Release Notes

New features

Genymotion Desktop now supports OpenGL ES 3, making it possible to test more advanced 3D code.

The GPS widget now lets you load GPX files and replay them (licensed users only).

It is now possible to disable clipboard sharing between virtual devices and the host operating system.

If you have a touch screen, you can now send proper multitouch events, including gestures like pinch to zoom.

Changes

The Player user interface has received a Material facelift, giving it a more modern appearance.

The GPS widget map now uses OpenGL for rendering: maps are now crisper, zoom is smoother, and texts are always correctly oriented.

The gmtool admin list, gmtool admin start and gmtool admin stop commands no longer require a license, making it possible to use gmtool to build integration with other tools like IDE.

genyshell learned the -q command line option to avoid printing a banner, making it easier to integrate in scripts.

We updated the bundled version of VirtualBox in the Windows installer to 6.1.14.

Fixes

We made the Open GApps downloading code more robust.

“gmtool admin stop” would sometimes freeze; this has been fixed.

Some UI elements were blurry on HiDPI displays.

When using an authenticated proxy, changing the proxy username no longer requires restarting Genymotion Desktop.

On macOS, the Finder “Get Info” dialog now correctly displays Genymotion Desktop version.

This release fixes a bug in the GPS widget which caused the map to appear blank.

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.

New Genymotion Virtual Devices version 2.16 for Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion Cloud SaaS have been released.

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.
