New: Expanded Git support
This release introduces support for committing changes with Git, including a new Preferences item to set Git identity and new commit features in the Git tab in a project.
The release also includes improved error messages for downloading Git projects that provide more context and troubleshooting advice to help resolve problems quickly.
Git is an experimental feature. Learn more.
The Git tab shows changed files. Click a file name to see changes, or select one or more files to commit.
Set your user name and email address in the Git item in Preferences
New: Code on the Go plugins now support third-party dependencies
With this release, plugin developers can now use custom plugin themes and build advanced features that require loading native .so libraries via System.loadLibrary(). This unlocks use cases such as integrating SDKs and other performance-critical native components directly within plugins.
To use the native library API, the plugin must declare the native.code permission in the plugin manifest. If the permission is not declared, the plugin will be rejected with a SecurityException.
Plugins are an experimental feature. Learn more.
Tablet and desktop display improvements
- Fixed: When resizing Code on the Go in DeX mode on a Samsung device, the feedback button no longer disappears.
- Fixed: A tablet-specific bug where project deletion checkboxes would “reset” or uncheck themselves after scrolling the list.
In tablet or desktop mode, the feedback button always remains visible, and you can scroll the list of projects to delete without losing your selections.
Other fixes and enhancements
- New: System logs are now prefixed with CodeOnTheGo- for improved clarity and consistency. If you use external scripts to monitor logs, please update your file filters to look for the new CodeOnTheGo-prefix.
- New: Standard keyboard shortcuts are now supported when using a physical keyboard in tablet or desktop mode. View a list of supported shortcuts.
- Fixed: An installer bug where system-wide Right-to-Left (RTL) language settings caused the installation process to fail.
- Fixed: The app no longer allows unsupported ViewGroup nesting.
- Fixed: Other errors including FATAL EXCEPTION: JDWPListenerThread
