Changes in ogl-es (not yet released - will be merged with trunk at some point)
- Add support for (experimental) WebGL1 driver for emscripten (still work in process)
- Add support for emscripten. Thanks @labsin for the patch.
- Add IVideoDriver::getAmbientLight function so shaders can access global ambient light easier
- Merge material changes for COGLES1MaterialRenderer_LIGHTMAP and COpenGLMaterialRenderer_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL which had been done in OGL in trunk (r2740) to ensure materials look the same on all platforms.
- Added support for PVR textures. Loader offer support for compressed DXT1-5, PVRTC/PVRTC-II, ETC1/ETC2 texture formats.
- Fix bug that AnimatedMeshSceneNode ignored ReadOnlyMaterials flag when checking materials for transparent render passes.
- Unify checks if materials should use transparent render pass with new IVideoDriver::needsTransparentRenderPass function.
- Material.ZWriteEnable is now of type E_ZWRITE instead of bool. This allows now setting materials to always "on" independent of material type and transparency.
This breaks compiling. To have old values replace false with EZW_OFF and true with EWZ_AUTO.
- Materials EMT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER and EMT_TRANSPARENT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER on OpenGL are now same as in D3D9. Before GL used a sphere-map for those instead of reflection.
- Bugfix: CGUIToolBar automatic placement no longer outside of screen when there are modals screens when creating it.
Or when there are other window elements going over full window-size.
Thanks to Stephen Lynx for the bugreport and to S<>rgio Augusto Vianna for writing a test case with a bug example.
Changes: a) Never move the toolbar below it's parents lower border. b) No longer check all element-types, but only try to be below other toolbars or menues.
- Add a normalType parameter to IGeometryCreator::createCylinderMesh
- Add a normalsUpdate parameter to IMeshManipulator::transform to allow updating the normals with the inverse-transpose of the transformation matrix.
- Bugfix: quaternion::slerp now uses lerpN instead of lerp to keep result normalized.
- Add function quaternion::lerpN which is like lerp but normalizes the result.
- Add function ISceneManager::createShadowVolumeSceneNode to allow custom ISceneNode's to use shadows.
- CGUITabControl serialization changed to allow using custom tabs (before only CGUITab could be serialized).
There was a lot of rewriting involved, including some minor interface changes (IGUITab* can now be added directly for example).
See http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52344 for a thread about this.
Thanks @chronologicaldot for bringing this up, writing a patch proposal and even writing test.
- CGUITabControl no longer eats EMIE_LMOUSE_PRESSED_DOWN (doesn't seem to need it, was just done for a planned feature which is not implemented yet).
- Removing a tab in CGUITabControl will now also remove the tab-element. Fixes problems like tabs still being around & visible when you removed the active tab.
- Add example 28.CubeMapping.
Based originally on EnvCubeMap example from irrSpintz engine.
Including a cubemap texture from Emil Persson, aka Humus from http://www.humus.name
- IGeometryCreator::createCubeMesh has a new parameter to allow creating different types of cube meshes.
Added a new cube-mesh with meshbuffers per side.
Also single buffer cube-mesh now normalizes it's normals.
- Bugfix: CBillboardTextSceneNode no longer disregards IsVisible flag
- FPS-camera rotation now smoother.
First bug was that it would sometimes skip back because it worked with wrong values for the screen-center position.
Second (and bigger) bug was that it ignored all cursor-movement which happened between device->run() and the point where
the animator did run. Tiny side-effect your camera will now rotate generally faster.
- Fix ms3d loader to work on big endian systems which need floats to be aligned in memory. Thanks @ kas1e, Corto and Salas for the patch (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52538).
- Bugfix: COBJMeshFileLoder no longer overwrites transparency value with 1.0 when it's set before the diffuse color value in the mtl file. Thanks @Boshen for bugreport (#445).
- Bugfix: OpenGL no longer antialiasing stencil buffer when driver has antialiasing disabled.
- Add IShadowVolumeSceneNode::setOptimization to allow disabling optimizations for meshes were contour shadows fail.
- Stencil shadows work now also with directional light
- Add example 27.PostProcessing written by Boshen Guan
- Drivers can now try to create textures from images in more exotic color formats (like floating point formats). It depends on the driver how much that works (so far mainly OpenGL can handle it somewhat).
- Fix OpenGL to no longer switch colors red and blue in 24-bit RGB format. But warnings added to documentation to avoid 24-bit textures as they are generally just trouble.
- No longer try to convert ECF_R5G6B5 to ECF_A1R5G5B5 on OpenGL (just made texture-loading seem to fail).
- Add flag SIrrlichtCreationParameters.WindowResizable. Mainly to work around troubles with SDL+OpenGL on some platforms where resizing later can be tricky/impossible.
- Add operator[] to vector2d and vector3d
- Bugfix: IrrlichtDevice::isWindowMinimized no longer returns true when it's maximized on Windows.
- Ignore degenerated faces in obj file loader when they would generate triangles where 2 vertices use identical indices.
- Add CMatrix4::transformVec4 to transform vectors with 4 elements (thx @ devsh)
- Add ITexture::getOriginalColorFormat to access color format of images used to create a texture
- Add IMemoryReadFile interface which allows direct access to memory block used as file.
- Add IReadFile::getType() interface to all users to find out what kind of class implements that interface.
- .dae/Collada reader/writer now handle whitespace in texture-filenames with escape characters (handle them as xs:anyURI).
- Add function string::insert.
- EditBox now still allows overwriting characters when the text-length is at max.
- Bugfix: CMatrix4::transformPlane was calculating the wrong plane-normal before.
- SViewFrustum::recalculateBoundingBox no longer includes camera position in the bounding-box. Only using frustum corners now. Thx @DevSH for bugreport & patch.
- Camera uses now OGL projection matrices with OpenGL driver. Fixes wrong near-plane values with OpenGL (showed too much before).
- Add a flag to most CMatrix4::buildProjectionMatrix functions to allow creating OpenGL projection matrices (target range of -w to w instead of 0 to w).
- Bugfix: CCameraSceneNode resets the IsOrthogonal flag to false now when it recalculates a projection matrix.
- SViewFrustum::setFrom and SViewFrustum constructor now use a parameter to allow to set the correct near clipping plane when the projection matrix doesn't use a target depth range of 0 to z, but for example -z to z. So OGL projections matrices can now also use it.
- Remove code to read boundingbox element in Collada reader as it's not in Collada specification.
- .dae/Collada reader now converts from Collada's right-handed to Irrlicht's left handed coordinate system (switching z to -z)
- Add irr::string::eraseTrailingFloatZeros to kick out trailing 0's for strings generated from floats.
- .dae/Collada writer now converts from Irrlicht's left-handed to Collada's right-handed coordinate system (switching z to -z)
- Switch Collada writer to utf8 xml's.
- Add IXMLWriterUTF8
- IColladaMeshWriter::writeScene got an additional flag to decide if root should be written.
- _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ now set to 8 by default. So we can use now 8 textures per material without recompiling the engine.
Additionally there's a new global variable irr::video::MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_USED which can be set to lower numbers to avoid most of the costs coming with this for people not needing more textures.
But using more textures via _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ also has become less calculation intensive than it was in the past, so in release builds the difference is hardly noticeable.
- Serialization fixes for materials in irr format (in IVideoDriver::createAttributesFromMaterial/fillMaterialStructureFromAttributes).
- Add serialization for ToolTip to IGUIElement. Thanks @chronologicaldot for patch (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52374)
- Try recovering lost device in D3D9 for 3 seconds when device reset fails after resizing Window.
- Add typedefs like value_type and size_type to array, list and map like std containers have. Thanks @SLC for idea (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52363)
- Remove unused enum E_LOST_RESOURCE
- CGUIComboBox uses now EGDS_SCROLLBAR_SIZE instead of EGDS_WINDOW_BUTTON_WIDTH for the width of the listbox button to allow changing that without changing window topbar height.
Thanks @LunaRebirth for reporting. (Forum: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52297&p=303682#p303682)
- CGUIListbox, CGUITreeView and CGUITable now resize scrollbars when EGDS_SCROLLBAR_SIZE in the skin changes without having to re-create the elements.
This also fixes the problem that drawing looked wrong when this value got changed after the elements were created.
Thanks @LunaRebirth for reporting. (Forum: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52297&p=303682#p303682)
- Scrollbar buttons can no longer get larger than half the ScrollBar element to avoid them overlapping.
- Add IVideoDriver::swapMaterialRenderers to allow swapping the renderer used to render a certain material.
- IMeshManipulator functions createMeshWith1TCoords, createMeshWith2TCoords and createMeshWithTangents no longer weld vertices while converting meshes. Use IMeshManipulator::createMeshWelded if you need that welding.
- Add ITerrainSceneNode::setFixedBorderLOD to handle connecting terrain nodes without gaps. Thanks @diho for the bugreport, testcase and a patch proposal (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=51220).
- PLY loader now works with files which use "st" instead of "uv" for texture coordinates (like generated from Blender or Assimp). Thanks @JLouisB for patch (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52261).
- STL writer does now also write binary files when EMWF_WRITE_BINARY flag is used. Based on patch from JLouisB (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52261).
(EMWF_WRITE_COMPRESSED also still works for downward compatibility)
- Improved PLY exporter. Thanks for Patch from JLouisB. (Forum: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52261):
- Support for UV and vertex colors.
- Support for binary PLY files export with the EMWF_WRITE_BINARY flag

- Fix bug #440 where OpenGL driver enabled second texture for single-texture materials when setMaterial was called twice. Thx@ "number Zero" for bugreport and test-case.
- Irrlicht icon now loaded with LR_DEFAULTSIZE to better support larger icon requests. Thx@ luthyr for report and bugfix.
- Cursor on X11 behaves now like on Win32 and doesn't try to clip positions to the window
- IImage::copyToWithAlpha has a new parameter to allow combining alpha value instead of replacing them. This uses new blitters called BLITTER_TEXTURE_COMBINE_ALPHA. Thx @chronologicaldot for providing this patch and @burningreggae for his feedback.
- Add _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_PARTICLES_ to control compilation of particle system
- Add IGUIImage::setDrawBackground to allow disabling background drawing even when no texture is set.
- Fix: IGUIContextMenu now raises sub-menu when they would otherwise be displayed below bottom-border of root gui element.
- Prevent initializing/quitting SDL several times when using more than one Irrlicht device.
- Reduce log-messages for "loaded texture" and "loaded mesh" from ELL_INFORMATION to ELL_DEBUG.
- Add IGUIButton::setOverrideColor to allow overriding text-color (same function as statictexts and editboxes have).
- Add functions IGUIButton::getClickShiftState and IGUIButton::getClickControlState to get shift/ctrl key-state when a button was clicked. Thanks @StarSonata for patch.
- Add function ISceneManager::clearAllRegisteredNodesForRendering.
- Add function IVideoDriver::queryTextureFormat to allow checking if a driver supports textures with a specific color format.
- ISceneManager::getMesh can now creates meshes with alternative cache-names.
- Lets the BSP loader find textures inserted with relative paths. Thx@ curaga for patch
- Slightly simplified ALLOC_STRATEGY_DOUBLE in arrays
- Add alternative BoundingBox calculation for BillboardSceneNode which can take in a camera node. Thx @Seven and @JacKDuRdEn for bugreports.
- FPS camera now supports keyboard rotation.
- Base FPS-camera movement on last position of mouse instead of always center (works better on platforms where cursor-placement is not allowed)
- Octrees with other vertex types than EVT_2TCOORDS can now also use VBO's.
- Add IOctreeSceneNode interface to control polygon clipping checks for octree scene nodes.
- Add support for different geometric primitives to meshbuffers. Thanks @gerdb for patch proposal (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45999)

