Migrating from v2.0.1
- Genymotion comes now bundled with a version of ADB. You can still provide a path to an Android SDK if you want, and Genymotion will use Android tools from this SDK. If you previously set a path to a specific Android SDK version, Genymotion will continue to use it.
New features
Genymotion automatically reconnects to ADB
Many users reported that their IDE doesn’t detect anymore their Genymotion virtual devices after a period of time. Genymotion virtual devices are now automatically reconnected to ADB, avoiding problems when IDEs restart ADB daemon.
Sound capture in screencast feature
Sound emitted by the virtual device is now included in videos recorded with Genymotion screencast feature.
Cache cleaner
To speed up future deployments and optimize your bandwidth, Genymotion stores all downloaded virtual device files in a cache. As these files can represent a significant amount of disk space, you can easily remove them (as well as log files) from the Genymotion settings panel, in the miscellaneous tab.
Confirmation email
On Microsoft Windows platforms, Genymotion binaries are now digitally signed, avoiding some false positive alerts from antivirus software or confirmation warnings when launched.
Corrections
- Genymotion can now detect and work around the fact that VirtualBox installation path has changed.
- In the GPS widget, the map search field is now using the proxy configuration.
- The GPS widget works even if the network was unreachable at Genymotion launch.
- When deploying a new virtual device, the window listing its characteristics doesn’t show cropped text anymore on some platforms with a particular screen size.
