New static LOD algorithm for sprites (which is going to be removed in favor of progressive meshes). Patch to BeOS port from David Huen. Fixes to Windows/Direct3D and Windows/OpenGL from Nathaniel Saint Martin. Fixes to Windows in general from Thomas Hieber (also new project files). Fix for Linux Glide makefile from Gert Steenssens. DJGPP makefile has been fixed for assembly compile. Large patch from Ivan Avramovic with a fundamental change in the csObject hierarchy. Have a look at this. It may be very important if you're interested in sharing game objects with CS engine objects. Patch from Andrew Zabolotny for makefile system. This patch should make it easier to use the makefiles on systems which don't have a unix shell (like DOS). Support for buggy EGCS compiler from David Huen and me (enable this support at the end in mk/user.mak). Update to Macintosh port from Robert Bate. He added Glide support for the Macintosh! . | Crystal Space 0.13r010 | updated | |
