DiSTI Unveils GL Studio 8.3: Pioneering IDE Integration and Safety-Critical Runtime Solutions
The Floridant/10292216

ORLANDO, Fla. - Floridant -- The DiSTI Corporation, the global leader in human-machine interface (HMI) development tools, proudly announces the release of GL Studio 8.3. This highly anticipated update brings a host of groundbreaking features, including enhanced Integrated Development Environment (IDE) integration, ANGLE runtime support for Linux and macOS, and Software OpenGL SC 1.0 runtime library enhancements. These innovations empower developers in the automotive, aerospace, and other safety-critical industries to push the boundaries of HMI development.

Revolutionizing Development with Enhanced IDE Integration
GL Studio 8.3 introduces improved IDE integration that streamlines debugging and accelerates workflows. Developers can now double-click on error messages in the Log Tab to open their platform's IDE—such as Visual Studio, Xcode, or Linux's default editor—directly at the offending line of code. With the addition of intuitive log tab filters, identifying errors, warnings, and other messages has never been easier.

Expanding Prototyping and Deployment with ANGLE Runtime Support
For the first time, Linux and macOS users gain access to ANGLE runtime support. This enhancement enables the deployment of GL Studio content to Unity, Unreal Engine, and other game engines, targeting Metal for macOS and Desktop OpenGL 4.x for Linux. Developers can now prototype ES content seamlessly across platforms, furthering GL Studio's utility in the creation of cutting-edge simulations and software-defined vehicles.

Safety-Critical Innovations for CPU Environments
This new SC runtime library allows users to deploy applications on embedded hardware with CPUs, meeting the rigorous demands of environments such as aerospace missions beyond low Earth orbit. This technology ensures reliable performance even in the most challenging conditions, such as areas with high radiation exposure or where other implementations are cost-prohibitive.

Transforming Automotive and Aerospace Applications
In the automotive sector, GL Studio 8.3 empowers developers to prototype software-defined vehicle interfaces on Linux and macOS, eliminating reliance on Windows for ES content creation. The new SC runtime library also offers cost-effective deployment options for embedded systems in modern vehicles.

For aerospace, the ANGLE runtime enables rapid prototyping of simulation content in Unity or Unreal, while the new driver provides a robust solution for deploying mission-critical HMIs on CPU hardware destined for space exploration.

Quality-of-Life Improvements and Bug Fixes
This release also brings a variety of developer-focused enhancements, including:

• Copying and pasting geometry, code, and elements between GL Studio editor instances.
• Log tab improvements, such as preventing automatic snap-back during error inspection.
• Increased font generation options and project title visibility for better multitasking.

Bug fixes include addressing issues with WebGL touch events, GlsNinePatch asserts in ES deployments, and ES runtime compatibility with multiple GLO files sharing filenames.
