Release Notes (2012-12-21)
General Information
A new version 2.4.2 of SharpDX is available today for download.
This version is a maintenance version, mainly fixing several issues and improving the SharpDX Toolkit.
This release is also introducing some breaking changes, so this is actually not what could be called a 'minor' release:
- Replace all Viewport with a new global SharpDX.Viewport. The SharpDX.Direct3D11.Viewport with SharpDX.ViewportF.
- Some enumerations names/class names has been renamed with more accurate CamelCase convention (In MediaFoundation, SharpDX.Direct2D1.RoundedRect renamed to RoundedRectangle, lots of D3D10/D3D11 MessageId enums now correctly named with camel case...etc.)
This release is integrating several patches made by the community on github. Thanks to all of them!
