Marlin-renderer 0.5.6
Release v0.5.6:
- marlin-0.5.6.jar (RenderingEngine only)
- marlin-0.5.6-sun-java2d.jar (patched sun.java2d.AAShapePipe): ~ 5 to 10% faster
note: wait a bit before using this release: testing & benchmarks in progress
This release is using sun.misc.Unsafe
to use off-heap storage for edge data: it was intensively tested and is considered stable:
~ 5 to 10% faster on JDK 1.8 (no gain on jdk7).
This release is then recommended for JDK 1.8 only; for JDK 1.7, please use Marlin 0.4.5
Changes:
- Improved sorting implementations = custom merge sort with less data copy: ~ 3 to 5% faster (depending on the shape complexity)
- Fixed potential bug in Dasher (bad array capacity check)
