<p>Release Notes (2012-11-20)</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 class="title">General Information</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>A new version 2.4.1 of SharpDX is available today for download.</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This version is a maintenance version, mainly fixing several issues and improving the SharpDX Toolkit.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>PrimitiveBatch from DirectXTk has been ported to the Toolkit. Also, there is a new convenient method to draw a full screen quad using GraphicsDevice.DrawQuad. See details about changes in the Toolkit below.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note about using the Toolkit effect compiler (tkfxc.exe): You can use either the version from:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The directory Bin\Net40Release if you have DirectX End-User Runtime June 2010 installed. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Or you can use directly Bin\Win8Desktop-net40 which is shipped with D3DCompiler_46.dll</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Both versions can compiled shaders for all Windows (from Desktop, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8, except if you are using latest D3D11.1 features which are only available using d3dcompiler_46.dll)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>As It was explained in a <a href="http://sharpdx.org/news/changes-support-community">previous post</a>, SharpDX is now accepting code contribution from the community. This release is integrating contributions from early contributors to SharpDX on github!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Concerning the support, I'm focusing my primary support for the core functions of the following API:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Direct3D11 (not Effect11 framework), DXGI, D3DCompiler, XAudio2 and Audio part of MediaFoundation.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The toolkit, the Toolkit.Graphics and compiler. The Toolkit.Game assembly has a lower priority (for non desktop platforms).</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For other API, I strongly encourage the community to participate to fix bugs and/or add improvements, as they have a lower priority support now in SharpDX.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Concerning the forum, my personnal investement to respond to API usage has now a much lower priority, as explained in the "Changes in Support and Community" post.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, as indicated on the contact form, I will not respond to any private inquiry about SharpDX bug notice or API usage. </p>
|
||
