+------------------------ RELEASE 1.4.0 ------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This release incorporates lots of small, incremental improvements.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Improved OSX support: mouselook, fmod fixes, icon filename.
|
|
|
+* Better memory usage tracking from pstats.
|
|
|
+* Removed dependencies on NSPR.
|
|
|
+* New default-model-extension prc variable (instead of old implicit-extension behavior)
|
|
|
+* New arc emitter in particle system.
|
|
|
+* Multiple different Actors can be flattened into one node.
|
|
|
+* Texture compression in DX8, DX9.
|
|
|
+* New features to support low-memory platforms.
|
|
|
+* ParametricCurveDrawer etc. officially deprecated in favor of RopeNode.
|
|
|
+* DynamicTextFont::RenderMode allows generating geometric fonts (instead of always using texture-based fonts).
|
|
|
+* Some integrated support for ODE (not yet polished and ready)
|
|
|
+* New RigidBodyCombiner unifies independently moving bodies into a single Geom as a rendering optimization.
|
|
|
+* Support for depth-stencil textures.
|
|
|
+* Better support for fullscreen mode on Linux.
|
|
|
+* Panda GL/DX windows can be subordinate to other windows (Win32 only).
|
|
|
+* Better multithreaded protection.
|
|
|
+* Interrogate correctly handles "const" vs. non-const objects.
|
|
|
+* PlaneNode::set_clip_effect allows user-defined cull planes (in addition to clip planes).
|
|
|
+* Several low-level rendering optimizations.
|
|
|
+* Simple occlusion culling with PipeOcclusionCullTraverser.
|
|
|
+* Optional bounding boxes (instead of spheres): "bounds-type box", "bounds-type best"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I have no doubt that there will be a few significant bugs in this release, like all X.X.0 releases. - Josh
