CHANGELOG
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 (2010-11-21)
FEATURES:
- Add support for static Blender (*.blend) scenes
- Add support for Q3BSP scenes
- Add a windows-based OpenGL sample featuring texturing & basic materials
- Add an experimental progress feedback interface.
- Vastly improved performance (up to 500%, depending on mesh size and
spatial structure) in some expensive postprocessing steps
- AssimpView now uses a reworked layout which leaves more space
to the scene hierarchy window
- Add C# bindings ('Assimp.NET')
- Keep BSD-licensed and otherwise free test files in separate
folders (./test/models and ./test/models-nonbsd).
FIXES:
- Many Collada bugfixes, improve faul tolerance
- Fix possible crashes in the Obj loader
- Improve the Ogre XML loader
- OpenGL-sample now works with MinGW
- Fix Importer::FindLoader failing on uppercase file extensions
- Fix flawed path handling when locating external files
- Limit the maximum number of vertices, faces, face indices and
weights that Assimp is able to handle. This is to avoid
crashes due to overflowing counters.
- Updated XCode project files
- Further CMAKE build improvements
API CHANGES:
- Add data structures for vertex-based animations (These are not
currently used, however ...)
- Some Assimp::Importer methods are const now.
1.1 (2010-04-17)
This is the list of relevant changes from the 1.0 (r412) release to 1.1 (r700).
FEATURES:
- Vastly improved Collada support
- Add MS3D (Milkshape 3D) support
- Add support for Ogre XML static meshes
- Add experimental COB (TrueSpace) support
- Automatic test suite to quickly locate regressions
- D bindings (`dAssimp`)
- Python 2.n bindings (`PyAssimp`)
- Add basic support for Unicode input files (utf8, utf16 and utf32)
- Add further utilities to the `assimp` tool (xml/binary dumps, quick file stats)
- Switch to a CMAKE-based build system including an install target for unix'es
- Automatic evaluation of subdivision surfaces for some formats.
- Add `Importer::ReadFileFromMemory` and the corresponding C-API `aiReadFileFromMemory`
- Expose further math utilities via the C-API (i.e. `aiMultiplyMatrix4`)
- Move noboost files away from the public include directory
- Many, many bugfixes and improvements in existing loaders and postprocessing steps
- Documentation improved and clarified in many places.
- Add a sample on using Assimp in conjunction with OpenGL
- Distribution/packaging: comfortable SDK installer for Windows
- Distribution/packaging: improved release packages for other architectures
CRITICAL FIXES:
- Resolve problems with clashing heap managers, STL ABIs and runtime libraries (win32)
- Fix automatic detection of file type if no file extension is given
- Improved exception safety and robustness, prevent leaking of exceptions through the C interface
- Fix possible heap corruption due to material properties pulled in incorrectly
- Avoid leaking in certain error scenarios
- Fix 64 bit compatibility problems in some loaders (i.e. MDL)
BREAKING API CHANGES:
- None -
MINOR API BEHAVIOUR CHANGES:
- Change quaternion orientation to suit to the more common convention (-w).
- aiString is utf8 now. Not yet consistent, however.
