1. OpenGL support
The loader has been ported to OpenGL. The Performer 2.0 version now
contains the two libraries: libpfs1k_igl and libpfs1k_ogl.
2. Performer 1.2 support
I've included support for Performer 1.2 in this release. There are
now two tar files in the distribution.
libpfs1k_1.2.tar.Z - for Performer 1.2
libpfs1k_2.0.tar.Z - for Performer 2.0
The 1.2 version contains the static libraries, the header file and
the usual Docs. Use the same methods to incorporate this loader
into your Performer application as you would any other 1.2 loader
This is no help provided but it is exactly the same interface as
all the other standard loaders.
These two files are currently in ftp++at++sgigate.ti.com:/receive (though
they won't be viewable). Request that they be moved to
/pub/Performer/src/pf1.2/ and /pub/Performer/src/pf2.0/.
3. Stamp textures bug fixed
There was a bug reported by Loral concerning stamp textures. This
bug has been fixed in this release (both versions).
4. Updates to the documentation
If you have not read the paper, you might find it helpful in gaining
insight in how to tune your S1000 database load for best performance
(/Doc/s1k_loader_paper). Also check out the file template.s1k which
defines all of the loader control directives.
