Upgrading to Axmol 2.11.3

[IcemarkUK]

It's that time of year again when I dust down my project for a build and release. Just updated to 2.11.3 from 2.4

So the question is, what is meant to be the approach of keeping code base up to date?

OSX only needed a small change on a the Mouse Event Listener - onMouseMove

iOS looks like RootViewController has gone - which means there is likely project plumbing needed.
And I daren't think about Android project, because that's always the worst.

On OSX - I seem to have lost mouse moment over certain areas of the screens - Widgets maybe?
This was how I was showing a custom mouse cursor before. ResumeEventListenerMouse is just a subclass of EventListenerMouse
This would suggest that this code is no longer always getting onMouseMove when the cursor is over other Nodes.

void uipanel::addMouseListener()
{
    mouseEventListener = ResumeEventListenerMouse::create();
    
    mouseEventListener->onMouseMove = [this](EventMouse* mouseEvent)
    {
        cursorPosition = Vec2(mouseEvent->getLocation().x, mouseEvent->getLocation().y);
        
        if(imgCursor!=nullptr) {
            imgCursor->setPosition(cursorPosition+cursorAnchor);
        }
        
        OnMouseMove(cursorPosition);
        
        return true;
    };
    
    _eventDispatcher->addEventListenerWithSceneGraphPriority(mouseEventListener, this);
}

The source files have been renamed, and a lot of the code has been moved into the engine. RootViewController is now GameViewController etc.. It seems a lot cleaner, and any custom code you may have had in there should still work, with minor changes.

Android has been changed, but it should be straightforward. Pay close attention to these files:
{project_root/.axproj - Settings, such as Android NDK and min/max SDK, are set in this file, which override defaults in {engine_root}/1k/build.profiles.
proj.android/settings.gradle
proj.android/gradle.properties
proj.android/app/build.gradle - this one has the most changes if I recall correctly, reading settings that come from build.profiles (or overrides from .axproj).

Another change that may seem significant, but isn't, would be in CMakeLists.txt. To simplify that file, sections of it were moved to {proj_dir}/cmake/modules, in separate .cmake files, which are included via the include() command. You can either keep using your existing CMakeLists.txt, referring to those .cmake files for any changes you may need to make, or use the new CMakeLists.txt and make any changes you need to both it and the .cmake files.

So this is just going to be a manual process... create an empty project and compare?

That is the case. I'm not sure of any automated way to do it, especially if there are project-specific modifications made to anything in the proj.* folders.
