Also did some Refactoring for Classes that implement and use
INativeBuffer.
The memory usage reduction for rendertargets resulted in some
refactoring of the directx texture classes.
Also added DebugNames for some DirectX resources in case of a debug
build.
Replaced the old VS templates with ones that offer more flexiblity.
Started replacing the Content Project for the samples with our custom project type.
Inlcuded a basic not yet working AssimpImporter.
"Removed the SupportedPlatformsImpl classes and replaced them with a new SupportedPlatforms attribute on the assembly level.
Removed a few class constructors which could cause problems when loading a game.
Made ResetElapsedTime in the game class reset to 0 instead of TimeSpan.MinValue.
Removed the restriction in the InputDeviceFactory for which InputDevices are supported.
Added a Logger for Metro which works with the current Logger implementation.
Changed that when a platform is recognized that is higher than Windows 8, it gets treated like Windows 8, not like Windows 7.
Due to the SupportedPlatforms change, the assembly loader is now faster in finding out which assemblies contains addIns. For not Metro system, it's also added that a warning gets written if an AddIn references a different ANX version than that of the running assembly.
OpenGL and DirectX have been updated to the newest versions.
XAudio system uses now the same SharpDX version as all the other systems.
ParameterBuffer for WindowsMetro gets now correctly created by considering the size constraints for constant buffers.
Fixed an erroneous finalizer in the xaudio system.
Made the metro projects convert to Windows 8.1, as Windows 8.0 is not supported by the newer SharpDX versions. It's now also necessary to use at least Visual Studio 2013 to build the Metro versions.
Made the samples work again on Windows."
"Fixed the creation of the swap chain for windows metro and removed the dependency of the Metro Rendersystem onto the Metro Platformsytem.
All occurrences of WindowHandles have been replaced with a custom WindowHandle type which should work out of the box in most cases, but does still represent a breaking change to XNA.
The ProjectConverter for Metro was adjusted so that with just changing the way the application is initialized, most projects that worked with ANX before should now work under win rt. The sample SimpleNoContent does now work out of the box for win rt, after a project conversion.
The application name for win rt apps is now a guid, the display name stayed the same though. That's to be more compliant with the way win rt apps are normally created.
The default namespace and namespace of the classes for the Sample "SimpleNoContent" is renamed from "SimpleModernUI" to "SimpleNoContent".
With the new way win rt apps are initialized for ANX, it's necessary to first create the WindowsGameHost for WinRT with a handler how to create the game instance and give that to the CoreApplication object to run it.
Also took care of a few annoying bugs when working with win rt and ANX where no InputDevices could be created on the first frame (Issue #1164 ) and that it wasn't possible to use the localfolder of the application on the first update and all the other stuff for which an instance of the Application class was necessary."
- Build system optimizations
- Extended ProjectConverter: DX and SharpDX assemblies are now removed from linux projects to prevent errors
- Fixed a bunch of compiler warnings
- Removed DX11MetroShaderGenerator assembly. It is now included in ANX.Framework.Content.Pipeline
- Removed HLSLParser assembly. It is now included in ANX.Framework.Content.Pipeline.
- Removed shader parser from GL3-RenderSystem. It is now included in ANX.Framework.Content.Pipeline.
- Removed RenderSystem dependencies from StockShaderCodeGenerator (sscg) tool
- removed ANX.BaseDirectX and replaced it using shared source files
- renamed ANX.Framework.Windows.DX10 to ANX.RenderSystem.Windows.DX10
- some refactoring in ANX.RenderSystem.Windows.DX10
- some refactoring in ANX.RenderSystem.Windows.DX11
- fixed some minor issues in DX10 stock shader generation
- fixed sample projects
There's still an issue with the AddIn-System: The WindowsGame sample does not work currently.
- Implemented AlphaTestEffect and EnvironmentMapEffect classes
- Added a lightmap.png and improved the DualTextureSample to show the real deal
- Removed old Metro configurations from csproj-files and converted them anew
- Added DualTextureSample to SampleCatalog.xml
- Fixed a compile error in the PsVitaGameTimer
- PsVitaConverter now removes the not available System.Net reference from projects
- Refactored the AddIn-System to allow merged assemblies (for metro, android, etc. later on)
- Added empty PsVita Sound and Media System modules
- Fixed 2 small missing excludes in the build script
- Cleaned the License headers in the shader files
- Some other refactorings
- added a ArgumentNullException to EffectParameter in DirectX 10 RenderSystem (was a unhandled exception)
- fixed a issue in SpriteBatch when no draw call was made between begin and end calls (unhandled exception)
- Started Windows, Metro and Linux Platform-Plugins
- Moved the RecordingSample to the Samples folder
- Started two samples for using the graphics device in a WinForms and Wpf Editor
- Refactorings in the AddIn-System
- Moved the Window initialization-code to the Platform modules
- Changed the License text in all code files which is now way smaller
- Started ProjectConverter tool which converts all the projects and solution to the target configuration
- Changed the SupportedPlatform names in the Resource files
- Changed the WIN8 define to WINDOWSMETRO which is actually meant
- Removed NLog and started our own Logger class
- Many more stuff...
- Made the plugin handling internally way simpler (no tons of duplicated code anymore)
- Added empty MediaSystem to have a default for now (Windows.OpenAL)
- Added a PercentageCompleteAttribute which will be used to mark the current state of a class (0-100%)
- Improved handling of GameWindow handle (needed for mouse and keyboard support)
- Improved exception handling while creating mouse and keyboard instances from InputDevice AddIns.
- Fixed some sample issues (and opened issues at codeplex for some remaining issues)
- added creators for concrete InputDevice instances
- added a factory to manage InputDeviceCreators which are located in AddIn assemblies
- implemented some InputDeviceCreators in ANX.InputSystem.Windows.XInput as reference
- created the new InputSystem: ANX.InputSystem.Standard which is the default container for the new InputDevices. It is replaceable by the ANX.InputSystem.Recording e.g.
- added ANX.InputSystem.Standard to build script and MSI-Installer build script
- added ANX.InputSystem.Recording to the MSI-Installer build script
- implemented AvailableNetworkSessions (and fixed another wrong class reported by ANXStatusComparer)
- updated WindowsGame sample to support only one InputSystem at the time (replaced multi SelectBox with ComboBox)
- renamed ANX.InputSystem.Windows.XInput to ANX.InputDevices.Windows.XInput because it no longer contains a InputSystem but InputDevices
This version is UNSTABLE and not TESTED because of massive changes regarding the InputSystem !!!
- added new media files and licensing information
- some work on GraphicsDeviceManager to solve issue #461
- RenderSystemDX10: implemented DepthStencilBuffer handling
- fixed default size of GameWindow and BackBuffer to 800x480