- Support more keys on OSX "[]\". Thanks @neoascetic for patch (#313).
- Fix IBillboardTextSceneNode::setTextColor which did nothing in the past. It now maps to setColor instead.
- Add access functions to IBillboardTextSceneNode (getText, getFont).
- Add access functions to ITextSceneNode (getText, getTextColor, setFont, getFont).
- Try harder to move Window to custom WindowPosition set in SIrrlichtCreationParameters on X11. Thx@ Hernan Ezequiel Di Giorgi for the patch (#304).
- Fix bug in virtual filessystem which prevented createFileList from working. Thx @Cube for reporting a problem.
- ITriangleSelector now can also return meshbuffer collision information.
- core::string::split now adds delimiter to token before delimiter when keepSeparators is true. That way we never end up with 2 tokens for an original string with a single character.
- Bugfix: SMesh::recalculateBoundingBox() does now ignore empty boundingboxes of meshbuffers instead of adding them.
- IIrrXMLReader::getAttributeValueAsInt and IIrrXMLReader::getAttributeValueAsFloat can now return a custom default-value when the attribute is not found.
- core::string::split now handles ignoreEmptyTokens=false correct. Thanks @manni63 for bugreport: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51551&p=299375#p299375
- Bugfix: Previously when some material had a texture matrix and another didn't those materials were still considered identical. Which had prevented correct switching between materials with and without texture matrices.
- IWriteFile::write now returning size_t (like fwrite in c-lib). Also sizeToWrite parameter changed from u32 to size_t.
- IReadFile::read now returning size_t (like fread in c-lib). Also sizeToRead parameter changed from u32 to size_t.
- add clear function to strings.
- Collision manager now using const camera pointers.
- Several fixes for SceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse, based on http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33098&p=290746
Thanks to all people who reported and to JLouisB and kinkreet for the patches:
- Gravity is now fps independent
- Values of gravity now like documented (wasn't 1 unit = 1m before, had been 1m = current frames per second, so maybe 100 units = 1m).
Note that jump-values for fps-camera must also change when adapting gravity!
Several examples got adapted for new ranges.
- Pausing timer now pauses animator. Also doesn't reset values anymore with pauses.
- Clones no longer have 1000 times the gravity of original animator.
- Should now be fps independent
- Speedup CTriangleSelector (mainly for animated meshes)
- CTriangleSelector now supports 32-bit meshbuffers. Thanks @Wol101 for reporting and patch-proposal.
- Fix: CTriangleSelector no longer resets it's boundingbox to 0,0,0 (was wrong when a meshbuffer was not around 0)
- Fix: Collada writer now uses wrap_p for third texture wrap value instead of invalid wrap_w (thx @Yoran for bugreport)
- Several getter functions in IAttributes made const (thx @Erik Schultheis for the patch)
- Fix: CTriangleSelector no longer ignores meshbuffer transformations from skinned meshes (thx @AlexAzazel for report and test-model).
- Randomizer now returns range 0..randMax as documented and no longer 1..randMax as it did before. randMax got reduced by 1.
Note: You will generally get different numbers than before! If you need the exact old calculations, please check the corresponding sources in Irrlicht 1.8 in os.cpp/.h
- Resetting Randomizer with 0 or no longer breaks it (will be set to 1). Same for other numbers for which it wasn't defined.
- Add SMaterialLayer::TextureWrapW for cubemap texture wrap mode at W axis.
- Add cubemap texture support for D3D9 and OpenGL drivers.
- Do no longer re-calculate md2 frames when they don't change (thx @npc for reporting)
- Add multibyteToWString wrapper functions around mbstowcs which work with Irrlicht string class.
- Fix: addFileArchive now grab()'s the archive when you pass one in by pointer.
- Fix: Prevent division by 0 in CGUIScrollBar::setPos
- Fix: Add missing serialization to CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS and CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraMaya
- Fix: File-open dialog now restores the original locale after modifying it internally
- Fix first calculation of the camerascenenode boundingsphere.
- Fix bug with ignored opening brace in .X files with DeclData section. Thx @Alin for bugreport and patch.
- Fix problem with OpenGL textures cache.
- Add clear buffer flags and marked some methods used for clear buffers as deprecated.
- Fix skinned meshes not playing their last frame. Also clarified animation documentation to describe current behavior more exactly.
- Add IWriteFile::flush interface (thx @ JLouisB for the patch).
- CLightSceneNode::updateAbsolutePosition does now light recalculations. This is to fix using animators with lights.
- Fix Collada export for objects with rotations around more than 1 axis.
- Add ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraMaya::setTargetMinDistance and getTargetMinDistance.
- Add override font to IGUITreeView
- CGUIComboBox now updates selection-list when font changes while it's open (thx @ rubixcuber for bugreport)
- CAnimatedMeshSceneNode::setMesh does now set the animation speed again to that of the mesh (had been changed in 1.7, but not for obvious reasons)
- .x meshloader regards now AnimTicksPerSecond (thx @qian for a test-model and bugreport)
- Interface getMeshType moved from IAnimatedMesh up to IMesh.
- Add b3d mesh-writer. Static writer written by Hendu, support for animated meshes added by JLouisB, testing and bugfixes by CuteAlien.
- Node-collision functions of SceneCollisionManager like getSceneNodeFromScreenCoordinatesBB will now ignore collisions against empty boundingboxes.
- Cameras return again an empty boundingbox (at 0,0,0) instead of returning the frustum boundingbox (was changed in very old Irrlicht version).
You can access the frustum boundingbox through the frustum itself.
This means cameras no longer show up in the node-collision of the SceneCollisionManager (showing up there because of their frustum bounding-box was too confusing).
- Fix problem in IrrlichtDevice::setResizable on X11 that caused window titlebars to hide occasionally under the taskbar in some systems (Ubuntu, Mint).
- Added new IRenderTarget interface.
- Replace the swprintf and snprintf defines by swprintf_irr and snprintf_irr to avoid conflicts with the standard libraries (and other libraries).

- Support for Direct3D 8 removed after svn revision 5052 due to lack of maintenance.
- _IRR_IMPLEMENT_MANAGED_MARSHALLING_BUGFIX removed. This was a bugfix for VS2003 (in combination with .NET) which we haven't supported in a while.
- VS 2005 support removed after svn revision 5048.
- WinCE 6 supported removed after svn revision 5046.
- NVidia CG support removed after svn revision 5045 due to lack of maintenance. NVidia has also stopped supporting this.

- ISceneNode::deserializeAttributes uses now old values for parameters which are not in the attributes (thx @entity for noticing).
- Add interface for easier access to scrollbars for IGUIListBox, IGUITreeView and IGUITable
- Fix serializing colors as strings. Was previously mixing up strings with number-arrays and hex color values. Now using hex color values always, but also fixed the the handling when it get's number-array strings.
- Fix IAttributes::setAttribute implementation for textures (did do nothing before).
- Added support for separate blending in OpenGL and D3D9 drivers.
- Added pack_textureBlendFuncSeparate and unpack_textureBlendFuncSeparate functions, which allow to use separate blending functions in OpenGL.
- Added BlendFactor field to SMaterial which allow user to set blending factor per SMaterial set call without use EMT_ONETEXTURE_BLEND type.
- Fixed issue with blending operation set to EBO_NONE and some transparent material types.
- Add a code profiler (stop-watch style)
- Add IGUITable::getItemHeight to access item (row) height
- Add override font to IGUITable
- IGUITable can now disable the active column.
- IGUIElement::getElementFromPoint now virtual
- Fixed issue with wrongly enabled Z-writing for transparent shader materials. Thanks Hendu for this fix.
- Allow more control over particle behavior. This also changed the default behavior.
- ISceneNodeAnimators can now be disabled and paused.
- Maya camera no longer get's stuck in "rotating" state when a mouse-up event is lost (thx @ JLouisB for reporting).
- Focus behavior of IGUIEnvironment now controllable (right-click focus, mouse-over focus). Disabled elements no longer get the focus unless users enforce it.
- Buttons can now now have 7 more image-states, 1 more sprite-state and the sprites are now scaleable.
- Spritebanks can now draw scaled sprites and are a little easier to use.
- Improved i18n key input for X11 (languages like cyrillic work now).
- Fix bug that ListBox would not allow to 'tab' to the next element (thx @ FlavourBoat for reporting)
- IGUIEnvironment::getNextElement now public (was only in CGUIEnvironment before).
- Add an overwrite mode to editbox. Patch provided by Adam(aka kingadami).
- Add IGUIImages::setDrawBounds/getDrawBounds to allow coding stuff like progress bars.
- Add IGUIImages::setSourceRect/getSourceRect to allow using only parts of an image (can also be used to mirror and scroll them).
- Dev-Cpp project file removed (wasn't really supported for some time already)
- Collada dae-loader now set's the vertex colors (thx @sf17k for report and test-models)
- IAttributes interface changed. Parameters are now passed by const-ref instead of per value.
- Fix c::b project obj folder names. Some static builds had used the shared folders (thx @ gerdb for reporting)
- Add ITexture::getSource which can be used to check where the last IVideoDriver::getTexture call found the texture.
- Add IMeshTextureLoader interface and replace texture-loading algorithms in most meshloaders.
- CGUICheckBox no longer gives up focus on EMIE_LMOUSE_LEFT_UP (thx @Demre and @REDDemon for reporting)
- Bugfix: IGUIElement::addChild now prevents setting an element as it's own child.
- Bugfix: getFont for xml-fonts now also works for fonts inside archives (thx @Neirdan for bugreport)
- Added function irr::core::mergeFilename
- Add ISceneNodeAnimator::setStartTime/getStartTime to allow resetting movement animators.
- Improve speed for finalizing skinned meshes (removal of unnecessary frames after loading) (thx @ichtyander for the testmodel)
- Collada loader now instantiates camera nodes which had been ignore so far (thx @NemoStein for the test .dae)
- line2d::intersectWith has a new parameter to allow ignoring intersections with coincident lines
- vector2d::equals now has an tolerance parameter for passing the epsilon (like vector3d had). Note that this changes the default
behavior of vector2d::equals as well as functions using it like the operators for ==, !=, <, >, <=, >= when using vector2d with f64
as the tolerance is increased in that case (for f32 and integer values it shouldn't make any difference).
- Material renderers which offers blending feature (eg. EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL, EMT_ONETEXTURE_BLEND etc.) require SMaterial::BlendOperation set to other value than EBO_NONE.
- Removed support for built-in T&L variables in ASM/GLSL shaders (variables related to vertices eg. gl_MultiTexCoord0 are still supported). This change allow us to reduce CPU overhead in shader material renderers.
- IGUIEnvironment::hasFocus has now a parameter checkSubElements as subelements are usually seen as part of an element. Default unfortunately must be false due to backward compatibility.

