Version 1.0.0 is now released. Here are excerpts from the ChangeLog:
1.0.0 July 27, 2005
[[ ]] can now be interpreted as rawblocks (RB).
Fixed bug where only one RB could occur in the same statement block area.
Fixed bug where dangling ';' in parameter list would cause a parsing error.
Fixed bug where two empty statements would cause a parsing error.
Handles break and continue keywords.
Added gtrace() for Gelato's trace() as opposed to RMan's trace call.
This saves the code duplication that would have occured by
using a RB.
Support for RMan illuminance send/recieve message passing.
0.9.1 February 17, 2005
Handles array initializers that are negative numbers:
float a[2] = {-1, -2}
0.9.0 January 01, 2005
Tries to handle cases like:
vector v = (0, 0, 0);
to
vector v = vector (0, 0, 0);
Gelato needs implicit cast.
Closer to releasing source code.
0.8.3 November 29, 2004
Handles internal void functions
Another "current" -> "common" case handled.
0.8.2 November 18, 2004
Fixed another case dealing with "current"->"common" space translation
vtransform ( "shader", "current", vhsl );
Before only the first paramter was being considered.
0.8.1 October 05, 2004
"current"->"commom" space translation missed case:
origin = point "current" (0, 0, 0);
0.8 September 23, 2004
Several minor fixes/changes
Will change "current" to "common" for transformation space changes.
illuminance(), illuminate() blocks will not longer cause a ';' to be emited if the argument list is empty.
The ?: triop has been changed. Even less cases, than what were allowed in 0.7, will be accepted by the parser. Consult the ReadMe.html for more details.
translator will allow for (int i = 0;...). You will need Gelato 1.1 or greater for the shader compiler to accept this.
Removed limitation of "yiq" as a color space. You will need Gelato 1.1 or greater for the shader compiler to accept this.
ReadMe.html has been updated. New sections include:
Caution with the ?: operator
Manual intervention with translating light shaders may be needed.
To get a copy go to the download directory. The distribution is open sourced. There is also a pre-compiled DSO that should work under various Linux platforms.
