flutter_earth_globe 2.0.0

flutter_earth_globe: ^2.0.0 copied to clipboard

🚀 Major Performance Improvements #

• GPU-accelerated rendering: Sphere and background now use fragment shaders for significantly better performance
• New shader-based sphere renderer: Smooth texture mapping with hardware acceleration
• New shader-based background renderer: GPU-powered starry background with parallax effect
• Optimized foreground rendering: Separated repaint boundaries for hover/click events to prevent unnecessary repaints

✨ New Features #

• Satellites: New satellite feature inspired by globe.gl
  • Add satellites with customizable styles (size, color, glow, shape)
  • Multiple satellite shapes: circle, square, triangle, star, satellite icon
  • Orbital animation support with customizable orbital parameters (inclination, period, eccentricity)
  • Orbit path visualization with optional dashed lines
  • Size attenuation based on depth
  • Glow effects with customizable intensity
• Enhanced Points: Points now support tilt effect based on surface angle (Globe.GL style)
• Improved Connection Rendering: Great circle arc rendering with proper 3D projection
• Atmospheric Glow: Enhanced atmospheric effects around the globe

🛠 Improvements #

• Smooth zoom animations with easing curves (Globe.GL style)
• Improved deceleration for rotation with natural physics-based movement
• Better error handling and automatic fallback to CPU rendering when shaders fail
• Web platform stability improvements with shader recreation on WebGL context issues
• Replaced deprecated withOpacity calls with withAlpha for better performance

📦 Dependencies #

• Added shader assets for GPU rendering

⚠️ Breaking Changes #

• Removed legacy foreground_painter.dart in favor of new gpu_foreground_painter.dart
• Some internal APIs have changed for the new rendering pipeline

• Added Day/Night cycle feature with animated sun position
• Support for separate day and night surface textures
• Smooth blending between day and night based on sun position
• Real-time sun position calculation based on current time
• Configurable day/night transition blend factor
• Animation controls for day/night cycle (start, stop, resume)
• Manual sun position control via longitude and latitude

• Fixed issue with point connection. Thanks to @PabloAsensio .

• Fixed issue with overlays (points/connections) drifting on vertical drag (issue #20)
• Fixed deceleration animation direction for vertical rotation
• Improved texture rendering with bilinear interpolation for smoother visuals
• Improved deceleration animation smoothness with better easing curve
• Code refactoring and performance improvements

• Fixed issue of PointConnection not showing when animateDraw = false
• Fixed issue with FlutterEarthGlobeController not disposing correctly.

• Added ability to change the curve of a connection
• Fixed issue with zoom in smaller screen sizes
• Fixed known issues

• Added ability to enable/disable zoom
• Added ability to focus on specific coordinates
• Fixed issue with zoom not behaving correctly
• Fixed issue with alignment

• Added more listeners and callbacks
• Improved overall usage of controller

• Minor Readme fixes