- IGUISpinBox no longer validates values after each character type but only on KEY_ENTER and when losing focus. New behavior can be set with IGUISpinBox::setValidateOn
- IAttributes::getAttributeAs functions now can have a customizable default-parameter to return when attributeName is not found
- Added ECFN_DISABLED value (it works like ECFN_NEVER worked before) and changed ECFN_NEVER behaviour
(it works like its equivalent value in OpenGL/Direct3D).
- Removed boolean interface from IShaderConstantSetCallBack, please use integer interface instead of them.
- Add a LeakHunter class which can be enabled with compile-flag _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_LEAK_HUNTER_ to find leaking IReferenceCounted objects.
- Add _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_XML_ define to allow compiling Irrlicht without xml (patch written by curaga)
- Add functions to set/get cursor character and blinktime to IGUIEditBox

- Collada exporter now exports the camera up-vector correctly.
- Add IColladaMeshWriter::findGeometryNameForNode
- Add getters IGUIButton::isDrawBorderEnabled and IGUIButton::isDrawBackgroundEnabled
- changed CSkyBoxSceneNode to drawIndexedTriangleList instead of drawIndexedTriangleFan (because software renderers don't have fans.. and i needed the demo functionable)
- burningvideo: getMaxTextureSize adjusted [ changed meaning of SOFTWARE_DRIVER_2_TEXTURE_MAXSIZE
- burningvideo: mipmaplevel adjusted ( not that bad bokeh...(sometimes) )
--------------------------
Changes in 1.8.5
- Fix CIrrDeviceSDL::getVideoModeList which didn't return video modes before. Thx @kas1e for report and patch.
- CIrrDeviceMacOSX now sets the SEvent.MouseInput Shift and Control values on mouse events like the other devices. Thanks @ Zero King for patch (#321)
- isWindowFocused in IrrDeviceSDL device now returns the input focus like the other devices. Before it was returning a mouse-over-window state.
- Prevent SDL device from dropping OpenGL resources on Win32 when setResizable was called with OpenGL driver. Thanks @ kas1e for reporting (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52083&start=0)
And thanks to http://www.bytehazard.com/articles/sdlres.html for the workaround.
- Fix isWindowActive when using SDL device. Before it was only active when the mouse was over the window. Thanks @ kas1e for reporting (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52083&start=0)
- Fix SViewFrustum::clipLine. Was before clipping at wrong points (inverse places along lines).
- Fix compilation on OSX and prevent capturing mouse cursor when Window is not on top (Patch #319)
Thanks at Artem Shoobovych for bugreport and patch (https://sourceforge.net/p/irrlicht/patches/319/)
- Fix serialization of OverrideTextColorEnabled flag in CGUITab. Thanks @ chronologicaldot for reporting (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52344&p=303891#p303891)
- CFileSystem::getAbsolutePath no longer wrongly converts an empty filename to "/" on unix platforms.
This fixes the bug that CFileSystem::createAndOpenFile("") returned a (strange behaving) non-null file pointer.
Additional check also added in createAndOpenFile to early out on empty names.
- Fix bug in cursor positions when compiled with newer Windows SDK's (v110 in VS2012) and running on Systems >= Windows Vista in windowed mode.
Thanks @Mustapha Tachouct for the bugreport and patch proposal. Also thanks @BakeMyCake for an earlier report.
- IOSOperator::getSysteMemory() no longer returns incorrect values with >2GB. Thanks @Eduline - human development for report and patch.
- Increase KEY_KEY_CODES_COUNT to fix problem with laptop keyboards which return the keycode 0xff for the function key. Thx @Klokancz for bugreport and patch.
- Fix bug when calling activateJoysticks on windows several times. It had appened joystick information instead of replacing it, thereby increasing joystick number on each call.
Only happened compiling with _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTINPUT_JOYSTICK_ (which is the default). Linux and SDL implementation not affected.
Thx @Andrea Demetrio for the bugreport.
- Fix bug in fast_atof when reading floating point numbers with more than 16 digits past the dot. Those produced completely wrong results (sometimes even causing INF numbers).
This bug also did cause many meshloaders to have problems with certain meshes (basically all text-based formats are affected).
- Accuracy of fast_atof is back to older Irrlicht versions (fixes test warnings, usually not a noticable problem).
- Fix crash in eventhandling when calling remove() on a contextmenu while it has focus.
- CImageLoaderJPG::isALoadableFileFormat uses a test which allows to load more jpg formats (for example uncompressed jpg's). Thx @Yaron Cohen-Tal for report, test-image and his help with the patch.
--------------------------
Changes in 1.8.4 (9th July 2016, svn r5321)

- Improved OpenGL performance under OSX (Thanks devonsoft for reporting).
- Fixed OSX compilation issues.
- [KNOWN BUG] Software driver doesn't work properly under OSX 10.9.
- For speed improvement the following attributes accessible by ISceneManager::getParameters() are no longer updated in release:
They can be enabled by compiling Irrlicht with the define _IRR_SCENEMANAGER_DEBUG.
Thanks @hendu for reporting, see http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48211 for the discussion.

--------------------------
Changes in 1.8 (7.11.2012)
- Let sphere mesh use full opaque color, just as all the other ones do
- Gcc on Win32 (MinGW) now also works with the _w file access functions when compiled with _IRR_WCHAR_FILESYSTEM. (thx @ alexzk for reporting compile troubles)
- Fix a bunch of off-by one errors in irr::core::string in functions equals_substring_ignore_case, findFirst, findFirstChar, findNext, findLast, findLastChar, replace, remove and removeChars.
This prevents some potential memory access errors, find functions no longer try to find the \0, replace no longer replaces the \0 and remove no longer tries to remove it (which did remove the last character instead).
- matrix4::setRotationAxisRadians added
- user clipplanes fixed
- Skip rendering of lines, points, and polygons, as these lead to crahses due to wrong access to the vertex lists. A fix would need major rewrite of the vertex cache, or at least some other render methods.
- Add mipmap generation for makeColorKeyTexture
- Add another saveScene overload which allows to pass in a user-created XMLWriter. Patch suggested by eversilver.
- quaternion conversions to and from matrix4 no longer invert rotations.
To test if your code was affected by this you can set IRR_TEST_BROKEN_QUATERNION_USE in quaternion.h and try to compile your application.
Then on all compile-errors when you pass the matrix to the quaternion you can replace the matrix with the transposed matrix.
For all errors you get on getMatrix() you can use quaternion::getMatrix_transposed instead.
- CGUIEnvironment::loadGui - loading a gui into a target-element no longer messes up when the gui-file contained guienvironment serialization.
- Colladawriter now exports materials per node when those are used in Irrlicht
- Colladawriter now writing matrices for node transformations as old solution did not work with CDummyTransformationSceneNode's.
- Colladawriter no longer create an extra node for the scenemanger as <visual_scene> has that job in Collada.
- Colladwriter no longer makes all Scenenodes children of ambient-light as that can be parallel on the same layer instead.
- Colladareader now creates the ambient-light correct instead of creating a point-light for it.
- Add new parameter to array reallocate function. This prevents a reallocation in case the array would become smaller. As the reallocation operation is quite time consuming, this can be avoided on request now, on the expense of more memory consumption.
- Add IAnimatedMeshSceneNode::getLoopMode (asked for by JLouisB)
- CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS now resets the key-input when it was disabled (thx @ gerdb for reporting and patch-proposal)
- Properly destroy OpenGL resources on linux (thx @curaga for the patch)

- Allow caching cursor position on X11 to work around slow XQueryPointer calls (thx @Hendu for reporting+patch proposal)
- Make sure after EGET_EDITBOX_ENTER and EGET_COMBO_BOX_CHANGED event processing no more code is executed for the corresponding editbox or combobox objects to allow clearing the environment on those actions (see comments on bug-id 2995838).
- Fix string::replace which failed replacing substrings at the end when the replacement was longer
- Struct packing works now with gcc 4.7 changes on MinGW (thx @Sudi for reporting).
- Struct packing uses now same solution throughout (by including headers in corresponding places)
- User can now set characters used for decimal point in fast_atof for localisation.
- Add parameter useAlphaChannel to second IGUIEnvironment::addImage function.
- Get rid of unnecessary warning "Could not load sprite bank because the file does not exist" for "#defaultfont".
- Fix MRT disabling. Bug found and fixed by hendu.
- core:::array::reallocate returning now immediately when it has nothing to do. Should reduce a lot of memory thrashing on irrArrays.
- Start mesh animations at first OnAnimate , before start-frame was rather random. Thx @Auria for reporting and patch proposal.
- renderTargetTexture now working with ECF_R5G6B5
- add -fPic in c::b linux fast math shared build.
- Fix by Auria for starting the animated meshes only at first OnAnimate instead of at random times and animation frames.
- Add support for MAX_COMBINED_TEXTURES, which allows more texture support than with the original fixed pipeline texture check under OpenGL. Now, more than 4 textures should also work with newer gfx cards and drivers, which often only support 4 fixed pipeline textures.
- triangle3d::isPointInsideFast now using some epsilon to catch all points on the borders.
- triangle3d::getIntersectionOfPlaneWithLine calculates now with higher precision for more exact results.
- triangle3d::isOnSameSide (used by isPointInside) calculates now with higher precision and uses some epsilon to make it work with larger integers and less floating point troubles. Slightly slower now.
- new function equalsByUlp to test for spacing between floating point numbers.
- speedup for collada writing.
- speedup for xml-writing.
- Fix 8bit grey image TGAs, which were not working due to missing palette. Also switched to RGB8 format, as otherwise a loss in precision would occur. Thanks to Klunk for the error report and a test image.
- fixed issues with a D3D driver and Aero effects.
- Fix font-drawing in CGUIButton to use EGDF_BUTTON again (thx @DJLinux for reporting).
- Add texture cache with proper reference handling. This avoids deletion of textures while still being active on the GPU. Test case and fix by m(att)giuca
- CFileSystem::removeFileArchive now checking for normalized path
- Fix zip's with passwords on 64-bit systems (thx @ Dr. Gladman for writing the bugfix)
- replace asserts in tests with macro assert_log to allow running all tests through on problems.
- added IGUIElement::setName and IGUIElement::getName (similar to ISceneNode)
- irr::s64 support
- line2d::getClosestPoint can now also get the closest point on the line additional to only checking for closest point on the line-segment.
- avoid division by zero in line2d::getClosestPoint when start- and endpoint are identical
- Support for sw drivers under OSX
- Fix font-loading which got broken by fixed xml-loading. Thanks @ pc0de for finding and providing a test and patch.
- Don't crash draw2DSpriteBatch when it get's no textures.
- Add support for int passing in setShaderConstant
- Support for better collada texture wrapping support on loading.
- Fix for render context change where only the window id is given. We now try to change only the window ID, keeping context and display unchanged. Suggestion by vovo4ka from the forum.
- XML-reader now ignores all whitespace-only EXN_TEXT elements as old way didn't work in cross-platform way (and arguably also not well on Windows).
- CXMLReader initializes IsEmptyElement now.
- line2d::intersectWith and and line2d::getClosestPoint work now also with integers.
- line2d::intersectWith and and line2d::getClosestPoint work now also with integers.
- line2d::getMiddle and line3d::getMiddle work now also with integers. But can be slower for compilers which are not optimizing division by 2 to multiplication by 0.5 for floats.
- Add Nadro's initial Cg support. Example 10 is enhanced to allow also Cg shaders.
- Add mipmap support from FBO extension, patch by Nadro.
- Add vertex optimization algorithm submitted by curaga

