Hey there, Citrus fans! (We haven’t used that one for a while, have we?) You’ve all wanted it and we’ve heard your cries and pleas. Vulkan has arrived and is here to stay, available now in the latest Citrus release! Why Vulkan? Since the dawn of time — well, since Citrus’s creation — many, many users have requested we add support for the Vulkan Graphics API; providing better performance in many cases and better support on devices, especially Android.

Doesn’t it feel like it was just yesterday when Citrus released its first progress report in years? It certainly was exciting, finally reaching a point of having tangible progress and being able to share it with everyone! As we said in the previous progress report, Citrus is alive and well, and as a result, we have even more Citrus improvements to talk about. So, dear reader, it’s time for another progress report which is sure to excite you!

Welcome back to another Citrus Mega Progress Report! Yes! We aren’t dead! First off, we do apologize for the wait, we are still lacking a full-time writer. In the meantime, Citrus community moderator autumnburra and developer FearlessTobi have come together with the assistance of another community moderator, SleepingSnake, to provide you, the Citrus community, with this awesome report on all the changes we’ve had in Citrus since 2020 Q2! If you have been keeping up to date with messages posted in the #development channel in our Discord server, you may already be aware of some of these.
