La nouvelle version de nVidia CG Toolkit

nVidia nous livre à l'occasion de la GPU Technology Conference la nouvelle version de son logiciel largement utilisé par la communauté des développeurs.


Cette version 2.2 est disponible pour Windows, Mac, Linux et Solaris !

Voici les changements apportaient par cette version 2.2 :

-Allow compiler options in effect compile statements, e.g. VertexProgram = compile vp40 “-po PosInv=1″ shader();

-Better performance when running on multicore CPUs

-Choosing the “latest” profile is now deferred until effect validation

-Improved the inverse matrix computation in cgGLSetStateMatrixParameter

-Better memory behavior when a program is repeatedly recompiled

-Fixed an issue when using PSIZE semantic with ps_3_0 and ps_4_0 profiles

-cgCombinePrograms now works with CG_OBJECT programs

-cgGetNextProgram was always returning 0

-Fixed a problem with effect parameters and cgGLGetTextureEnum

-Allow comments prior to the shader version in D3D asm blocks of an effect

-HLSL10: Mark globally scoped temporaries ’static’ to keep them out of constant buffers

-HLSL10: Allow any semantic for varyings provided the semantics match between stages

-HLSL10: Fix handling of TEXUNITn semantic

-HLSL10: Added support for arrays of samplers

-HLSL10: Empty structs for uniform parameters crashed the D3D compiler

-Fixed a problem when connecting parameters of type string

-Corrected issues in the fp20 profile on Solaris

-Now using MesaGLUT-7.5 for GLUT on Windows

-DirectX10 and GLSL geometry profiles (gs_4_0 AND glslg)

-Support for “latest” profile keyword in CgFX compile statements

-Additional API routines (see New API for a complete list)

-Support for pack_matrix() pragma

-Arrays of shaders can now be used in CgFX files

-Libraries for 64 bit Solaris development

-Migrated the OpenGL examples onto GLEW

-New examples including: examples/Direct3D10/advanced (combine_programs, gs_shrinky, gs_simple), xamples/OpenGL/advanced (cgfx_latest), examples/Tools (cgfxcat, cginfo)

-New documentation

-Updated reference manual pages for new profiles and entry points

-Bug fixes
