Changelog:

This release took a LOT of time to release and there's way too many changes to list all of them, I'll do my best anyway.

Please note this update does break the API compatibility with the previous version (changes breaking the API compatibility are marked with a ⚠️ symbol).

Build system:

• ⚠️Update premake binaries version to premake5-alpha12
• It is now possible to generate a tool project running which will run the premake when built on Windows (PremakeProject=true).
• Added VS2017 Windows shortcut

Demo:

• Improved Particle Demo

Core:

• https://github.com/DigitalPulseSoftware/NazaraEngine/pull/126 File locking now works properly on Linux

• Added ParameterList::ForEach method
• Flags<T> operators works in the global namespace as well

Graphics:

• Added support for skybox reflections, realtime reflections are on the tracks!
• ⚠️ InstancedRenderable now handle materials and skins in a generic way (which means you can use skins on every InstancedRenderable such as Billboard, Sprites, etc.).

• ⚠️ RigidBody2D created without mass are now kinematic by default instead of statics

Utility:

• https://github.com/DigitalPulseSoftware/NazaraEngine/pull/128 ⚠️ Platform-specific classes were moved to a new module: Platform (this means Utility module no longer needs to be linked to X11/xcb or gdi32).

Note for MinGW users:

Multiples versions of MinGW exists, I recommand you to use the Mingw-w64 version, as they are more advanced and use a faster exception handling mode.
Compiled versions are only provided for the following toolchains

Please note that TDM-GCC versions are no longer provided because of their lack of compatibility with some options, and lack of necessity.

• #114: Box/cubic sphere submesh generation is broken.

Known issues:

• RUDPConnection is still very experimental and may fail to handle packet loss, do not use. (#74)
• The NAZARA_VERSION_* macros are still referring to 0.1.1

Note for MinGW users:

Multiples versions of MinGW exists, I recommand you to use the Mingw-w64 version, as they are more advanced and use a faster exception handling mode.
Compiled versions are only provided for the following toolchains

MinGW-6.1.0-x86-DW2 MinGW-6.1.0-x64-SEH

Please note that TDM-GCC versions are no longer provided because of their lack of compatibility with some options, and lack of necessity.

Here are the Visual Studio 2015 (msvc14), MinGW and Linux binaries.

As always, the online documentation got updated.

Changelog:

The following additions were made:

• Nz::Bitset now supports shifting operations (along with <<, >> operators) (37089d9a5fba52ba83f46d603381584a13036ac0).

The following issues were fixed:

• #73, #81: Nazara fails to compile on Linux with x86 target.
• #75: Lua constructors may fail in some cases.
• #77: Packaging the engine under Linux fails to copy the executable binaries of the demo and unit tests.
• #78: Building with Clang fails.
• #79: SocketPoller::Wait does not update its error parameter on Linux.
• #80: When initializing the engine, some pixel format errors occurs, this currently has no side-effect.

Known issues:

• RUDPConnection is still very experimental and may fail to handle packet loss, do not use. (#74)
• Some shaders used by the Graphics module may fail to compile with some drivers. (#102)
• On Windows, when using threaded windows, the window position obtained by Window::GetPosition() never gets updated. (#104)
• On Windows, when not using threaded windows, a lot of Moved events gets generated instead of just one for every movement. (#105)
• Box/cubic sphere submesh generation is broken. (#114)

Note for MinGW users:

Multiples versions of MinGW exists, I recommand you to use the Mingw-w64 version, as they are more advanced and use a faster exception handling mode.

MinGW-6.1.0-x86-DW2 MinGW-6.1.0-x64-SEH
TDM-GCC-5.1.0-x86-SJLJ (Codeblocks 16.01 version)

Please note that TDM-GCC-5.1.0-x64-SJLJ fails to compile the engine because of their lack of support of the .lib format (used for Assimp/Newton, LIB2A was no help and compiling Assimp yielded a 26 MB binary instead of the 4MB version of Visual Studio).