- Reduction of multiple skinning the same mesh and frame in one render cycle
- Added ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS::getKeyMap and a new ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS::setKeyMap.
- CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS uses now SKeyMap instead of SCamKeyMap (structs were identical which was confusing and there wasn't any explanation in comments, so I decided to simplify it).
- Add some workaround to MeshViewer to show how we can currently fix the FPS-cam when users to alt-tab while moving. We can improve that some day when we have focus-events, but this works for now.

- CDummyTransformationSceneNode::clone() added.
- IParticleSystemSceneNode::doParticleSystem now public to allow rendering outside scenegraph.
- getRelativeFilenames updates and fixes
- Renamed IOSOperator::getOperationSystemVersion to getOperatingSystemVersion. Changed return type from wchar_t to core::stringc, as that's the internal representation the name is built on.

- Added suppport for right-to-left (RTL) text, supplied by Auria from STK
- Added ISceneManager::createSceneNodeAnimator to create animators by name
- The Makefile now creates a symlink from the soname to the binary name during install. Binary compatibility is only confirmed between same minor releases.
- Added SMF mesh loader, loads meshes from 3D World Studio. Originally written by Joseph Ellis
- The loader selection process now consistently checks loader lists in reverse order, so new loaders added to Irrlicht override the internal ones. This applies when adding external mesh, image, scene and archive loaders, image writers, plus node, animator and GUI element factories.
- Added getters to retrieve mesh, scene and archive loaders.
- Added ISceneLoader interface and .irr loader. Users can now add their own scene loaders to the scene manager and use them by calling loadScene.
- Renamed IGUIElement::bringToBack to sendToBack, like in Windows
- Send EGET_ELEMENT_CLOSED event when context menus should be closed (thx @ Mloren for reporting).
- Added treeview to GUI editor, provided by Armen

- Fixed panel scrollbars in GUI editor, reported by Armen
- Fix b3d loading of files with mixed mesh/bone sections.
- Fix particle emitters which used integer random numbers so far. The distributions of the particles should be much better (and the code also somewhat faster) now.
- Add new random method frand: Returns a random number in the interval [0..1] and gives better distributions than using fmodf on the integer number.
- Add node parameter to saveScene and loadScene. saveScene saves the given node and all descendants to the file (if 0, the full scene is saved as before). loadScene loads all elements of the scene as childs of the given node. As before, 0 would load the file on the top level (scenemanager).
- Add method to make a filename relative to a given directory.
- Fix setMesh to correctly update the joints cache.
- Fix setting transition time of skinned meshes back to 0.
- Add some getters to IGUIImage: getImage, getColor
- Fix OpenGL FBODepthTexture to create less overhead
- Fix MRT disabling under OpenGL
- API change: Added write only lock mode for textures. The lock method has changed the signature and uses an enum parameter now instead of a bool. The default is still to lock for read/write (previously 'false'). The old 'true' value should be replaced by ETLM_READ_ONLY.
- Speedup deleting of particles
- Add function IParticleSystemSceneNode::clearParticles
- Fix RTT render states under OpenGL
- Fix AntiAliasing setup under Windows/OpenGL in case no AA is available
- Fix transformation matrices when RTT used
- API change: getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition has a new parameter, which needs to be set to true to get the original behavior. Now, the method returns coordinates which would fit as render coordinates of a currently enabled viewport. With the parameter set to true the result would fit only after the viewport is reset to full window rendering.
- More checks for Stencilbuffer
- Improve render state resets
- Fix MRT handling
- Fix file search
- Add flag and method to disable clipping of the text to the gui element rectangle in GUI static text.
- addShadowVolumeSceneNode now replaces an existing shadow. One should avoid to call this method multiple times without changing any parameter, as it is quite time consuming and cannot recognize the duplicate calls.
- Add function IGUIEnvironment::removeFont (TODO: Does not remove the texture from cache so far)
- Fixed mem leak in mountfilesystem
- Update to libjpeg 8b, zlib 1.2.5, bzip2 1.0.6, libpng 1.4.4 and lzma from 9.20 SDK
- Functions in IMeshCache expecting IAnimatedMesh* parameters removed as similar functions with IMesh* can be used since a while. Fixes also problems when IAnimatedMesh* got upcasted to IMesh*. (thx @ Greenya for reporting)
- Fix blend states for MRTs
- 64bit targets for MSVC added
- The following functions will now use a "ISceneNode *" instead of a "const ISceneNode *":
ITriangleSelector::getSceneNodeForTriangle, ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse::getCollisionNode, ISceneCollisionManager::getCollisionPoint and ISceneCollisionManager::getCollisionResultPosition.
As collision functions often are followed by changing node positions users where so far forced to using const_casts (found by Greenya).
- Add vector3d::getAs3Values (patch provided by slavik262)
- Add function to SViewFrustum to get corners of the near plane (patch provided by Matt Kline, aka slavik262)
- ParticleFadeOutAffector::setFadeOutTime can no longer be set to invalid values

- Disabled state is now extended to sub-elements
- Make disabled state for several elements more visible

- Add xml example written by Yoran Bosman.
- Fix cursor cleanup under Linux when using multiple devices
- Fix collada parser
- Fix MRT reset under D3D
- Add a generic attribute interface for querying video driver attributes which are not necessarily of type bool. This interface allows to check certain supported features, such as the number of user clip planes, supported lights and textures, MRTs, and other things. The interface might change in the future, but it's fully functional already. The supported attributes are listed in the API docs of the function:
The following names can be queried for the given types:
* MaxTextures (int) The maximum number of simultaneous textures supported by the driver. This can be less than the supported number of textures of the driver. Use _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ to adapt the number.
* MaxSupportedTextures (int) The maximum number of simultaneous textures supported by the fixed function pipeline of the (hw) driver. The actual supported number of textures supported by the engine can be lower.
* MaxLights (int) Number of hardware lights supported in the fixed function pipeline of the driver, typically 6-8. Use light manager or deferred shading for more.
* MaxAnisotropy (int) Number of anisotropy levels supported for filtering. At least 1, max is typically at 16 or 32.
* MaxUserClipPlanes (int) Number of additional clip planes, which can be set by the user via dedicated driver methods.
* MaxAuxBuffers (int) Special render buffers, which are currently not really usable inside Irrlicht. Only supported by OpenGL
* MaxMultipleRenderTargets (int) Number of render targets which can be bound simultaneously. Rendering to MRTs is done via shaders.
* MaxIndices (int) Number of indices which can be used in one render call (i.e. one mesh buffer).
* MaxTextureSize (int) Dimension that a texture may have, both in width and height.
* MaxGeometryVerticesOut (int) Number of vertices the geometry shader can output in one pass. Only OpenGL so far.
* MaxTextureLODBias (float) Maximum value for LOD bias. Is usually at around 16, but can be lower on some systems.
* Version (int) Version of the driver. Should be Major*100+Minor
* ShaderLanguageVersion (int) Version of the high level shader language. Should be Major*100+Minor.

- Fix bug with IGUIEditBox where the cursor position is reset on text change.
- Make sure the window top-left corner on Windows is not negative on start so that Windows sytem-menu is always visible.
- Fix problem that the window did sometimes not get the keyboard focus in X11 in fullscreen. Add more debug output in case focus grabbing goes wrong.
- Fix screensize in videodriver when we didn't get the requested window size. This also prevents that gui-clicks are no longer synchronized with gui-drawing and elements can't be hit anymore.
- Bugfix: Prevent a crash when getTypeName was called for the guienvironment. EGUIET_ELEMENT got changed for this.
- Bugfix: Horizontal centered font with linebreaks draw now all lines. For example multiline TextSceneNodes work again.

