The spine-lua API has been updated to be compatible with Spine version 3.4.02 (latest stable). The spine-lua API now supports path constraints, transform constraints, uses the new way we encode meshes etc. There are no API breaking changes, only API additions, such as PathConstraints and TransformConstraints as well as additional methods to Skeleton and similar classes. The internals of the spine-lua API have also been updated to follow Lua best performance practices by localizing heavily and using meta tables for "class methods". The spine-lua API now also loads texture atlases as exported by Spine. All that is required for a consumer is to supply an image loading function for their specific engine/framework. We provide implementations for spine-love and spine-corona. The spine-love API can now render all Spine attachment types, including meshes and linked meshes. The API has changed. Where previously a "class" Skeleton existed with a draw function, the new spine-love API introduces a new SkeletonRenderer. See the example on API usage. The spine-corona API can now also render all Spine attachment types. The API has not changed.
Spine Runtimes
This GitHub project hosts the Spine Runtimes which are needed to use Spine 2D skeletal animation with various game toolkits.
Licensing
The Spine Runtimes may only be used for personal or internal use, typically to evaluate Spine before purchasing. If you would like to incorporate the Spine Runtimes into your applications, distribute software containing the Spine Runtimes, or modify the Spine Runtimes, then you will need a valid Spine license. Please see the Spine Runtimes Software License for detailed information.
The Spine Runtimes are developed with the intent to be used with data exported from Spine. By purchasing Spine, Section 2 of the Spine Software License grants the right to create and distribute derivative works of the Spine Runtimes.
Documentation
See the Spine runtime documentation for documentation applicable to all runtimes. See each runtime's README.md for runtime specific documentation.
Bugs, enhancements, and tasks
Review our backlog of bugs, enhancements, and tasks in the spine-runtimes and spine-editor issue trackers. However, you may find it more convenient to use the spine-runtimes waffle and spine-editor waffle, which provide a nicer view of the same issue tracker information.
Versioning
The code provided here is continuously under development. Generally the latest Git master source works with the data exported from the latest version of Spine. The Spine version can be frozen at a specific Spine version that matches the Spine Runtimes source being used. Occaisionally the Spine Runtimes are tagged to work with a specific Spine version.
