Release Notes

this release fixes a few bugs and some compilation issues found in the 0.92.2 release of Gem (see below)

highlights

GLSL shaders

support geometry shaders: cool effects are waiting out there...

Geos

models use their stored UV-texture coordinates: finally you can build your textured models in your favourite modeller and fully use them in Gem

trapezoid object with correctly distorted textures

video capturing

on linux we now have native support for V4L2 devices (including your eee's webcam, the PS3-camera and whatever hot devices are on the market...)

film/movie reading

on linux we now use Gmerlin/avdecoder support which allows you to read more movie formats and faster than ever (from FLVs to HDV)

video effects

FreeFrame effects can now be initialized directly as (e.g.) [pix_GlowVFX] (for the GlowVFX effect)

pix storage

pix_writer is a new object for writing images to your harddisk

openGL

more openGL wrapper objects

you can now use symbolic constants with many openGL wrapper objects, which makes patching much more fun

bugfixes

like always we have removed (and introduced) numerous bugs, so all in all GEM should now run more stable for an incomplete list of fixed bug see the bug-tracker at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem
