New in v1.10?

I've started trying out the BMX demo (v1.09) and it's all going great so far.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what's new/changed/fixed in v1.10? I know about the DirectX support, but is there anything else I should be aware of before I consider purchasing?

Okay, so maybe nothing has changed.

What if I ask some more direct questions:

In the docs it says that windowed mode isn't really supported but might be in the future - has this happened? I suspect it might have as I noticed another thread which talked about AppTitle (which is only really required for windowed mode), which isn't in v1.09

Is the DirectX support really a direct "no code changes required" replacement for OpenGL?

Is there (crosses-fingers) an XML module? Either official or otherwise.

I don't think so, AFAIK AppTitle$ is mainly there for requesters at the moment.

Yup!

Yup!

Hmm...Looks like Noel threw a hissy fit and pulled it!:o/
You could try e-mailing him?

Yup! (DirectX)

Cool!


Yup! (XML)

Well, I've just converted Blitzmax's Blitz3D XML stuff to some BMX classes anyway - works nicely :-)
