What's New

Marmalade 6.0

Web Marmalade

In the 6.0 release, Marmalade makes a bold step into the world of hybrid apps. For the first time ever, web developers can use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to create hybrid apps, whilst leveraging all of the power of Marmalade's highly unified toolset.

'Web Marmalade' is fully compatible with the PhoneGap API specification for JavaScript access to device functionality. So web developers familiar with PhoneGap can get going with Marmalade really easily.

Web Marmalade also provides an integrated distribution of the Chromium tools, allowing full use of the Web Inspector and JavaScript debugger, alongside Marmalade's existing powerful Simulator.

iPad Retina support

Marmalade now supports the new iPad Retina display. By default, Marmalade apps will run at the original 1024x768 resolution, but by setting a simple flag you can have your app run at Retina resolution on the new iPad.

Native UI enhancements

Marmalade's native UI support has been extended to include:

• Toolbar
• Table
• Picker / Listbox
• Tab / Tab Group
• Activity Indicator
• Navigation Bar

Marmalade Mac enhancements

We've improved our support for using Marmalade on Mac. The desktop Simulator now supports accelerometer, location and device settings.