---------------------------
Changes in 1.6 (23.09.2009)

- Add support for scaling button images.
- Irrlicht can now come with multiple device types compiled in, the device to use is selected by SIrrlichtCreationParameters.DeviceType. This defaults to EIDT_BEST which automatically select the best device available starting with native, then X11, SDL and finally the console.
- Added support for EXP2 fog distribution. This required a change in the setFog parameters where now an enum value instead of the bool linear is given.
- IFileSystem changes:
- Renamed the following functions-
IFileArchive::getArchiveType to getType
IFileSystem::registerFileArchive to addFileArchive
IFileSystem::unregisterFileArchive to removeFileArchive
IFileArchive::openFile to createAndOpenFile
- New enum, E_FILE_ARCHIVE_TYPE. getType on IArchiveLoader and IFileArchive now both return this.
- IFileSystem::addFileArchive takes a parameter to specify the archive type rather always using the file extension. IFileSystem::addZipFileArchive, addFolderFileArchive and addPakFileArchive now use this but these functions are now marked as deprecated. Users should now use addFileArchive instead.
- Added TAR archive loader.
- The ZIP archive loader can now load gzip files, combined with the TAR loader this means Irrlicht now has native support for .tar.gz
Currently this must be done in two calls, for example:
- Fix highlighting in IGUIEditBox where kerning pairs are used in the font. For example in future italic, OS or other custom fonts.
- IOSOperator::getTextFromClipboard returns now const c8* instead of c8*
- Support for copy&paste on linux (X11) added (fixing bug 2804014 found by Pan)
- bugfix for 2795321 found by egrath: Don't rely anymore on broken XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat.
- bugfix: CMountPointReader::openFile no longer returns true for empty files. Corresponding test added.

or windowing system is available. To enable it uncomment #define _IRR_USE_CONSOLE_DEVICE_ in IrrCompileConfig.h
- The console device can now present images from the software drivers and display them as ASCII art in the console
- By default it replaces the default font in the skin, to prevent fonts from being huge.
- Fixed problems with changing cursor visibility while mouse is pressed on windows
- Allow control of background drawing in listbox
- Allow control of drawing background and titlebar in windows

- let spinbox react on each textchange without waiting for enter to prevent getting value changes without corresponding EGET_SPINBOX_CHANGED events.
- new test for zipreader
- prevent dropping objects accidentally in many set functions
- Reversed change in vector3d::normalize.
Works now again as documented and a corresponding test has been added.
Does fix bug 2770709 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2770709&group_id=74339&atid=540676)
- Animations can now be paused by setting the fps to 0.
- Avoid fp-precision problem in getPickedNodeBB (see also http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=33838&highlight=).
This change might also fix the problem with picking nodes found by aanderse (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=32890&highlight=)
- implemented isALoadableFileFormat ( File *file ) for the Archive Loader
- PixelBlend16 and PixelBlend16_simd are working for the new rules.
Burning checks this flag and when set, it bypasses the power2 size check,
which is necessary on 3D but can be avoided on 2D.
used on fonts automatically.
- added Support for Destination Alpha
- Direct3D8
- added 32 Bit Index Buffer
- compile for XBOX
- Direct3D9
- fixed crash on RTT Textures DepthBuffer freed twice.
added deleteAllTextures to destructor
- NullDriver
- removeallTextures. added setMaterial ( SMaterial() ) to clean pointers for freed textures
- ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay() allows selection by BB and triangle on a heirarchy of scene nodes.
- Triangle selectors created from animated mesh scene nodes will update themselves as required to stay in sync with the node.
- IVideoDriver has methods to enumerate the available image loaders and writers.
- Octtree scene nodes are now IMeshSceneNodes rather than ISceneNodes, and so you can call getMesh() on them.
- New scene parameter B3D_LOADER_IGNORE_MIPMAP_FLAG to ignore the often missing mipmap flag in b3d files. If this parameter is true, the old pre Irrlicht-1.5 behavior is restored.
- Added Mipmap LOD Bias attribute to MaterialLayer.
- Added ColorMask support to selectively disable color planes on rendering.
- Added support for all available depth test functions.
- Add an outNode to getCollisionPoint() that returns the scene node that was hit, as well as the triangle.
- Initial support for Alpha To Coverage, needs some more fixing until it works on all supported platforms.
- Added support for Anti-Aliasing modes per material
- Added an ICollisionCallback to ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse, to inform the application that a collision has occurred. Thanks to garrittg for this.
- Added an startPosition parameter to createFlyCircleAnimator() to allow starting the animator at any position on the circle.
- Many uses of dimension2d<s32> changed to dimension2d<u32>, including IImage, ITexture and screen dimensions. You will have to change (at least) createDevice() calls to use dimension2d<u32>
- Added Doublebuffer flag to SIrrCreationParameters, for better finetuning
- Added Stereo-Framebuffer support for professional OpenGL cards
- Added IFileSystem::createMemoryWriteFile() to allow creation of an IWriteFile interface that uses an application supplied memory buffer.
- Added an IVideoDriver::writeImageToFile() overload that can take an IWriteFile interface.
- (Internal) Replaced CMemoryReadFile with CMemoryFile, that also implements an IWriteFile interface.
- Added an optional light manager to the scene manager to allow the user application to turn lights on and off during scene rendering. This can be used to produce "zoned" lighting. See example 20.ManagedLights.
- Added a method to flip the Y movement of the FPS camera.
- The Anisotropy filter can now be set to the AF value per texture layer. So no forced MAX_ANISOTROPY anymore. .irr files will probably fail, though.
- AntiAlias parameter in SIrrCreationParameters is now an u8 value specifying the multisampling level (0 for disabled, 4,6,8, and others for anti-aliasing)
- D3D devices use DISCARD for windowed renderbuffers now, can be faster.
- Changed behavior of PixelBlend16() / PixelBlend16_simd() so that they treat the 1 bit alpha of the source pixel as boolean, i.e. they draw either the source pixel, or the destination pixel, rather than "blending". (Issue revealed by the fix to IVideoDriver::makeColorKeyTexture()).
- IVideoDriver::makeColorKeyTexture() bug fixed so that only alphas, not whole texel colors, are zeroed. An optional parameter allows using the old (buggy) behavior for backwards compatibility.
- position2d is now a synonym for vector2d. position2d is therefore marked as deprecated, although it's unlikely to be removed.
- ISceneNodeAnimator now has a hasFinished() method.
- ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse exposes the target node. Setting the node again resets the last position, allowing the node to be teleported.
- Add a hitPosition out parameter to ISceneCollisionManager::getCollisionResultPosition() - this is a (small) API breaking change.

