Genymotion Desktop Release Notes

• In some situations, cloning a virtual device could take longer than expected and fail. This has been fixed.
• The Power button is now darkening the virtual device screen on Mac OS X.
• On Linux and Mac OS X, Genymotion now properly resumes after hibernation.
• The Screencast feature on Mac OS X El Capitan doesn’t lead to a crash of Genymotion anymore.
• On Mac OS X, Genymotion would sometimes needlessly consume license activations. This has been fixed.
• In the SMS feature of the Phone widget, all Unicode characters are now properly handled.
• The command android setdeviceid of Genymotion Shell now allows upper case.
• The command gmtool license info of GMTool now takes the timezone into account when displaying the expiration time.

• The way Genymotion installs “flashable archives” has been updated. It now executes update binary if one is present. Many tools have been added to execute complex scripts without a recovery.
• The new densities 420dpi and 560dpi provided in Marshmallow have been added.
• The UI of the Settings screen has been improved to offer an easier way to sign in, register the license key and use the license server feature.
• Genymotion’s development platform has been migrated from Qt4 to Qt5.

• Compatibility with all versions of Android Gradle Plugin from 1.0.0 to 1.5.0 is now fixed.
• Error logging for Genymotion version compatibility checks has been improved.

We added a preview support of Android 6.0, also known as Android Marshmallow. Virtual devices available with this version are:

• Google Nexus 5X;
• Google Nexus 6P.

We’re working hard on building the final release.

Here’s a list of known issues we’re still working on:

• Launcher3 may crash when the device starts;
• The new densities 420dpi and 560dpi cannot be selected in the UI of Genymotion, but the new devices use them anyway;
• Power button locks the device, but doesn’t darken the screen on Mac OS X;
• Camera crashes when recording;
• Identifiers widget doesn’t work yet;
• Zip archives can be flashed but some hooks might be missing for some packages to work;
• Hibernation on Mac OS X freezes the device display;
• SDcard size can’t be changed;
• “Super user” app missing;
• “File manager” app missing;
• Microphone doesn’t work;
• Most video/audio codecs don’t work.
