Mattel007 used our newssubmit to tell us that DirectX8.0b is available for download. What has been updated:
Core ⋅ D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx can now load certain16-bit BMPs generated by IE 5.0 ⋅ Add unicode support to D3DXCreateText functions ⋅ All D3DX functions use D3DLOCK_NOSYSLOCK when locking resources |
Effects
⋅ D3DXCreateEffectFromFile(A or W) now returns D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA for errors
⋅ Effect compiler now handles vector literals correctly
⋅ Setting a shader constant to a matrix in an effect, now performs transpose
⋅ Setting NULL vertex and pixel shaders in an effect are now allowed
I guess the URL for download is www.microsoft.com
