to enable the "HTML mode" for the Button component. In this mode, the button's action occurs in the context of user action, allowing operations like "copy and paste text" "show the keyboard" and more. However, in this mode, the button only responds to regular clicks due to the technical implementation of it (so no double clicks or long taps for this button).

The huge work was done on documentation. Now it's more clear and have more examples. All documentation now moved to the API section. The separate componentd.md manual will be deleted soon as all documentation will be moved to the API section.

The API section now filled with overview and usage examples. I've started with the basic modules, in future I will add more examples for all modules.

Also, I've added the Unit Tests. It's not cover all Druid code, but it's a good start! 🎉

Have a good day!

Changelog 0.11.0
