This is the first release in some time now of the Ivf++ library. This version comes with a revised build system (CMake/Python), new examples and binary installs for windows for both dependencies and library.

Some minor bugfixes in the source. Added missing .opt files in the WIN32 release. Examples now work without changes.

Python based GUI for configuring ivfconfig. Libtools issues fixed (invalid file extensions on libraries linux).

This release is a major overhaul of the Ivf++ library, including a new event model, support for MFC and native WIN32 applications and an application template generator for linux users.

I have put a early beta of version 0.9.x on the web-page. This version has the following features:

• Support for native Win32 application. No FLTK.
• Assignable events.
• Support for Stereo.
• Renewed support for MFC applications. (On popular demand).

In the 0.9.b1 release only the visual studio workspace is updated. Updated automake version is on its way.

Ivf++ is a small class library encapsulating OpenGL functionality. It comes with ~10 tutorials and a user's guide. See homepage for latest news and updates.

Support for viewports using the CIvfViewport class. getWorkspace() added to CIvfWorspaceWidget.
Win32: DLL-version will now build. Minor bugfixes

New documentation release 0.8.1

After a lot of work a preview version of the Ivf++ User's guide is available on the Ivf++ homepage. A PDF version and an online HTML version is available.

This is a major release of the Ivf++ library. Some highlights: Smartpointers, OpenGL state management using C++ singletons, initial support for vertex arrays and TGA and BMP image loading thanks to John Aspras. Please read the README and INSTALL files before building it.

Hopefully the final bet version of Ivf++ 0.8 is now available with updated documentation. The user's guide will be available soon. More details on:

Beta version of the upcoming 0.8.0 version released. For the latest news and updates please see the homepage.

The Ivf-0.6.6 has been released in favor of the Ivf-0.6.4, due to the fact that a large number of updates to the core library has been made since the ivf-0.6.4b release. The following are a few of the updates:

Implements a simple matrix/vector library ivfmath.

Image loading is separated from the core ivf library. An IvfTexture is assigned an image using a IvfImage derived class. Special image loaders (Currently only SGI images) are located in the ivfimage library.... read more

The library now features

• The library now uses prefixed includes. (Sorry...)
• Library can now be built as DLL:s under Windows.
• Initial support for manipulators, see fltk1 example.
• Initial scene-graph culling.
• Support for using the library with the Microsoft MFC library
• Test drive of Ivf++ autoconf/automake system.
• Documentation will be released separately.

The next step of development of Ivf++ is on the way. 0.7.0 will feature scene graph culling, Manipulators and enhanced widgets. A MFC view will also be provided. Release is set for mid september.

The 0.6.2 release includes bugfixes, font rendering using GLTT/Freetype, more examples, Win32 DLL library.

Hopefully the project will be updated more frequently in the future. It will also be put under CVS control at sourceforge in the near future.
