Asphyre Sphinx 3.0.0 has been released.

[LP]

As the title says, Asphyre Sphinx has been updated to version 3.0.1.

In this update, DirectX 11 support has been added, which uses advanced fallback mechanisms for lower feature levels such as Direct3D 10.1, Direct3D 10.0 and even legacy Direct3D 9, in addition to Windows WARP highly optimized software device. This means that Asphyre powered applications using DirectX 11 will run on any system where DirectX 11 is installed no matter whether it has hardware support or not. This provider works with Embarcadero Delphi (either XE 2+ or any version from 2007 and upwards) and FreePascal/Lazarus. No external DLLs are required for this provider to work.

Also, 3D features that were available in earlier releases are now part of Asphyre Sphinx 3 too.

For more information and download links, you can visit official Asphyre Sphinx 3 web page. Alternatively, you can update your repository from the trunk.

Hi Lifepower, I get the following error when trying to compile the examples. Using Delphi 2010.

[DCC Error] MediaUtils.pas(319): E2254 Overloaded procedure 'ParseFloat' must be marked with the 'overload' directive
[DCC Error] MediaUtils.pas(121): E2065 Unsatisfied forward or external declaration: 'ParseFloat'
[DCC Fatal Error] AsphyreImages.pas(400): F2063 Could not compile used unit 'MediaUtils.pas'

Any ideas?

Wizard, unless you have conflict with some older Asphyre package, it seems more like a compiler bug, as you can see that the mentioned procedure does have "overload" flag. Could you try to comment one of these functions and remove "overload" parameter?

The package was tested in Delphi 2007 and XE 2, so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with Delphi 2010.

By the way, Asphyre Sphinx 3 works with Delphi XE 3.

Also, I've ported some lousy software rasterizer for Asphyre Sphinx 3, for those who want some fun with it.
