Frontend

Finally we are ready to make Frontend 2.0 Beta 3 available to interested users! This release features among a lot of other things, the following upgrades from Beta 2:

• Refactored, heavily improved and optimized base class library (string, IO, containers, maps, algorithms, vector math etc).
• Complete sound implementations for Linux and Windows.
• New Frontend::Net interface for network programming, with complete implementations for Linux and Windows.
• Completely rewritten and elegant resource management system in Frontend::Utils.
• Brand new extensible scene graph framework in Frontend::Utils.
• New Frontend::Utils::GUI library for easily integrating user interfaces into Frontend::Graphics applications.
• Loaders and Savers(new!) for several new formats, including support for loading scene graphs directly from COLLADA files.

As we are continuously working on Frontend, we will now allow registered users to access the subversion (SVN) repository directly, and thus be able to receive updates regularly. We are currently revising the licensing model for Frontend 2.0, so it is for now required to register in order to get access to Beta 3. See the download page for more information.
