28 December 2006 - CRM32Pro, EditorDPF and glSDLBenchmark updated. |
||
| - |
glSDLBenchmark v1.20 provides the following improvements: - Fixed a wrong output message. - Added windib backend to the benchmarks. |
|
| - | EditorDPF v4.00 provides the following improvements: Fonts: - It automatically updates old fonts v1.0 to new v2.0. - It supports a new feature: kerning. Sprites: - It can manage sprites with a maximum of 128 animations with 128 frames each one. - It automatically updates old sprites v1.0 to new v2.0. - It supports new features: hotspots and frames interval per each animation. IButton: - Each button state can have its colorkey. - The range and default value of slider buttons now is displayed on an user friendly way. Tiles: - It automatically updates old tiles v1.0 to new v2.0. - It supports a new feature: independent X(width) and Y(height) offset values. - Show a grid to see each tile on the tileset. The colorkey is specified using individual RGB values on all affected tabs. The semantics of colorkey have changed: Before: the value of 0 disabled it. Now: -1 to disable it, but 0 will keep it enabled!. Added a new datablocks checking with autorecovery feature. Removed a memory leak on each tab at closing time. Linked with CRM32Pro v4.97. |

10 September 2006 - CRM32Pro, EditorDPF and SpacePong updated. |
||
| - | SpacePong v1.80 provides the following improvements: - New in-game graphics by Worvast!. - Fully translated to english. - Using render callbacks in the menu and in the game loops. - Fixed a few bugs. |
|
| - |
EditorDPF v3.80 provides the following improvements: - The compactation process uses by default DPFACCESS_NORMAL instead of DPFACCESS_LOWLEVEL but there is a new checkbox to force to use DPFACCESS_LOWLEVEL. Anyway, we only recommend to use DPFACCESS_LOWLEVEL when DPFACCESS_NORMAL fails with corrupted blocks. - New button "New" on each tab to create a new item. - Bugs fixed on Images,Tiles and Sprites which caused a wrong colorkey importing some images. - Linked with CRM32Pro v4.95. |
|
| - | CRM32Pro
v4.95 provides the following improvements: INetwork: - Major code revision to improve stability. - Encapsulated all SDL_net functions to get a fully threads safe API. - Internal code now is threads safe. - Removed TCP limit packet size of 8192 bytes. - Each client can easy access to information(name,IP,latency) of others client(including itself). - Secure transmission layer to avoid any data modification, data replay or data tampering. - Added Info() member to show a lot of useful information at any point of time. - Added SetCoreServerCallback() member to hook a server callback to validate or deny the sent data. - Added new GetClientsInfo() member to get information about all the connected clients - Added new IsServer(),IsClient(),GetMyIP(),GetMyName() members to improve the functionality. - Init(): + Avoid doubles initializations. - Quit(): + Close all subsystem using a right way. - ConnectTo(): + Fixed some memory leaks when the conection fails. + While it is waiting for server connection confirmation, with ESCAPE key it halts the attempt. + Improved error checking. - QueryListClients() has been renamed to QueryClientsInfo(). It is used to update the information(latency) about all the connected clients (including itself). - QueryKillClient(), QueryKillServer() and QueryListClients() now return a possible error. - CreateServer(): + Fixed some memory leaks when the creation fails. - Fixed bugs: + The client now detects internal socket failures and does a right exit procedure. + The server now detects internal socket failures and does a right exit procedure. - Note that due to deep changes on INetwork API, there is not binary compatibility with previous versions so you have to compile and link your application using this new one. IStuffDPF: - By default, now Compact() does not use LowLevel access due to extremly slow method. - Great speed improvement saving and loading encripted blocks (music,sound and text blocks for example). Extended and improved library documentation including some graphics schemes. Improved all examples. Added new example: NetChat2 using INetwork with authoritative server mode. |

