Plane9 versions

v2.2 [Feb 26, 2015]
Added
- Oculus Rift support! VR mode will treat background and foreground scenes as standalone.
- Added support for 150% and 200% resolutions for improved quality for the ones that have the GPU to spare.
- Run updates on a separate thread
- Preload some shaders to reduce scene switching latency
- Use Qt as main window manager
- ScreenNode: Added look at
- Change scene using space in windowed mode or right arrow in screensaver mode
- Use GLM for math
- Follow OpenGL and use right handed system with Z going out from screen
- Tell Nvidia Optimus to use the dedicated GPU
- 12 new scenes
- Added ability to start a playlist in VR or Windowed mode from the configuration screen
- Collect total and free GPU memory if we can
Changed
- SoundTexture: Increase quality by using 16 bit texture
- SoundTexture: Accumulate result for a better result
- Increased quality of the fast noise
- All screens were rendered for each monitor in a multi monitor setup.
- Memory leak on layered scene if moving to the same scene
- Large increase in quality of earth textures. Now requires at least 100Mb GPU memory to show just that scene
- Qt 5.4.0
- Last scene wasn't shown in the configuration screen
Removed
- Removed FreeImage library. Used Qt instead
- Removed clover and blobbies

v1.8 [Jul 31, 2011]
The new version has:
* 30 new scenes
* RenderToTexture has a ColorNext that contains the texture that will be reused in the next frame. Can be used for 'ping-pong' effects
* Shatter node
* Added font type to clock node
* Clock uses shader port for font shader
* TextWriter uses shader port for font shader
* Select a template when creating a new scene
* Strings delay port updates for 0.5s before updating the engine. Helps when quickly writing in large shaders
* FPS lock toggle
* CopyToTexture added effect ports to allow filtering during the copy
* Auto skip slow scenes after 5 seconds
* A scene now knows what other scenes it will fit well/not well with
# Much improved font rendering using distance fields
# numchars doesn't work in the textwriter expression
# Changed default font size to 1.0 Breaking change
# Clock/Textwriter color port has been renamed to color1 Breaking change
# Updated to Cg Feb 2011 Release
# Config: Monitors that didn't exists was shown on the render tab