- device reset for d3d fixed when using VBOs.
- Fix dimension2d +=
- MD2 mesh loader: Now uses much less memory, reduced number of allocations when loading meshes.
- OpenGL render state (texture wrongly cached) fixed.
- Fixed animator removal.
- Checnged collision checks for children of invisible elements to also be ignored (as they're actually invisible due to inheritance).
- Fix terrain to use 32bit only when necessary, make terrain use hw buffers. Heightmap loading and height calculation fixed. Visibility and LOD calculations updated.
- Some mem leaks fixed
- FPS camera resets the cursor better
-----------------------------------
Changes in version 1.5 (15.12.2008)
- Construction calls for FPS camera changed to take speed in units/milliseconds, just as the setSpeed method does.
- Code::Blocks workspaces added. C::B projects (using gcc) now output to /lib/gcc and /bin/gcc, when built on either Windows or Linux.
- Added a test suite in the /tests directory. This can be used to perform regression tests, and should be updated with new tests to verify fixes or validate new features.
- Changed the preferred way of altering light node's radius: Use the new member methods of ILightSceneNode instead of directly modifying the SLight structure.
- Changed the initial attenuation back to (0,1/radius,0). To override this value simply change the attenuation in the SLight (lightnode->getLightData().Attenuation.set(x,y,z))
- Dirty fix for OSX device setResizable and a bug fix to do with resizing the device.
- Terrain heightmap and texture were flipped in order to draw them as expected (looking onto the terrain from high above will just look like the actual texture/heightmap).
- Significant internal change to the way that FPS camera jump speed and collision response animator gravity interact. The behavior is now much more realistic, but it will require you to adjust your jump speed and gravity.
- Skybox won't be culled anymore by nearplane or farplane.
- BBoxes of animated meshes (skinned meshes) are updated again.
- Lost devices (as found with D3D) are properly handled now. So the screen can be resized or minimized without crashing the app.
- Renamed IGUIElement::setRelativePosition(const core::rect<f32>& r) to IGUIElement::setRelativePositionProportional(), as it has radically different functionality from setRelativePosition(const core::rect<s32>& r)
- Added IGUIElement::setRelativePosition(const core::position2di & position) to set a new position while retaining the existing height and width.
- Many Collada fixes. z_up coords are supported now, texture coords are properly loaded. Transparency is supported.
- Camera scene node rotation and target can now be bound together so that changing one automatically changes the other (as the FPS camera has always done). See ICameraSceneNode::bindTargetAndRotation()
- Removed the extra libpng files for OSX. OSX now also uses the default libpng.
- Enhanced PCX support with some more color formats and write support.
- Fixed LMTS problems with extra data in files.
- Removed VS6 .dsw / .dsp project files - VS6 is no longer supported.
- Particles can be scaled during animations. Particle scaling needs to happen in the emitter now, instead of in the Particle system scene node. Deprecation methods will guide the user.
- ISceneNode::setParent and addChild now updates node SceneManager pointers if the node was from another SceneManager.
- Basic support for joystick input events on Windows, Linux, SDL and OSX. Tested with wired Logitech and Thrustmaster wired controllers and XBox 360 wireless controller ( http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver )
- Fixed scaled octree nodes being incorrectly frustum culled.
- FSAA under OpenGL and Win32 added. Now all hw drivers and platforms should support it.
- Unlimited RTT fix for D3D systems. Depth buffers are now shared if possible, otherwise a new depth buffer is generated. In order to save VidMem one should create RTTs starting with the largest one.
- Avoid RTTs with nonFBO-support under OpenGL which are larger than the screen. Since we rely on rendering into textures in this case we need to clamp the size by the screensize.
- Fixes for getAbsoluteFilename under Linux in order to return a filename instead of en empty string in case the file doesn't exist.
- Use absolute path names when creating / finding textures.
- Font tool implementation for Linux with xft, by Neil Burlock.
- Support for normals and UV coords from DeclData in .x files.
- Modified line2d<T>::intersectWith() to cover more cases.
- Added IVideoDriver::drawPixel().
- Moved the window pointer from endScene to beginScene, as this is required for OpenGL support of external window pointers.
- Fix for terrain culling.
- Added minimize button to win32 window (if resizable)
- Major API change: RTTs are now created via addRenderTargetTexture instead of createRenderTargetTexture, which allows to retrieve them from the texture cache, but also changes the way of removing the RTTs, and especially one must not drop the pointer anymore.
- WindowsCE-Bugfix
- disableFeature can be used to override feature support of the video driver.
- draw2DImage can now also handle RTTs under OpenGL (which were flipped before).
- Ogre mesh format fixes for proper texture support.
- Added .obj mesh writer.
- Some core::string constructors made explicit to avoid unintended conversions. Just add core::stringc() or core::stringw() around the old code to avoid warnings.
- IdentityMatrix is now a properly defined global, with external visibility on all platforms.
- Bugfix for context releases with glx 1.3 on error.
- Removed constraints for sizes of the terrain scene node.
- Support for 32bit indices in a special MeshBuffer class.
- isBetweenPoints return true now even for the begin and end points, i.e. line segments are now including their start and end.
- Fix XML reader creation for non-existing files and invalid callbacks.
- Changed interpretation of MaterialTypeParam==0 in transparent materials. Now it's consistent with all other values, but one has to set the value to 0.5 to get the old behavior (slightly faster rendering, but no smooth borders)
- Replaced transformBox by transformBoxEx in some internal methods to avoid major malfunction of the transformations.
- Fix use of zip file inside zip files.
- Avoid loading textures which are not used by the mesh in b3d loader.
- Added scaleTCoords methods to MeshManipulator
- Enable use of other meshes for shadow mesh generation, can be used to speed up shadow generation and rendering for complex meshes. Patch based on a version by tonic.
- Fixed usage of SIrrCreationParameters struct, which dind't have copy constructor and assignment operator anymore, since the Irrlicht version string was made const.
- New glext.h (version 41) and glxext.h (version 20) supporting OpenGL 3.0
- Added support for read-only locking of textures. Can speed up those calls.
- Added support for locking RTTs under OpenGL.
- Implementation of UserData events from system events.
- ICameraSceneNode::setIsOrthogonal replaced by a parameter to setProjectionMatrix.
- All meshbuffers are now dynamically allocated to avoid problems with grabbed buffers, which may be deleted before the last drop happens (due to static memory allocation).
- Enhanced scene graph traversal with example from rogerborg.
- FPS camera disabling of event receiver works better now.
- scene deserialization allows for a user defined callback after a new scene node is created.
- Fixed tangent mesh loading from .irrmesh files.
- OpenGL clamp modes are now properly set.
- IMeshManipulator::transformMesh renamed to transform, also supports meshbuffers now.
scaleMesh renamed to scale, supports meshbuffers as well.
- vector3d::rotationToDirection added.
- New mesh generators for cone and cylinder.
- Hardware accelerated Vertex and Index Buffer support finally integrated into Irrlicht. Thanks to a resource handling idea by Klasker and the almost immediate implementation by Luke, Irrlicht now supports VBOs under OpenGL and D3D.
Hardware buffers make rendering the same vertices much faster. To use this feature with a mesh, simply set a usage type via MeshBuffer->setHardwareMappingHint(scene::EHM_STATIC). The driver will upload the vertices and indices on the next draw and reuse this information without the need to upload it each frame.
Vertex and Index buffers can also be updated separately, which is e.g. useful for the terrain node's LOD.
- Changed FBO creation according to Nadro's patch. Seems to have zbuffer problems currently.
- Update to libpng 1.2.29
- Compiler flag for PerfHUD support added.
- recalculateNormals and tangent space creation enhancements by ryanclark.
- Added getColorFormat methods for device and driver, returning the color format of the device's window and the driver's framebuffer.
- Added isFullscreen method.
- Added isWindowFocused and isWindowMinimized methods.
- Screenshots are now always made from the frontbuffer, so always the last completely rendered image is captured. However, overlapping windows may corrupt those parts of the screenshot (as was previously happening with d3d already).
- New device creation parameter to disable Irrlicht's system event handling.
- New device creation parameter to specify depth bits.
- New device creation parameter to request alpha channel in framebuffer.
- Draw2DImage methods under OpenGL now also handle RTTs correctly.
- Fixed RTT bug which lead to strangely clamped textures.
- Speed improvement for screenshots on some Intel cards under OpenGL.
- My3D file loader fixed.
- Terrain mesh performance increased.
- Fixed mem leak in cube node.
- Compiler errors in shaders won't corrupt the material renderer list anymore.
- Quake3 shader files now have properly working texture matrices again.
- FPS and Maya style cameras are now standard cameras with a special animator.
- ISceneNodeAnimator now inherits IEventReceiver
- New method ISceneNodeAnimator::isEventReceiverEnabled, returns false by default
- CCameraSceneNode::OnEvent passes events to animators with enabled event receivers
- ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS and ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraMaya interfaces for changing camera settings at run-time.
- Changed SExposedVideoData to use void* instead of s32. Fixed 64bit portability.
- Added support for front face culling.
- Fix for HLSL shaders in one file.
- Billboard::setColor bug fix by rogerborg.
- Scene node sorting uses squared distances now.
- Enhanced API for hte math functions. Many of them will now return a reference to *this for chained method invocations.
- prevent .x loader to load .xml files.
- AntiAlias support for OSX device.
- Period character handling bug fixed.
- New filesystem methods for filename handling.
- added getVideoModeList and getDesktopResolution support for OSX
- Octree supports tangent meshes now. Some performance improvements for the generation.
- Fix mouse pointer and fullscreen mode problems in OSX.
- Make cube and sphere scene node a mesh scene node (for access to the cube/sphere mesh).
- Support for normal maps in 3ds files. Mem leak fixed. Loading for files with keyframe data fixed.
- BillboardTextSceneNode is now an IBillboardSceneNode and an ITextSceneNode.
- Support for external windows under Linux.
- .X loader bug fixes.
- Better debug visualization for MeshSceneNodes.
- Fixed bug in material serialization when using the NullDriver.
- Fix for Win32 CursorControl::setVisible
- Support for LWO files.
- Support for Collada 1.4 files.
- Better and faster terrain smoothing by Frosty Topaz.
- Fixed a performance bug in ISceneNode constructor reported by izhbq412
- Win32 device now makes the cursor invisible immediately when setVisible(false) is called.
- Command line tool for mesh conversion added.
- Added volume light scene node
- .obj files now won't duplicate vertices unnecessarily. This allows recalculation of smooth normals and other things, and is also faster when rendering. The loading is a little slower now.
They also support normal maps and texture clamping now. Group support added, can be ignored via scene manager attribute scene::OBJ_LOADER_IGNORE_GROUPS.
Normals will be calculated if the file doesn't provide them.
- Better fix for hires timers on dual core machines by RogerBorg
- added Initial Windows Mobile 6 Version.
- Windows Mobile 6 SDK
- Visual Studio 2005
- Added checks to avoid buffer overrun in b3d loader. Enabled normals calculation in all cases, previously it was not done for lightmapped meshes.
Fixed transparency support. Added mipmap creation flag support which might disable mipmap creation too often. Should be checked.
- Burningvideo: MipMap Selection repaired
- renamed private Driver function getTextureSizeFromImageSize to getTextureSizeFromSurfaceSize
- Added collision manager speedup patch by RogerBorg.
- D3D drivers now releases the IImage member from initialization, thus freeing lots of memory. The image is accessible via the driver anyway.
- SDL device character handling enhanced.
- MeshBuffers can now access the elements of the S3DVertex base class in all vertex types directly, instead of using the getVertices() pointer access. This simplifies simple mesh manipulations as it does not require a switch statement over all vertex types.
- More OpenGL renderstate bugs fixed
- GLSL changes for setting arrays. Also allow for only pixel or vertex shader to be set.
- Bugfix for removeChild in AnimatedMeshSceneNode.
- Some bugfixes for Joint handling and skinned meshes. Added getJointCount in IAnimatedMeshSceneNode and isStatic in ISkinnedMesh.
- Added WAL image format support based on the original loader by Murphy McCauley, written for Irrlicht around version 0.7.
- OpenGL RTTs now also support alpha values.
- New method driver->getVendorInfo() to query information about the actual hardware driver.
- Fixed somed CQuake3ShaderSceneNode problems.
- Changed BurningsVideo internal Vertex Format. version changed to 0.39
- SceneManager:
Removed the seperate rendering states for quake3 Shader Scene Nodes.
Nodes are now solid or transparent. ( but still more states are needed )
- GUI:
- Editbox didn't draw children
- Checking IsEnabled is now consistent across all GUI elements
- Move window to front bug fixed.
- Disabling the BMP loader now compiles without the built-in font
- Added setTextAlignment to IGUIComboBox
- Avoid dropping skin pointer which is in use.
- Better warning for fonts without regions (sometimes wrong file is loaded by the user).
- Fixed a bug in CGUISpriteBank which caused a crash when a non-looping animated sprite reached the end of its animation.
- Modal screens no longer flash invisible children when rejecting a focus change.
- Finally added StarSonata patch with table element and TabControl additions. Table is based on MultiColor listbox by Acki, and has loads of changes by CuteAlien.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.4.2 (22.9.2008)
- Unified the handling of zwrite enable with transparent materials on all hw accelerated drivers. This means that all transparent materials will now disable ZWrite, ignoring the material flag.
There is a scene manager attribute, though, which will revert this behavior to the usual SMaterial driven way. Simply call
SceneManager->getParameters()->setAttribute(scene::ALLOW_ZWRITE_ON_TRANSPARENT, true) and set the SMaterial flag as desired.
- Some changes for texture matrices in q3 shaders.
- Added BlindSide's irrAllocator patch for proper TextureMatrix release under Win32 with any CRT library.
- Added VC9 project files.
- Added getEmitter for particle system scene nodes.