10 July 2006 - CRM32Pro and EditorDPF updated. |
||
| - |
EditorDPF v3.71 provides the following improvements: - Linked with CRM32Pro v4.91. |
|
| - | CRM32Pro
v4.91 provides the following improvements: ICursor: - Added SetSmooth() member to allow to enable/disable the smooth cursor movement. By default, it is enabled. - Fixed a little problem when in some cases, the first cursor autorestore didnt work fine. IStuffDPF: - Added a pre-cached system to speed up the openning performance. All the examples are using a simple animated sprite instead of a static one. New SDL 1.2.10 has defined new basic types: For example, Uint32 was 'unsigned int' and now it is 'unsigned __int32'. Due to this, It was not possible to use the v4.90 with Visual Studio 6.0 but we have fixed this little issue and now, you can use again the old-good VC6. |

1 July 2006 - CRM32Pro, EditorDPF and SpacePong updated. |
||
| - | We have suffered a
delay of two months according to our roadmap. This was
due to we have added a few improvements that were not
foreseen in our initial roadmap (for example, sprite
movement using a very smooth way) and we have fixed a
couple of important bugs. As the INetwork new code with
several improvements is not ready at 100%, in this new
version, it is not included, it will be included
very soon. For further information, please read the
roadmap. |
|
| - | SpacePong v1.50 provides the following improvements: - Improved padders control. - Smooth sprites movement thanks to new code of CRM32Pro SDK. - Improved AI. - Better ball and padder movement. - Better padder with ball interaction. - Improved code structure. |
|
| - | CRM32Pro
v4.90 provides the following improvements: CSprite: - New unified internal system.ied internal system. - Removed Update() member. - Added SetAnimFactor() member to set the animation speed factor. - Added MoveTo() member to move the sprite using a very smooth way. ITimeSystem: - Added Fixed Logic Rate concept. All main code have been rewritten to be very accurate. - Smoothest operation with or without double buffer screen. - It will drop render frames to fullfil with logic rate. - You can set a logic rate lower than render rate. - GetTime() and GetSeconds() work always even if you have not called to CRM32Pro.Update(). IStuffDPF: - New DPF v4.0 format. It has been rewritten to be more secure and reliable. - Automatic DPF protection to avoid external modification. - Possibility of protect your DPF contents with heavy encryption scheme using a password from 8 to 56 characters. - Two access method: fast mode to use in normal operation and lowlevel mode to fix a corrupted DPF. - Old DPF v3.0 are automatically converted to new v4.0. - Due to its nature, opening DPFs is quite intensive (four times more than previous version) so keep this in mind. If this issue is problematic, we will implement a pre-cached system to improve dramatically the opening performance. CFont: - Fixed a bug in the coordinates system. Thanks to Ivo Wubbels to report it! - Fixed a minor bug in the importing code. Thanks to Ivo Wubbels to report it! - Some members have been renamed: + TextWidth(char *text) has been renamed to StringWidth(char *str). + TextCursorAt(char *text,int px) has been renamed to SetCursorAt(char *str,int px). + XCenteredString(SDL_Surface *Surface, int x, char *text, SDL_Rect* clip=NULL) has been renamed to PutStringXCenter(SDL_Surface *Surface, int x, char *str, SDL_Rect* clip=NULL); + YCenteredString(SDL_Surface *Surface, int y, char *text, SDL_Rect* clip=NULL) has been renamed to PutStringYCenter(SDL_Surface *Surface, int y, char *str, SDL_Rect* clip=NULL); ICursor: - Fixed render problems with doublebuffer modes. - Smooth cursor movement independent of logic rate. - Fixed some bugs with autorestores. CRM32Pro main interface: - Added a callback function to blit your graphics fulfilling the Rendering Frame Rate. - Added new bMTFriendly flag to Config struct to give the execution flow to OS each internal update. Library size on Win32(mingw32) and Linux was reduced. Added new example: SpriteTest. Extended and improved library documentation. Updated to SDL 1.2.10 CVS (dated on 21-May-2006) with loads of bugs fixed and improvements. Fixed an critical graphic performance issue. Thanks to Tobias Schweers to report it! |
