This new update brings several major new features, most notably recursive vertex generators and interactivity through event handlers, which also allow to create simple games. Other new features, namely sRGB mode and geometry shaders have been added per request. The full list follows.
- Introducing recursive generators for model construction
- Introducing event handlers that enable creation of interactive scripts
- Added ShadronPlayer.exe, a redistributable viewer for Shadron scripts
- Added feedback image, a variant of the feedback object that produces a static image
- Added support for geometry shaders
- Added support for hardware sRGB color mode
- Functions and procedures may now be defined, which can be called even in non-GLSL expressions
- Added "watch" sections to monitor expression values
- Added "comment" sections that are printed among parameters
- Added basic time controls to the GUI (restart and pause buttons and current time)
- Improved compatibility with WINE
- Image sequence export generalized for non-animated objects via a control parameter
- Vertex list export now also applicable to vertex_lists and generators
- New library files: rng, srgb, camera_view, event_utils
- Fixed relative paths in included source files
- Fixed matrix constants and parameters that were being incorrectly transposed
- Generated GLSL code optimized
- Improved appearance of matrix and boolean parameters in the GUI
- Added load script button in place of refresh button when no script is loaded
- Added a keyboard shortcut to bring all child windows to foreground (Alt+F)
- Fixed matrix initialization by scalar value in non-GLSL expressions
- Fixed parsing of forward declarations of GLSL functions
- Fixed off-by-one error in line number due to differences between GLSL versions
- File name now reported in GLSL compile errors if supported by OpenGL implementation
- Improved static checking of non-GLSL expressions
- Some example files updated, added triangle-generator example
- Minor improvements and bug fixes
