Zip files containing the binaries for Gorgon v3.2.15.043

The Gorgon_3.2.15.043 zip file contains the libraries for use in development environments, and the editor. This contains only the binaries.

The Gorgon_Debug_3.2.15.043 zip file contains debug versions of the libraries and plug ins. This debug version contains more extensive error checking and messages to help diagnose problems. It is strongly recommended that developers use this when writing their applications and switch to the release version when deploying.

Note: In order to use the debug version, or any applications compiled against the debug version, you will need to have the Direct3D SDK Layers installed. To install, go to System Settings -> Add or remove programs -> Apps & features -> Manage optional features in Windows, and add the Graphics Tools option.

The Gorgon_Examples_3.2.15.043 zip file contains the binaries for the example applications included with Gorgon. It is strongly recommended that you download this if you're uncertain whether Gorgon will suit your needs or not.

Changes:

• 8d05edc [2D] - Added switch to turn on z-depth checking for lights so they don't render behind objects.
• 2e4fff2 [2D] - Massive overhaul of the lighting effect. The Begin/End and Render(texture) methods have been removed and only the gbuffer route remains (it works the best out of all of them). Limits on light count have been removed. Examples have been updated to show how to use the gbuffer with the lighting effect. NOTE: This is most certainly a breaking change.
• 6e0d3ed [2D] - Removed code that rebuilt lighting shaders when the light count got past a certain threshold. This also fixes an issue where the light count was inaccurate when copying to the GPU buffer.
• b7d2b32 [Graphics] - Fixed issue with copying immutable textures to another texture (for some reason this was disabled?)
• ac0abfa [Editor API] - Fixed background color of save as service dialog.
• ac0074e [2D] - Added a world position buffer to the GBuffer and updated lighting to use it in order to calculate lighting range.
• c9f8385 [Editor API] - Added function to assign a data context (view model) to the current hosted control without knowing the type of control or type of view model.

As much as I try to avoid it, this version does contain breaking changes. I would recommend only upgrading if you're having issues or aren't worried about rebuilding parts of your code.
