Aqsis 1.4 Release Notes ------------------------ These are the Release notes for the Aqsis 1.4 branch. Installation ------------- The build system now relies on CMake on all platforms. Please refer to the INSTALL file for detailed instructions. Features and Improvements ------------------------- Aqsis-1.4 features include * Eqsl - A user interface for Aqsis. * Piqsl - An advanced, non-blocking, framebuffer. * AqsisTex - An improved texture handling system and library. * Smooth shading interpolation. * Internal shader pre-processor. * Linux desktop integration. * Many bugfixes Caveats and Deprecations relative to 1.2 ---------------------------------------- Shadow sampling: with the new aqsistex library, shadow sampling now uses exactly the number of samples requested. The old behaviour used a lot more samples than requested in many circumstances, so values for the "samples" parameter may need to be increased.
