Emulator 29.2.7 Canary

piatok 1. novembra 2019

Emulator 29.2.7 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels. Changes:

emulator-headless is now retired. Headless builds of the engine are now launched via emulator -no-window, thus unifying the previously separate (but similar) paths.
Fixed issue on API 22 system images where if using the swiftshader_indirect renderer, black frames would result on video playback.
Fold/unfold button now works more reliably.
Fixed issue where LD_PRELOAD was clobbered by the Linux emulator.
Fixed various possible crashes on exit.
Added interface to screenshot to a particular PNG file instead of one with an autogenerated filename. Usage:

adb emu screenrecord screenshot customFileName.png

(Requires future system image update) Fixed issue where Unity Vulkan examples would not work out of the box.
