This update contains the following changes:
- The emulator would sometimes experience memory corruption and crash when creating color buffers. This is fixed.
- We fixed issues in color buffer reference counting, which should increase the reliability of snapshot saves and loads while the emulator is running.
- In some cases, the emulator failed to initialize because it couldn’t find a wgl...ARB function, such as wglGetExtensionsStringARB. This issue has been fixed by having the emulator also search for equivalent wgl...EXT versions of WGL functions in addition to the wgl...ARB versions. (Issue link)
- On Linux, the Extended controls panel now has a more prominent close button.
- The emulator now generates userdata.img based on the data/ folder of the system image, if available. In future system image revisions for API level P and higher, we will not include userdata.img in the system image zip file, which will make for smaller downloads and faster patching of system image updates.
