Hello Performers,

SGI is very pleased to announce, OpenGL Performer 3.2.2 is now released!

As previously indicated, and after some delays with the site, the web
downloads for 64-bit Linux, 32-bit Linux, IRIX, and Windows OS platforms
are now available. Please visit the Performer web site:

         <http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/>

The Demo Edition of Performer 3.2.2 is available as a free web download.
  An SGI Supportfolio membership is required to access the download
site. If you don't already have an SGI Supportfolio account you can
sign up for free.

OpenGL Performer 3.2.2 is backward binary-compatible with versions 3.2
and 3.2.1 and forward binary-compatible with any future releases in the
Performer 3.2.x series. Licenses purchased for versions 3.2 or 3.2.1
will also function with 3.2.2, and vice versa.

Here's some of what's new for OpenGL Performer 3.2.2:

           o Evanalyzer tools are now supported on SGI Prism. (SCR
             937149, SCR 942402, SCR 942403, SCR 942405)

           o 942555: OpenGL Performer 3.1.1 backwards compatibility
             rpms have been added to the 32-bit Linux release.

           o 942556, 945158: A static bundled version of Inventor is
             now built into the Windows and 32-bit Linux version of
             the Inventor loader (libpfiv.dll and libpfiv.so).

           o 941714: OpenGL Performer man pages are now installed in
             /usr/share/man/ on Linux.

           o 941910: The various libpfv samples are now updated to
             function on the SGI Prism.

           o 936629: Prototypes for pfDisCurve2d::computeTangents(),
             pfDisCurve2d::computeNormals(),
             pfDisCurve2d::computeCurvatures(), and
             pfDisCurve2d::computeDerivates() were missing from
             pfDisCurve2d.h. Fixed.

           o 933922: State leak from flat shaded GeoSet to GeoArray.
             Fixed.

           o 938704: Intermittent 'unable to determine swapbuffers
             behavior' warning on 32-bit Linux platforms. Fixed.

           o 939992: GeoArray & .geoa pseudoloader performance
             problem if GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY error condition reached.
             Fixed.

           o 939999: GeoArray & .gopt pseudoloaders corrupts normals
             for flat primitives. Fixed.

           o 940030: libpfv samples need update for SGI Prism.
             Duplicate of 941910, Fixed.

           o 940138: .geoa loader corrupted geometry. Duplicate of
             939999, fixed.

           o 940973: pfTexture state leak causes flickering of
             untextured geometry. Fixed.

           o 941249: pfvPicker::grantRequest() NULL pointer
             dereference. Fixed.

           o 941338: pfvXmlNode::parseFile does not check
             pfFilePath. Fixed.

           o 942182: DPLEX / pfHyperpipe deadlocks. Fixed.

           o 942457: APP / DRAW process mistimings due to swap
             behavior tester errors. On Linux systems (both 32 and
             64-bit) with ATI graphics, the swap behavior test
             mistakenly believes a system which blocks on swap to be
             one that does not. This causes significant errors in
             timing, including APP and DRAW processes starting at
             incorrect times and DRAW processes spinning too long
             before swapping, which causes dropped frames. Fixed.

           o 942461: pfMigrator::init() crash when repeating calls
             to pfInit(), pfConfig(), pfExitWithoutExit(). Fixed.

           o 942475: Extra glXMakeCurrent calls causing performance
             hit. Fixed.

           o 942673: Transparency Problems with FLT loader. The
             loader was ignoring the transparency values in the
             model. Fixed.

           o 942685: problems with FLT and multitexturing. FLT
             files with multitexture were only showing the first
             texture. Fixed.

           o 942742: PF_SYNC_TO_VBLANK missing from 'man performer'.
             Fixed.

           o 942797: pfBuffer internal ID table growth not thread
             safe. Fixed.

           o 942931: pfuGetMouse fails to catch all mouse button
             events. When the mouse is moved fast enough while
             clicking, collectXInput and pfuCollectXEventStream are
             called several times before the application (or libpfv)
             could copy the last mouse event using pfuGetMouse. Now,
             the mouse is fully processed in pfuGetMouse. The prior
             behavior can be restored by setting
             PFU_CLEAR_MOUSECLICK_EVENTS to 1.

           o 942976: pfvViewer fails to load modules in current
             directory. Fixed.

           o 943107: Performer manpages broken on 32-bit Linux.
             'man pfConfig' or any other Performer manpage would
             output an error message. Fixed.

           o 943207: pfvXmlNode::parseFile errors with LARGE files.
             Fixed.

           o 943919: Performer exits with "Performer just tried to
             fork on windows. This is error" message on Win32
             platforms. Fixed.

           o 944639: bad mouse coordinates returned when mouse
             dragged over screen boundary. Fixed.

           o 945019: missing manpage for
             pfGeoArray::getArrayMemSize. Fixed.

           o 945152: Added many missing keys to libpfutil. Many key
             symbols were not recognized by pfuCollectXEventStream,
             including Caps Lock and most of the non-ASCII keys on
             the keypad and above the arrow keys. Fixed.

Enjoy!
Allan
