• New wide text actions and redefinition of two existing formats:

  • Font::getFontHeight() has been replaced by Font::getBaseline(). Returns the distance to the baseline.

I downloaded TOUCHGFX 4.21.2 version and noticed that if I change something in one file it recompiles all project. Does it really needed?
