Patch 3229, "IRIS Performer 2.2.2 upgrade from 2.2/2.2.1", is now
available. This patch fixes several bugs in the Performer libraries
(just barely in time for SIGGRAPH) and also includes the compat
library fixes from patch 3138.
Those of you with maintenance contracts can get the patch from your
support provider, or download it via SupportFolio online(**):
http://support.sgi.com/surfzone/patches/ or the direct URL,
http://support.sgi.com:80/surfzone/patches/support/pinfo/pinfo3229.html
(**) At the moment I'm writing this, the patch hasn't yet been
copied out to the web site. If you need this patch for
SIGGRAPH, customer support can either make it available for you
via FTP, or you can >>contact me for alternatives<<. It should
be on the web site by Friday morning.
Some notes:
Patch 3229 should be loaded on any system which has performer_eoe
installed from Performer 2.2 (version 1274244010) or Performer 2.2.1
(version 1274244710).
We've tested it with IRIS Performer 2.2 on systems running IRIX 6.2,
IRIX 6.3, and IRIX 6.4; and with IRIS Performer 2.2.1 on IRIX 6.5.
As an aside: This patch contains the identical updates and bugfixes
as the IRIS Performer 2.2.2 maintenance overlay for IRIX 6.5.1. (To
be released later this year)
The patch fixes the following bugs:
o SCR 605958 - pfdFindConverterDSO() unable to dynamically load
file-loader DSO's when using the compat libs
o SCR 600942 - visfly demo not starting; unresolvable symbol
pfuCalcNormalizedChanXY
o SCR 598903 - 2.2 compat libraries have bad lighting
o SCR 591154 - pfBillboards were always using Z axis
o SCR 611816 - pfPipeWindow resize with forked cull caused slow &
per-frame X communication
o SCR 600949 - pfTexture with TexLOD settings would leak memory
o SCR 603177 - pfUnrefDelete() would delete an object when its ref
count was decremented to 65536. This has been fixed, and the
types of pfGetRef() and pfUnrefGetRef() have been changed from
ushort to int.
o SCR 576096 - The lookahead directive was ignored in no-imagecache
.ct clip texture configuration files. NOTE: since this is fixed,
applications using .ct files containing a lookahead command may
use much more memory, and may have to be re-tuned (or the
lookahead command removed)
o (No bug number) - The CSB loader has been updated to enable
loading of files created by OpenGL Optimizer 2.0
o SCR 615990 - The FLT loader has been updated to version 15.4g.
Several bugs have been fixed, including:
o A bug in revision R15.4fi where pfuTexGenClipCenterNode was
inserted as parent of root node. In such cases the clip texture
was not centered.
o A bug in revision R15.4fi where the loader's user data slot was
not initialized. This caused core dumps when certain run-time
features were enabled such as clip planes, behaviors, and
adaptive light points.
o SCR 581332, 581334 - Projected textures behaved improperly when
using multiple channels or when lighting was off
o SCR 603567 - Inf frame rate reported for Interlaced video
formats. Now, the current swap rate will be reported which for
interlaced video formats might be faster than the requested frame
rate (ie. 60/30Hz).
o (No bug number) - 64bit operation with IRIX 6.5 could fail.
That's it, happy patching. And, see you at SIGGRAPH.
