libGDX 1.14.0 has been released with bug fixes and new features. See the changelog below for a complete overview.
A few notable changes
- [CORE] The
Poolschanges in 1.13.5 have been partially reverted and the class has been deprecated. Users should either create aDefaultPoolthemselves or switch to the newPoolManager. To avoid reflection,PoolManagerrequires registering a class beforehand either via the constructor or#addPool. See #7648 for more information of the (now deprecated)Poolsclass and #7678 for more information onPoolManager. - [CORE] Once again there have been multiple big and small improvements to the tiled map support, in particular class and template object support as well as the addition of a universal tiled map loader. Special thanks to BoBIsHere86 for that!
- [CORE]
JsonValue#getis no longer case insensitive. UseJsonValue#getIgnoreCase(). - [CORE]
StringBuilderhas been removed and its methods merged withCharArray. - [LWJGL3] You can now use
Lwjgl3ApplicationConfiguration.useGlfwAsync();as a shorthand forif (SharedLibraryLoader.os == Os.MacOsX) Configuration.GLFW_LIBRARY_NAME.set("glfw_async");
To check out our progress towards the next release, take a look at the corresponding milestone on GitHub. As always, we appreciate feedback on the issues/PRs already part of the milestone and would like to invite you to bring forward anything still missing on our Discord server!

- [BREAKING CHANGE] API: Pools changes in 1.13.5 have been partially reverted. Pools#get/Pools#obtain method return to requiring a Class parameter. Reflection is avoided by using pre-populated Pools for libgdx classes. See https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/7648 and https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/7678
- [BREAKING CHANGE] `JsonSkimmer` API changed to use JsonToken parameters.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] `JsonValue#last` added for O(1) append. Code that changes next may also need to change last.
