Dear X3D community,
the X3DOM team is pleased to announce stable release 1.6 of the X3DOM Library (x3dom.org<http://x3dom.org/>)!
With version 1.6, we hope to make X3DOM more flexible, stable and well-documented.
These are the most important changes:
* A completely new documentation portal, available via the link from www.x3dom.org and directly via doc.x3dom.org<http://doc.x3dom.org/>
* Extensive node API documentation resources, including detailed information about all nodes and fields
* A lot of great, new tutorials, along with a brand-new "Getting Started" guide
* A first version of the new x3dom examples portal, available at examples.x3dom.org<http://examples.x3dom.org/>
* All former examples from the x3dom repository can now be found at this central example page
* A fresh re-design of the examples page will be available in the near future
* Automated nightly testing suite for improved stability and qualitiy assurance, available at testing.x3dom.org<http://testing.x3dom.org/>
* Testing for Chrome and Firefox (Windows 8)
* Regression test suite, based on script result evaluation and explicit screenshot comparisons
* Automation and documentation (timeline) for testing process
* New DOM field interface for more efficient field access, using getFieldValue / setFieldValue and requestFieldRef / releaseFieldRef (documentation: doc.x3dom.org/author/index.html<http://doc.x3dom.org/author/index.html>)
* New onoutputchange event, for easy handling of ROUTE output in JavaScript
* can be installed on any node
* tutorial available at doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/onoutputchange/index.html<http://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/onoutputchange/index.html>
* Gamma-correct lighting by default
* Example and tutorial at doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/lighting/gamma/index.html<http://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/lighting/gamma/index.html>
* A new TURNTABLE mode for more intuitive user interaction
* Example and tutorial available at doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/navigation/index.html<http://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/navigation/index.html>
* First version of the pointingDeviceSensor component, including PlaneSensor, TouchSensor and CylinderSensor
* Example and tutorial available at doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/transformations/index.html<http://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/animationInteraction/transformations/index.html>
* First version of a new, long-lasting Shape Resource Container and ExternalGeometry node
* documentation of progress available www.x3dom.org/src/<http://www.x3dom.org/src/>
* will be enriched with new features for compression and streaming during development of X3DOM 2.0
* will replace ImageGeometry, BinaryGeometry and POPGeometry in X3DOM 2.0
* Instead of permanently linking to the dev version, from now on, we recommend to always use the latest stable release, which is available via the following links:
* xwww.x3dom.org/download/x3dom.js<http://x3dom.org/download/x3dom.js>
* www.x3dom.org/x3dom/release/x3dom.js<http://www.x3dom.org/x3dom/release/x3dom.js>
Thanks a lot for all your community support, and for using X3DOM for your 3D graphics applications on the Web!
Best Regards,
Max & the X3DOM core development team
