Genymotion Desktop 3.1.1

July 30, 2020

Genymotion Desktop

If you are upgrading from 3.1.1 beta 1, almost nothing has changed. If you are upgrading from 3.1.0, here is what’s new:

• Windows: VirtualBox 6.1 support on Windows 10.
• Problems with VirtualBox 6.1 host-only interfaces on Windows have been fixed.
• Windows:
• virtual device screens appeared cropped in the top-left corner on high-dpi monitors on Windows. Now fixed. This correction was not in beta 1.
• Linux:
• new devices are now configured to use PulseAudio, improving sound support.
• Mac:
• mouse wheel on high-precision touchpads (Macbook touchpads, Magic Mouse) no longer causes super-fast and jittery scrolling.
• Genyshell:
• The “rotation setangle” Genyshell command behavior fixed. Now the display rotates whenever the accelerometer value changes, as expected. Also applies to the remote-control feature.
• Global:
• heterogeneous-density multi-screen setups: rotating the device would cause the display to be zoomed.
• Global:
• it is now possible to use Genymotion Desktop behind a SOCKS5 proxy support.

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.1 beta 1 (June 11, 2020)

June 11, 2020

Genymotion Desktop Genymotion Desktop now supports VirtualBox 6.1 on Windows. This was a long-standing issue but a workaround for the problems we encountered with VirtualBox 6.1 host-only interfaces on Windows has been found. We also fixed an issue with heterogeneous-density multi-screen setups: rotating the device would cause the display to be zoomed. On Linux, new devices are now configured to use PulseAudio, improving sound support. Using the mouse wheel on high-precision touchpads such as Macbook touchpads or Magic Mouse no longer causes super-fast and jittery scrolling. The “rotation setangle” Genyshell command behavior was surprising: the new accelerometer value was correctly sent but the display would not rotate. Now the display rotates whenever the accelerometer value changes, as you would expect. This also applies to the remote-control feature. Finally, we added support for Socks5 proxies.

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0 (April 7, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

Forewords We released 3 public beta versions of Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0, and we want to thank all our beta testers for their feedback. They greatly helped improve and make this upgrade even more stable.

Improved performances This version brings a large number of updates to our rendering stack, improving performances with the latest versions of Android, especially on macOS.

Rewritten camera widget Version 3.1.0 comes with a rewrite of our camera support and a simplified widget. This rewrite offers better performance and fixes the camera on macOS Catalina.

Speaking of macOS Catalina, Genymotion Desktop now supports the new macOS permission system: virtual devices ask for permissions to use the camera and microphone in a timely fashion, and detect when permissions are being granted while running.

User interface improvements The installation of virtual devices has been moved to a separate wizard, accessible through the new "+" floating action button sitting above the virtual device list. This brings a tidier, cleaner look and highly reduces CPU usage of the application.

The user interface received lots of small touch-ups:

• On Windows and Linux, the Device Manager got its menu bar moved to the toolbar, saving vertical space.
• The Emulator has been updated as well: we reorganized the widgets in the toolbar, streamlined the layout of most widgets and refreshed the navigation icons.
• We reworked the keyboard shortcuts to make them easier to use and remember. We carefully chose them to match their widget as much as possible and to avoid conflicts with your operating system shortcuts.
• The title of the Emulator window is now more useful, giving you individual information (IP, device name) about the device first. We also removed the duplicated title from widgets, making them smaller and cleaner.

Removals This version removes support for the “-cloud” option of gmtool. It has been superseded by our new gmsaas tool.

Availability Now available for Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion Cloud SaaS.
