Version 1.x-dev

Version 1.3.2

2015-08-26

  • Support for compiling alternate shader binaries and embedding them within assets and library source.
  • Fix for issues relating to appending a map function Float32Array.
  • Added helpers createTimedInstance, createBurstInstance, createMultiBurstInstance to ParticleManager.
  • Added additional static type constraints to ParticleEmitter interface: getBurstCount and getTotalLifeTime
  • Added timeout field to ParticleInstance mirroring the values used when it was created.
  • Changed the behaviour of createChildInstance timeout parameter to inherit parent instance timeout if unspecified.
  • Added support for standard derivative functions ddx, ddy, fwidth in shaders to cgfx2json and GraphicsDevice. Use graphicsDevice.isSupported("STANDARD_DERIVATIVES") to check for hardware support.
  • Added PIXELFORMAT_D32 to GraphicsDevice and completed support for depth textures. Use graphicsDevice.isSupported("DEPTH_TEXTURE") to check for hardware support.
  • Added clone method to DrawParameters object.
  • The DrawParameters object is now shadowing the Shader parameters set by its TechniqueParameters in order to optimize the dispatch of the parameters values by GraphicsDevice.drawArray. This significant optimization does require a call to DrawParameters.setTechniqueParameters if properties are added to or removed from one of its TechniqueParameters objects, otherwise the DrawParameters object will not be aware of the changes.
  • Removed the Turbulenz browser plugin for Windows, since all modern browsers now support WebGL. Correspondingly, samples and apps in the SDK no longer ship with builds that target the plugin (.release.html and .tzjs files).
  • Added closeExistingSessions option to TurbulenzServices.createGameSession function.
  • Added TurbulenzServices.onGameSessionClosed property to detect when a gamesession has been closed remotely.
  • Added closeExistingSessions option to the Tic-Tac-Toe app.
  • Added addWebsocket function to the NetworkLatencySimulator
  • Added missing normalized VERTEXFORMAT_ values to the GraphicsDevice documentation
  • Added frustum planes and frustum points order to the Camera documentation
  • Added createGlobalSource to SoundDevice for creating global sound sources like music.
  • Added methods to Draw2DSprite to set RGB and Alpha color components.
  • Added destroy method to CharacterController.
  • Added setColorTexture0, setColorTexture1, setColorTexture2, and setColorTexture3 methods to RenderTarget.
  • Added support for 16-bit (aka half float) and 32-bit floating-point texture formats PIXELFORMAT_RGBA16F, PIXELFORMAT_RGB16F, PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32F and PIXELFORMAT_RGB32F. Use graphicsDevice.isSupported("TEXTURE_HALF_FLOAT") or graphicsDevice.isSupported("TEXTURE_FLOAT") to check for hardware support.
  • Added m43MulM33 function to MathDevice.
