16.06

New Features:

• SDL2_FNAPlatform: Full support for global mouse state, rather than just window mouse state
• SDL2_GameWindow: Full support for AllowUserResizing via SDL_SetWindowResizable
  • FNA_WORKAROUND_WINDOW_RESIZABLE is expected to be removed for SDL 2.0.5.

Fixes:

• Effect:
  • More verbose error reporting on failure to parse effects
  • Fix a crash on failure to compile effects
• SpriteBatch:
  • Various microoptimizations and GC performance improvements
  • Fix a crash on invalid SpriteEffects parameter inputs
• Design: Fix list separator strings
• SDL2_FNAPlatform: Fix scaled SaveAsPng results being completely transparent
• DrawableGameComponent: Dispose is now explicitly overloaded, per XNA4 spec

16.05.05

Fixes a SpriteBatch MatrixTransform calculation regression from 16.05.

16.05

New Features:

• FrameworkDispatcher implemented, supports Audio and Media callbacks
• SpriteBatch: MatrixTransform calculation is now significantly faster
• Effect:
  • Tons of optimizations, notably for large effect parameter arrays
  • Tons of accuracy fixes, notably for ID3DXEffect::SetRawValue users
  • Quaternion parameter support

Fixes:

• SDL2_FNAPlatform:
  • GamePad: TONS of dead zone accuracy fixes
  • WM_PAINT event accuracy fixes, mostly for Windows
• OpenALDevice: Fix ALsizei type size, should fix possible crashes in OpenAL Soft 64-bit
• Content: Fix SoundEffectReader for nonseekable streams
• LogHookEXT: Hooks can now be set before init, to get messages from FNAPlatform static initialization

16.04

New Features:

• Effect: 2x2 Matrix parameter support
• IGLDevice/IALDevice: Rewrote internal FNA platform APIs to use pointers rather than templates
  • This will make new backends easier to write, but should not be apparent otherwise.

Fixes:

• SDL2_FNAPlatform: GamePad data is now loaded as soon as SDL inits
• PackedVector: Rewrote basically the whole namespace for XNA accuracy fixes
• TextureCollection: Check for disposed textures (DEBUG mode only)
• XACT: Rewrote NumCueInstances tracking to improve instance limiting accuracy
• Song:
  • Fix ObjectDisposedException on MediaPlayer.Play for inactive songs
  • Fix list of supported file extensions (should be .ogg and .oga)
• VideoPlayer: Fix disposing when Videos are never played

16.03

Fixes:

• SDL2_FNAPlatform: Load gamecontrollerdb.txt before SDL_Init
• VideoPlayer no longer requires a Game instance before construction
• Various XNA API accuracy fixes

16.02.14

New Features:

• Effect: Implement StructureMembers
  • MojoShader has been updated accordingly
• GraphicsAdapter: Implement IsDefaultAdapter
• OpenGLDevice: Added support for ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex

Fixes:

• SpriteBatch: Too many optimizations to count
• StorageDevice: ShowSelector/OpenContainer are not asynchronous
• SDL2_FNAPlatform: Display modes are now sorted from smallest to largest

16.02.02

Fixes:

• GraphicsDeviceManager: Fix timing accuracy of ApplyChanges PreparingDeviceSettings events
• Makefile: Include EmbeddedResource files in builds

16.02

New Features:

• Replace GamePlatform with FNAPlatform, a new portability layer
• Added LogHookEXT extension. NLog/log4net users rejoice!
• Keyboard: Added FNA_KEYBOARD_USE_SCANCODES environment variable
  • The USE_SCANCODES build option has consequently been removed
• Multimonitor support in general has been dramatically improved
  • These improvements require SDL 2.0.4 or greater
  • See GraphicsAdapter/GraphicsDeviceManager changes from this release
• GraphicsAdapter:
  • Implement Description property
• TextInputEXT:
  • Added StartTextInput/StopTextInput methods
  • Added support for the Home, End, and Delete characters
• DynamicSoundEffectInstance:
  • SubmitBuffer offset parameter implemented
  • SubmitFloatBufferEXT offset/count overload added and implemented

Fixes:

• Replaced generic Exceptions with more explicit types (i.e. NotSupportedException)
• GraphicsAdapter:
  • Adapters property now stores an adapter for all displays
• GraphicsDeviceManager:
  • Fix ToggleFullScreen behavior when changing resolution
  • ApplyChanges calls PreparingDeviceSettings before device resets
• OpenGLDevice: Fix Short4 vertex attribute accuracy
• Various fixes introduced by SDL 2.0.4
• Makefile configuration fixes

16.01

New Features:

• GamePad: FNA_GAMEPAD_NUM_GAMEPADS provides control over the number of controllers supported by FNA.

Fixes:

• XACT: When the max Cue instance count is reached, Cues that are less than 80ms old (~5 frames in a 60Hz game) are prioritized over new Cues. This prevents excessive duplicate sounds being played within frame-by-frame intervals.

15.12.21

First official release of FNA!
