Why SDK 4.1.5 doesn't have the compiler optimization feature

I have been waiting for the compiler optimizations for a long time since the beta version released. Wanna know why the latest version 4.1.5 doesn't have it

So disappointed LOL.

because is beta2..

As Garmin has decided not to allow publish IQ apps built by beta you have to wait for betaProduction as I've described in bug report.

Have you already tested how much you save with optymalizator?

I'd expect that the beta stuff gets rolled into a production SDK around the GDVC in October. There could be stuff with the beta that we don't even know about coming then.

For A WF on fr245.

82.8 -> 82.4, 0.4kB was saved. LOL

Actually I have repeated the memory-saving best practices talked in the classic thread. So hard to reduce more.

Generally speaking, I have to use some custom fonts for Chinese Lunar date which is definitely a memory killer I hope someday we developers don't need to worry about the memory limit any more just like that on a apple watch perhaps.

Maybe only when a battery revolution happens

So optimizer doesn't help. How much custom fonts take?

0.4kb means your code is already optimised or it's impossible to optimise (but it doesn't mean it is impossible to optimize manually)

Well. 3 fonts.

One contains chars used to render time text

One is used to render seconds smaller than time text.

The last one is for info text rendering which contains the most chars from basic ascii to Chinese characters(tens of).

If I turn off anti-alias, it will save a few kBs. But the result really looks ugly. LOL
