## Titanium SDK

Two new SDK releases since the last `Titanium News`: [10.0.1.GA](https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Titanium_SDK_10.0.1.GA_Release_Note) and [10.0.2.GA](https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Titanium_SDK_10.0.2.GA_Release_Note)!

10.0.1 added LiveView with Hyperloop on iOS (when Hyperloop parts don't change), some iOS 15 fixes, possibility to disable copy on TextFields/TextAreas with `enableCopy`, some Material updates, Gradle update and a lot of other features and bug fixes. 
Also there is some picker parity and [more styles for date/time pickers](https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-28426) e.g. calendar views.
10.0.2 fixed some iOS start-up bugs, optimizes ScrollableView on Android and allows you to compile apps on Linux when the (old) 32bit libraries are not installed 🐧👍

Next big version 10.1.0 has already [127 merged PRs](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/milestone/54?closed=1) (+ 145 npm package updates). Let's see how many of the [68 PRs](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pulls) will make it into it or will be in the next version.
Contributions are always welcome if you want to add some features!

## Modules

A lot is going on in the module sector. [@hansemannn](https://github.com/hansemannn) and [@mbender74](https://github.com/mbender74) are recompiling many modules to be compatible with M1 Macs 🤟
* [Ti.Animation](https://github.com/m1ga/ti.animation/pull/55) <i>will be merged soon</i>
* [av.imageview](https://github.com/AndreaVitale/av.imageview/pull/115)
* [NappDrawer](https://github.com/mbender74/NappDrawer) including some fixes!
* [TiSocial.Framework](https://github.com/hansemannn/TiSocial.Framework)
* [titanium-image-crop](https://github.com/hansemannn/titanium-image-crop)
* [titanium-google-signin](https://github.com/hansemannn/titanium-google-signin)
* [Ti.Facebook](https://github.com/appcelerator-modules/ti.facebook/pull/280)
* [titanium-qrcode](https://github.com/hansemannn/titanium-qrcode)
and some more. Always click on the PR tab or the fork list on github to see if there is a newer module available.

There are also some new modules/widgets:

* [purgeTSS](https://github.com/macCesar/purgeTSS) by [@macCesar](https://github.com/macCesar/) got many updates. Be sure to check it out if you want to use e.g. Tailwind classes in Ti! A grid system and some animation classes are in the pipeline, too.
* [ti.scroller](https://github.com/macCesar/ti.scroller) is another widget by [@macCesar](https://github.com/macCesar/) that adds a nice marquee effect widget.
* [ti.apng](https://github.com/m1ga/ti.apng) is a simple APNG module for Android by me
* [ti.pdftools](https://github.com/m1ga/ti.pdftools/) is another Android module by me to add the possibility to merge multiple pdf files or convert images to a pdf.

If you use io.branch I would love to get some feedback for this [Titanium 10 Android PR](https://github.com/BranchMetrics/titanium-branch-deep-linking-attribution/pull/118). I've updated the module so you can use it again with the latest io.branch version and the test app compiles fine. But I'm not using it so some real user feedback would be awesome.
