Fixed a bug in the OpenRL map renderer which was causing to context to be initialized incorrectly. Recompiled using the latest libraries ( OpenRL 1.2R1, JRE 1.7u10, Optix 3.0 ).

Recompiled with Optix 2.6, Java JRE 1.7u9, FBX 2013.3. Recompiled with the latest libraries ( Optix 2.5.1, OpenRL 1.1R3, JRE 1.7u6, FBX 2013.2, Crosswalk 2013.0 ).

Removed several warning dialogs that should not appear in batch mode. Solved a problem that was causing to show a topology mismatch dialog when you use external cages with the triangulator shortest diagonal option enabled. Fixed several bugs ( CS6 compatibility, memory leak in FBX importer, DX9/10 derivative map flip, etc... ). Recompiled with the latest libraries ( Optix 2.5.1, OpenRL 1.1R3, JRE 1.7u6, FBX 2013.2, Crosswalk 2013.0 ).

Now you can use derivative maps in the 3D viewport. Added 3dsmax/Maya 2013 support. Added preliminary support for Photoshop CS6. Fixed a problem that was avoiding the OpenCTM mesh importer plug-in to load properly. Fixed a memory leak releasing shaders in the OpenGL graphics driver. Solved a problem with Growl ( GNTP-send ) which was causing some crashes after you render a map or you use the Simple AO/Conemap tools. The OpenGL graphics driver now uses always a windowed mode because some old drivers appear to have problems displaying system dialogs in fullscreen mode. Optimized the de-indexing phase for all the graphics drivers. Dropped support for old cards ( ps_1_0, ps_2_0, ps_2_x ) in the DX9 graphics driver. Now it only supports DX9 SM3 cards. Optimized the shader's instruction count for the DX9 graphics driver and removed expensive shadow methods. Recompiled using the latest libraries ( Crosswalk 2012.5, FBXSDK 2012.2, Ogre3D 1.7.4 ).

Improved compatibility reading .OBJ vertex colors from 3D Coat. The OpenGL graphics driver now lists all the anti-aliasing video modes. Added an option to the mikktspace plug-in to compute the binormal on the fly in the shader. Recompiled using the latest libraries ( Optix 2.5, JDK 1.7u3 ). Sun, 26 Feb 2012 18:37:00 GMT