- Avoid double rendering of child nodes of joints.
- Support for d3d draw2dimage clipping by CuteAlien.
- Fixed an animation transition bug, pointed out by wuallen.
- Fixed the major problem with OpenGL drivers, that claim to be 2.x compatible, but don't offer NPOT support (well, they do, but only in sw rendering...). Now we check for the extension string only.
- Fixed .obj loader bug which inserted vertices in wrong buffers.
- Fixed minor mem leak in Linux device.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.4.1 (04 Jun 2008)
- MD3 meshes are movable again.
- New JPG image writer version by Vitek.
- Texture matrix fixes, all methods should now work as expected.
- Some container methods now return the this pointer after member functions have been called on them, in order to allow call chains.
- Some new methods for SColorf access, for uniform API of all colors.
- bug fix for SMaterialLayer equality check. Did only check the TextureMatrix pointers, instead of the matrices.
- New getMesh method for the SceneManager, which takes an IReadFile instead of a filename.
- Support for flags _WIN32 and _WIN64 in addition to WIN32 and WIN64 added, this simplifies usage of Irrlicht headers under MSVC.
- Fixed a crash in GUIMeshViewer
- new string method findLastChar by Halifax
- GUIEditBox got the 1 pixel shift after click fixed.
- Some debug visualization has been fixed for skinned meshes
- Undef PI symbol before declaring core::PI to avoid compilation problems
- SAnimatedMesh now properly returns properties of Meshes[0] if those exist, such that it should be usable in place of an SMesh again.
- Fixed 2d initialisation in opengl and d3d9 driver. This should fix problems with render states mixing up and distrubing, e.g. skin effects.
- Avoid a crash when passing setSkin the current skin
- Fixed current frame calculation for non-looped animations. Bug reported by greenya.
- Fixed bug in CBillboardSceneNode::setColor, reported by rogerborg
- Fixed clipping of menu, toolbar and combo box GUI elements, reported by greenya
- setNotClipped now applies all the way up to the root of the GUI environment, rather than just to the next parent
- Made new scene managers use the original manager's GUIEnvironment, reported by MasterGod
- Fixed IGUICheckBox::setEnabled, reported by Dorth
- Fixed the FollowSpline animator to avoid crashes when only one waypoint is given.
- OpenGL VolumeShadow now uses glPolygonOffset to avoid zbuffer artifacts.
- Fixed meshbuffer corruption in append methods.
- Fixed mem leaks in irrArray.
- Fixed minor bugs in ISceneNode and ISceneManager.
- Fixed the MeshCache handling of GeometryCreator meshes.
- Terrain LOD bugfix.
- Some Collada 1.3 loader enhancements and bug fixes.
- Fixed a bug in CGUISpriteBank which caused a crash when a non-looping animated sprite reached the end of its animation.
- Enhanced the .obj loader with the patch from ryanclark. This allows for recalculation of smoothed normals of the mesh, also should decrease the tri count on some meshes.
- Avoid the global Logger to be destroyed too early.
- Function setbit was renamed to setbit_cond to avoid name clashes.
- Fixed .x animations with multiple references to the same joint from different meshes. Fixed texture path problems.
- Support for Milkshape 1.8 files, also with multiple weights per joint.
- The config file now also supports _IRR_OSX_PLATFORM_ and _IRR_USE_OSX_DEVICE_. This allows to use the Linux device (X11 support) on OSX.
- Avoid terrain scene node crash when heightmap cannot be loaded.
- Speed improvements for WaterSceneNode.
- FlyCircle animator now also works for upvectors (Direction parameter) which are not (0,1,0). Is also faster now, since most calculations are done on init. Thanks to Dorth for working on this.
- The 3ds loader correctly creates a texture matrix when texture tiling properties are found in the file.
- Fix for S3DVertex comparison operators. Used some wrong logic.
- Bugfix getCurrentRenderTargetSize in D3D drivers. Due to signature differences a wrong virtual method was chosen. Thanks to Jiang for finding it.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.4 (30 Nov 2007)
- Major API change: All material properties which are available per texture layer (curently texture, texture matrix, texture filters, and texture wrap mode) are separated into a new struct SMaterialLayer. You can access them via the array TextureLayer[] in SMaterial. The texture matrix methods in SMaterial are still alive, and also textures can be accessed via methods in SMaterial now. But still, many places in user code need some update (usually changing material.Textures[i] to material.TextureLayer[i].Texture etc.)
- Major API rewriting for proper const usage. Now, most getter methods are const and so are the larger parameters and return values. Moreover, many methods taking only unsigned numbers now use u32 instead of s32 in order to recognize this limitation from the method's signature.
- the base class for nearly all Irrlicht classes has been renamed from IUnknown to IReferenceCounted
- Fixed Skybox texture orientations. They are now displayed non-flipped. Existing skyboxes have to be changed, though: Exchange left and right texture. Textures from Terragen and other tools can be used directly, now. Quake maps will also need the right/left exchange.
- Added ITexture::isRenderTarget()
- Added STL mesh file format reader and writer.
- Added IMeshManipulator::createMeshWelded which creates a copy of the mesh with similar vertices welded together.
- Irrlicht now has its own file format for static meshes. It is based on xml and has the
extension .irrmesh. Irrlicht is able to write every IMesh to this file format, and of course to
read it back again.
- Irrlicht is now able to write Meshes out into files. Use ISceneManager::createMeshWriter()
to obtain an interface with which you can write out meshes. Currently, an own .irrmesh
file format is supported as well as the COLLADA file format.
- fixed the keyboard autorepeat difference between Linux and Windows. Thanks to denton we now have only KeyPressed events on both systems in case of autorepeat.
- Added several new particle emitters and affectors from IrrSpintz. Also some new getter and setter methods were added.
- D3D transparent materials do not disable zbuffer writing automatically anymore. This has to be done by the user to keep those settings configurable.
- OpenGL texture now also require a regenerateMipmapLevels() after unlocking. This is the same as for d3d devices now.
- Point sprite support in the driver. Point sprites use just one 3d vertex and a size to create a textured billboard on the GPU. This can provide fast particle systems, especially in combination with shaders. The proper particle extension will follow later on as it needs some more refactoring.
- OpenGL 2D drawing accuracy fix by tuXXX
- Added OnResize and getCurrentRenderTargetSize to the software video drivers.
- Added Spot light type for dynamic lights. Note that both position and direction for all dynamic lights are now determined by the LightSceneNode, the SLight attributes are only used for internal purposes.
API change! One can easily work around this change by setting the LightSceneNode's Position and Rotation instead of the SLight's. This change won't provoke a compile error, though, and can hence go unrecognized besides the visual problems.
The lights use a default direction (0,0,-1) which is rotated by the usual scene node transformations and can hence be modified by scene node animators.
A change in the Radius usage can lead to strange artifacts. Just increase the Radius in this case. further handling of Radius is to be discussed.
- Added per pixel fog support for OpenGL.
- Added driver support for user defined clip planes, based on mandrav's patch.
The OpenGL version is more picky about ModelView matrices, so it's best to set the projection plane at the time it is used.
- .obj files now load relative indices correctly. Collada files load textures.
- A new MeshBuffer implementation is publicly available. It supports a shared vertex list for all MeshBuffers, used for MS3D meshes.
- MeshBuffers can recalculate their BoundingBoxes on their own now, no need for MeshManipulators. New append methods help to merge MeshBuffers. take care that the types match!
- The new texture generation mode is working. With ETCF_NO_ALPHA_CHANNEL textures are generated without ALPHA bits reserved.
- D3D9 hardware mipmap updates are re-enabled, problems should be reported.
- In some cases fullscreeen modes under win32 should have a better frame rate now.
- Fixed the hillplane mesh to work with non-quadratic dimensions as well. Changed the interface also, so use a u32 dimension to specify the tilecount now.
- Hires timers are disabled on windows systems with more than one CPU, due to bugs
in the BIOS of many multi-core motherboards. To enable hires timers in your project,
use SetProcessAffinityMask to set to use only one CPU before creating the device.
- OpenGL render targets now the same way up as the other drivers. If you have
written opengl shaders that use render targets then you'll need to change your
texture coordinates accordingly.
- Fixed some OpenGL renderstate stuff. setBasicRenderstate returns with
active texture layer 0. The material renderer must return from OnUnset
with the same active texture layer. The alpha test is disabled and the
texture mode should be GL_MODULATE.
- Fixed CSoftwareTexture2::getOriginalSize, reported by CaptainPants. Added a
new method CSoftwareTexture2::getMaxMipMapSize to return the size of the largest
mipmap, which is used by texelarea instead of getOriginalSize.
- Changed parameter order of addArrowMesh and added default parameters such
that it's enough to set the color (or even just the name).
- Fixed bugs in MY3D and OBJ loader.
- Added IMeshCache::clearUnusedMeshes(). This allows the user to remove
meshes that are sitting in the mesh cache but aren't used by any scene nodes.
This is useful for example when changing levels.
- Added IUnknown::getReferenceCount()
- createDevice now reports errors if the driverType is unknown, previously it
created a window but populated it with a null driver without any warning.
- Fixed a bug in CBillboardTextSceneNode::setText where the old text was not
cleared.
- Changed irrArray::linear_search to use the == operator rather than <
This may be slower in some cases, but it no longer returns false positives
when searching arrays of classes that override the < operator but
!(x<y) && !(y<x) does not necessarily mean x==y (vectors, positions etc).
- Fixed getSize/getOriginalSize method inversion in OpenGL textures.
- Added per texture-layer filter settings, i.e. one can choose to filter
only chosen texture layers. If all layers are set to the same value the
convenience function material.setFlag(EMF_BILINEAR_FILTER, boolean) can be
used, TRILINEAR_FILTER and ANISOTROPIC_FILTER do work, too. In all other
cases material.BilinearFilter[i] (resp. TrilinerFilter[i] or
AnisotropicFilter[i]) shall are to be used.
- Added adjustable Attenuation for dynamic lights. This allows to change the
intensity of a light based on its distance. The default attenuation changed
from (0,1/radius,0) to (1,0,0) which means no effect by distance. Good
values for distance effects simply add small values to the second and third
element.
- Fixed a typo to do with 2nd light vectors in opengl parallax and normal map
renderers.
GUI:
- Fixes to menu and listbox (de)serialization, and custom listbox colors by CuteAlien.
- Added EGET_ELEMENT_CLOSED GUI event type. Absorb this event to cancel closing a window.
- Added _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_GUI_ to allow compiling without the GUI.
This is useful if you use another GUI system (ie CEGUI) or are using Irrlicht
inside another window. You will have to supply an external IGUIFont if you wish
to use font scene nodes as there will be no GUI environment available to load fonts.
- Added 7 more symbols to the built-in font and skin.
reason: to continue searching reverse on a specific position
(parameter is checked against boundaries )
- added operation reciprocal_squareroot to irrmath.
core::reciprocal_squareroot = 1.f / sqrtf ( x )
changed the core::vector3df normalize vector.
specialized templates are not allowed in irrlicht currently, so it's only for f32 for now.
a C function and a NVidia Version are in irrmath.h
- add Primitives to CFPSCounter
and changed interpolation to 1500ms instead of 2000ms
and rounding to ceiling..
- added Interface setAmbientLight to ISceneManager
it was a Bug, because SceneManager always calls Driver therefore AmbientLight has to be set in SceneManager.
- changed GUIFont & FontTool to support kerning ( on a global basis )
very basic mode.. apply an offset for position
useful for example if you want to apply an outline stroke in your favorite
and therefore let the texture grow.
and to correct the border back on drawing, specify the parameter in IGUIFont.
this is quite useful if you want to use more artistic fonts.
default = 0
better kerning would need a seperate coordinate set for each symbol.
