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.
"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."
Also made the recording inputsystem not selectable for that sample as that needs some code modification in the sample to make it work.
It was not possible to run it with openGL because the creation of the windowInfo object was faulty, it might have worked on linux, but it didn't work on windows.
Also updated a few deprecated calls for OpenGL.
Closing an OpenGL application did wrongly throw an exception when an effect gets disposed, this is fixed now and the memory usage was slightly reduced.
For DirectX 11, which didn't work for the samples out of the box, it was changed that the sharpdx effect dll's are now part of the directx 11 rendersystem so that they don't have to be copied over manually anymore.
Did some very small change to the RecordingGamePad class which makes it work if no data is recorded or played back.
"Changes the base assembly to resolve the relative path of the ContentManager from GetExecutingAssembly to GetEntryAssembly. Allows for ANX Applications that have been loaded via an AppDomain from another Directory than the executing assembly to not crash because it couldn't find the necessary files. Standalone applications still work the usual way."
- Added default value for target platform when reading cproj files
Compiler GUI:
- fixed issue #1143, a message box should now be displayed if project path is wrong
- added default case for empty configuration when loading projects
