If a model was imported with TargetRealTimeMaximumQuality and then
drawn, it causes a blue screen on my system (Nvidia Geforce GTC 650,
Driver version 353.62)
Also disabled Content recreation if a content project is launched with
the visual studio debugger.
Remove build message saying that a content file is still valid and will
be skipped.
Use OnApply for Effects, instead of an internal PreBindSetParameters.
Removed unnecessary dependencies from EffectParameterCollection and
EffectTechniqueCollection.
Moved Apply from INativeEffect to INativeEffectPass as Apply can only be
called on an EffectPass.
Added IDisposable to many Native object interfaces.
Added an InputLayoutManager so the InputLayouts don't get created on
every call.
Increased the amount of shared code for the GraphicsDevice between DX10
and DX11.
Simplified the amount of stuff the Draw calls do.
It's possible to use specific renderPasses when drawing and the drawing
methods of the GraphicsDevice don't draw all effectPasses of an effec
anymore.
Fixed the bug that a DynamicVertexBuffer created a staging buffer when
setting Elements for DX10 and DX11, which was unnecessary. Also it
didn't create a staging before for normal VertexBuffers which made it
not possible to set data there.
Implement EffectAnnotations for DX10.
Fixed SetRenderTargets for DX11.
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.
Convert AudioSample Project file from XNA to ANX and don't throw an
exception if a PCM encoded Wave File should be loaded because it can't
be converted to PCM.
Additionally, the Visual Studio extension will now automatically filter
out unsupported platforms, atleast for now, otherwise the build breaks.
Make ContentCompilerGui compatible to recent changes in pipeline and did
some usability changes.
Make the Visual Studio Extension work even if the ANX Framework is not
installed additionally..
Improve that the path for assembly refernces in a content project
doesn't get automatically updated, only if the reference is actually
saved, this is so you can specify a relative path yourself.
Fix missing icon for ContentProject when it was opened with Visual
Studio.
Made create_shaders.bat directly executable under windows by fixing the
directory separators.
Fixed a performance problem in the Visual Studio extension where no importer or processor was selected for an asset.
Fixed that the asset names for Uri encoded in the build output.
Fixed that errors when serializing assets get logged.
Sped up ImporterManager.GuessImporterByFileExtension, which caused performance problems if many assemblies are loaded into the current AppDomain.
Made the AssimpImporter library deploy the binary files again (hopefully just a temporary solution until we've found a better way.)
Provide a extension for TargetPlatform enum for getting the DisplayName of an entry.
Changed that ProcessorManager.GetProcessorDisplayName doesn't throw an exception if no processor with the given name exists, which now mimicks the same behavior as in importerManager.GetImporterDisplayName.
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.
