vrlizate_joystick 0.2.0

Modular dual-analog joystick, 3D VR smartphone controller, and low-latency WebSocket service for Flutter & VRlizate.

Changelog

0.2.0 - 2026-09-22

• Request portrait while the QR scanner is the active route; the controller requests landscape on entry. Do not overwrite a replacement route's orientation when an old controller disposes after its navigation animation.

• Recover transient native-controller disconnections with six bounded retries; pause releases input while preserving a live link, and resume rearms recovery. Cancel obsolete attempts on destination changes and reject stale completions.

• Add authenticated-target callbacks for host-owned invitation storage and receiver telemetry for input age, accepted/rejected states, watchdog releases and disconnect reasons. Input age uses local time and is not RTT.

• Prefer Wi-Fi/hotspot LAN addresses for pairing; never advertise cellular, VPN or loopback addresses. Refresh the advertised address without rotating the token or disconnecting a controller; show guidance when no LAN is available.

• Add persistent controllerVisible snapshots and a manual settings fallback. Shake now shows/hides viewer feedback in joystick and driving, never recenters; gravity-aware detection debounces vigorous movement without ordinary tilt.

• Native laser aiming is touch-only, including after releasing the aiming pad; retain gyroscope integration for wheel steering and generic wire pose support.

• Keep enlarged Y/B regions on the outer edges; assign the upper-inner circular surrounds to L/R for both paint and touch, preserving sticks and X/A geometry.

• Frame each circular joystick with concave edge bands: L/R above, Y/B on the outer sides, X/A across bottom edges and corners. Use the same paths for paint and hit testing; move status/settings centrally to free physical edges. Preserve landscape on return and independent multi-touch/cancellation.

• Add explicit A selection in driving without resuming stale held pedals.

• Add VrControllerPairingPage: bundled native QR reader (mobile_scanner 7.4.1), permission/manual fallback, strict child/localSocket validation and camera release before automatic connection. Clipboard reads require a button press.

• Simplify the viewer's QR page: in-app instructions, separate browser fallback, larger adaptive QR and optional advanced links, preserving server ownership.

• Default to the dual joystick with integrated aiming; remove the separate laser layout from mode settings, including legacy initial-mode requests.

• Add authenticated, revisioned host layout recommendations: neutral ACK on change/reconnection and paused driving before a fresh resume/accelerator press. Native and browser controllers follow the active app; browser steering is touch.

• Add calibrated motion steering (55° full lock, progressive response 1.15), touch fallback, independent pedals, pause and lifecycle-safe input release.

• Ignore cancellation callbacks from replaced/disposed controller surfaces.

• ES: joystick inicial, volante contextual más suave y liberación segura al cambiar de demo, desconectar o cerrar la pantalla del mando.

• Require vrlizate 1.12.0; move workspace overrides out of the public manifest.

• Keep A/L/R independent: L never activates the primary trigger; A is exposed through btnA, R through btnR (also primary trigger). Hosts map one semantic action.

• Add validated laserSlideActive; touch aiming owns native joystick pose without IMU pose writes or prediction velocity, including after release.

• Validate every navigation/look/laser axis and preserve release on pause.

• Fix experimental binary sequence wrap, exact-size checks, stick endpoints and per-connection format consistency. Update both binary endpoints together.

• JSON remains the complete native/browser controller protocol; the 28-byte binary pose path omits controls and is not a drop-in replacement or Zero-GC.

• ES: botones independientes, exclusión pad/IMU y validación de red. El nuevo mínimo del core debe publicarse primero; estas versiones aún no están publicadas.
