Hi!

Please, could somebody explain what "native rendering" does mean to
me?
May be a silly question, but are there?

Regards
Manfred

It is kind of "hardware acceleration of rendering on your device" . It looks and behaves the same. On some devices it works faster, on some slower, on some devices doesn't work at all.

Hi Victor!

Thank you for your quick reply!

It seems to be a "hardware acceleration" by using a different piece of
software ;-)
What are the two different pieces in "native" an "not native" mods?
From whom do they come?

Regards
Manfred

P.S.: You seem to be very busy today ;-)
Is 0.6.9 coming soon?

Can't catch what you are asking? 
It is C++ implementation of rendering that works exactly the same.

What I think to understand now is that instead of java code you
use C++ code in a .dll or .so to do the rendering.

Hoping that that will do the job quicker. I would expect that too.

I would call that 'Using a C++ renderer'.

( I was running around with the same question. It was like 'if native
then
the phone/tablet renders' and if not a server on the internet.).

I might be wrong but I believe 'native' refers to the fact that the C+ + code is compiled to native binaries( machine code) and the java runs in an interpreted virtual environment.
