Tutorials updated

Published by Duckers on January 15, 2008 in Dev Blog. 1 Comment

The tutorial pages are now updated to reflect the incompatibilities between Beta 1 to Beta 2. The primary differences are:

  • Libraries must be built manually (Explained in tutorial #1)
  • The header “FWG/Frontend2Impl.h” is now removed, include “OpenFrontend2.h” instead. The new header includes Graphics, Sound and Input. “Frontend2Utils.h” is still a separate header. (Updated in all relevant tutorials)

If you find any more inconsistencies, please alert us at frontend@outracks.net or visit #Frontend on EFnet (IRC).

Beta 2 is here, introducing OpenFrontend!

Beta 2 for Win32 is finally ready for download! This new release features the following:

  • New clarified license! We have renamed the FWG Implementations to OpenFrontend, which means you get the source code included in the download. You may now compile Frontend with your favorite compiler and port it to the platform of your choice. No more binary incompatibilities!
  • A bunch of new features in Frontend Utils.
  • Several bugfixes and cleanups. Some minor API changes.

Only Win32/VC8 projects are included by default, makefiles and other project types are coming soon. Please note that the tutorial section still contains several references to Beta 1 specific stuff. We will clean this up as soon as possible. Note in particular that “FWG/Frontend2Impl.h” is renamed to “OpenFrontend2.h”.