- changed MD2_FRAME_SHIFT to lower framerate
-> lower IPol
problems can occur if somebody uses hardcoded frame-numbers instead
of Animation name...
- changed spelling "frustrum" to "frustum"
-> changed also SViewFrustrum.h to SViewFrustum.h
- changed Parameter AutomaticCulling from bool to enum E_CULLING_TYPE
to support more than two culling modes.
added Frustum culling ( it's a copy & paste from the octree )
added initial bounding sphere
used for culling point lights..
- Added getSystemMemory and getProcessorSpeedMHz for Windows and Linux to the OSOperator, submitted by Vitek.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.2 (29 Nov 2006)
- Added Solaris/Sparc port (basically some compiler define statements). Irrlicht and the examples should compile out-of-the-box on Suns with the usual Makefiles and gnumake.
- Added texture matrix support for hardware accelerated drivers. This allows for efficient texture coord manipulations for complete meshes at once.
- Multisampling with OpenGL under Linux added
- Non-power-of-two textures are left unscaled if the driver supports such textures.
- new draw2DImage method that speeds up drawing many quads from the same texture. Font drawing is improved by this under OpenGL.
- TGA files are now always correctly flipped and loaded if compressed. All PNG color formats are now supported, including correct alpha handling.
- 3ds mesh loader fix in texture loading, now loads some textures that were not loaded before, but might introduce problems with very recent files. OGRE mesh loader bugfixes and lightmap support. Several B3d mesh loader updates. Obj and mtl loader enhancements.
- A new compile flag (IRR_OPENGL_USE_EXTPOINTER) allows Irrlicht to either use OpenGL extension function pointers or direct OpenGL calls.
- OpenGL now uses frame buffer objects for render targets larger than the screen, supplied by Mandrav
- Split ESNRP_LIGHT_AND_CAMERA passes into ESNRP_LIGHT and ESNRP_CAMERA to fix a problem with lights being rendered before cameras in OpenGL (thanks again to Vitek for finding this). ESNRP_LIGHT_AND_CAMERA is now deprecated.
- Fixed many OpenGL render state problems which were related to wrong texture states. The textures are now enabled and disabled by the material renderers in OnSetMaterial. Also enabled the texture state cache which helps preventing texture changes just as the one for D3Dx. Thanks to hey_i_am_real for some good hints on where the problem was located.
- Added compile flag _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_X11_ which is by default enabled. Disabling the flag removes all X11 dependencies from Irrlicht and allows for a headless Linux Irrlicht server - added by request :-)
- Win32 OpenGL driver tries to use the requested bpp size.
- Default texture format is now A8R8G8B8 if not explicitly specified. This fixes some color artifacts with lightmaps. Bugfix submitted by hey_i_am_real.
- In OnPostRender all transformations were taken as relative and multiplied with the root transformation matrix every time due to a wrong check for the real root node. This shoudl increase render performance for scenes with lots of (invisible) nodes.
- Added correct list copy constructor.
- Color selection dialog added.
- New GUI skin "Burning Skin".
it's a black & white skin. look elegant on true-color.
and looks ok on 1-Bit ( e.g. no vertex color in burnings video )
- GUIStatic text is correctly grayed out if disabled.
- Added getHeight method for terrain node submitted by Spintz. It calculates the height from the base mesh instead of requiring ray casts and collision detection and is much faster.
- New methods core::lerp to linearly interpolate two floats and SColor.getLuminance to calculate luminance of RGB color.
- MAJOR API CHANGE:
Fixed matrix access methods mat(x,y). These were previously said to be (row,column) but actually were (column, row). This lead to some confusion and made their use quite tricky. Irrlicht code is updated for the new method, but applications will silently fail now (i.e. compile without errors, but not working as expected).
- Update to zlib-1.2.3
- Fixed vertex alpha handling in DirectX drivers.
- Image writers fixed and working (at least for little endian systems).
- VSync under Linux fixed and correctly working.
- New os::Byteswap::byteswap methods which can be used for byteswapping (endianess correction) in mesh loaders and image loaders.
- New video driver feature to check for multitexture feature.
- Direct3D drivers update the devicelost variable if reseeting failed with this return code.
- VideoModeList under Linux is correctly filled now. No glX calls are made if GLX extension is not found - only software drivers are available then. RandR extension can be enabled with a new compile flag in IrrCompileConfig.h, either instead of XF86VidMode or in addition.
- Big Endian support for MS3D loader.
- Apfelbaum software renderer: basic mipmap support (per triangle), switch for using w-buffer instad z-buffer ( default on )
- Better FPU support: Changed various fpu-call's in whole project (main reason to use faster float to int conversion on x86. ( fistp ))
- changed Visual Studio 7.1 vcproj project config "Release Fast FPU" to __fastcall in /QIfist
- CGUIFont added True Alpha Font Support. (currently it's a little hack, but it'a good starting point. Fonts are back compatible. To use the new feature make first pixel half transparent in the font file.)
- Scolor: replaced s16 color with u16 color, replaced s32 color with u32 color to get rid of unnecessary arithmetic shift
- Colorconverter: X8R8G8B8toA1R5G5B5, set Alpha High, minor: A1R5G5B5toA8R8G8B8 changed if (a) to conditional set
- The scene manager now sets an ambient light color when calling ISceneManager::drawAll().
You can influence this by calling ISceneManager::setAmbientLight(). That light color
is also stored when saving .irr files via ISceneManager::saveScene().
- Loaded COLLADA files which contained only one single mesh now behave like all the
other loaded meshes, and the #meshname workaround has been removed.
- File lists are now sorted.
- Dynamically checking the OpenGL version now instead of at compile time to call the supported methods of the executing machine, not that one of the compile host. This should fix the extension check and the automatic mipmap update.
- Fixed vertex alpha handling of 2D images with OpenGL.
- Default depth buffer under Windows now 24bit to avoid zbuffer fighting.
- Fixed light count in OpenGL.
- Particle emitters can now be enabled/disabled via a new method.
- Sky dome is rotatable just like the sky box.
- Rotation animator can be applied to several nodes now, before it only rotated the first one it was applied to.
- Support for drawing other vertex primitive lists such as triangle strips.
- Default specular color is white again, thus simply enabling shininess is enough to get speculars.
- Some .x loader and animator improvements. Vertex color support.
- isActive now also work under Linux.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.1 (06 Aug 2006)
- New example to show some features of the .irr format
- Added support for making screenshots in all video drivers and a general
possibility to save any IImage to several file formats.
Some image writers are not yet implemented. As a testcase screenshots
are now available in the demo by pressing F9.
This code was contributed by Travis Vitek.
- Changed EAMTS_OCT to EAMT_OCT.
- Improved .3ds and .obj file importers.
- Added support for .b3d (Blitz Basic) submitted by Luke Hoschke and
.pak (Quake archive) files submitted by skreamz.
- Added sky dome implementation contributed by Anders la Cour-Harbo (alc).
- In addition to the Cube scene node (formerly test scene node) there is now also a sphere scene node available,
with an adjustable amount of polygons. Use ISceneManager::addSphereSceneNode to create it.
Thx to Alfaz93 for making available his code on which this node is based on.
Note that both nodes now use default material settings, e.g. lighting is enabled by default.
- Fixed Linux keyhandling for many keys.
- The aspect ratio has been inverted in the matrix, which means when setting a new aspect ratio
for cameras, set it to screen.width/screen.height now instead of screen.height/screen.width
as previously.
- added support for reading/importing binary .x files.
- .ms3d and .x normals are now correctly transformed in animations, bounding
boxes are slightly better transformed, but not yet correct.
- Added possibility to load and save Irrlicht scenes to and from xml files via
ISceneManager::saveScene and ISceneManager::loadScene. Note that not all
scene nodes are supported yet, but most features should already work.
- Bounding box of the Skybox corrected (set to null)
- The SMaterial structure now supports 4 textures. (Currently ignored by the renderers and their materials.)
- Test scene node renamed to CubeSceneNode.
- Added scene node animator factories. This is the same as scene node
factories, but for scene node animators.
- Added scene node factories. This is an interface making it possible to dynamicly
create scene nodes. To be able to add custom scene nodes to Irrlicht and
to make it possible for the scene manager to save and load those external scene nodes, simply
implement this interface and register it in you scene manager via ISceneManager::
registerSceneNodeFactory
- Introduced IMeshSceneNode interface with the possibility to set readonly materials to make
it possible to use the mesh materials directly instead of overriding them. In this way
it is possible to change the materials of a mesh causing all mesh scene nodes
referencing this mesh to change, too.
- Added possibility to load OGRE .mesh files directly, thanks to Christian Stehno who contributed
a loader for this.
- Merged with Irrlicht 1.0 for MacOS
- Added a method getType() to ISceneNodeAnimator.
- There is now a system to serialize and deserialize attributes of scene nodes. In this way
it should be quite simple to to expose the attributes of your scene node for scripting
languages, editors, debuggers or xml serialization purposes.
- Irrlicht containers and strings now have allocators, making it possible to
use them across .dll boundaries.
- Changed the name of scene nodes from wide character to to char* for speed and memory reasons.
- Renamed IStringParameter class to IAttributes and enhanced it to be able to
serialize its content into and from xml.
- Textures now have a method getName().
- Added the methods getTextureCount() and getTextureByIndex() to IVideoDriver.
- Most classes now derive virtually from IUnknown.
-------------------------------------------
Changes in version 1.0 (19 Apr 2006)
- Irrlicht now will load d3d 9 dlls (like d3dx9_27.dll) manually if needed. If you compile irrlicht
with an SDK which needs one of these dlls, irrlicht will now also start up on a pc without
these Dlls installed. Note that now these dlls will also only be loaded if your application
uses shaders. If the dlls are missing, shader support will be disabled.
- The Apfelbaum Software Software Renderer now works in 32 bit and is capable of rendering dynamic
lighting as well as doing alpha channel blending.
- Added support for the Code::Blocks IDE (http://www.codeblocks.org)
- It is now possible to draw temporarily to foreign windows, by specifying a window handle when
calling IVideoDriver::endScene(). Note: This does not work in fullscreen mode and is not
implemented for all devices (only for D3D8, D3D9, Software1 and Software2, and only for Windows).
In addition, you can also specify the source rectangle to present.
- Picking is now more accurate and also works with view ports and better with orthogonal cameras.
- Scene Nodes now have an additional flag, IsDebugObject. This denotes if a
scene node is a debug object. Debug objects have some special properties,
for example they can be easily excluded
from collision detection, picking or from serialization, etc.
- Scene Nodes now have the possibility to return their type using
virtual ESCENE_NODE_TYPE getType().
- Improved support for orthogonal rendering: Skyboxes and billboards can be
used with orthogonal cameras now, too.
- Fixed a bug in collision
- Fixed some marshalling bugs in Irrlicht.NET
- Some fixes to make gcc 4 happy.
- Fixed a bug which caused the engine to crash when trying to use the
apfelbaum software rasterizer with linux
- Several improvements to Irrlicht.NET, for example string output for vectors, viewfrustrum access
for cameras, drawing of bounding boxes, support for orthogonal cameras.
- Updated DMF importer to support new DeleD functionalities, solid materials will now be
shown correctly again in Irrlicht. Thanks to Salvatore "Il Buzzo".
- Added a method to change the return value of ICameraSceneNode::isOrthogonal
- Improved md2 animation playback
- Fixed the REFLECTION_2_LAYER materials. Now also works for OpenGL. Had to change the parameters
of this material (for all drivers), the reflection is now at texture 2 and the diffuse map at
texture 1. This was the other way round before.
- Added examples for csharp, visualbasic, delphi.net and boo.
