<p>Release Notes (2014-10-29)</p>
<h2 class="title">General Information</h2>
<p>Small release fixing two issues:</p>
<p>This <strong>2.6.3 version</strong> is a maintenance version of legacy APIs (Direct3D1, Direct2D...etc.), some new features and several issues fixed.</p>
<p>This should be the last 2.6.x version, as the next version (3.0) SharpDX will go on a diet and will focus to provide DirectX core assemblies. Things that will change in this next version:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix an access violation exception occuring on WP8/WP81 when using the Toolkit</li>
<li>Fix nuget package/target to allow install SharpDX into a UniversalApps package</li>
<li><strong>All maths struct/helpers (Vector4, Vector3...etc.) will be moved to a separate <code>SharpDX.Mathematics</code> assembly</strong>. SharpDX DirectX assemblies won't use anymore these types directly but will use only simplified structs for marshalling.</li>
<li><strong>The Toolkit will be deprecated</strong> and moved to a separate SharpDX repository. We recommend you to switch to <a href="http://paradox3d.net" target="_blank">Paradox</a> or <a href="http://sharpdx.org/about/related">other alternatives</a>.</li>
</ul>
Best regards,<br/>
The SharpDX team
</p>
<p><strong>SharpDX is also being updated to latest DirectX12</strong> and should hopefully be available when DirectX12 SDK is released for developers.</p>
<p><strong>Concerning support for Xbox One</strong>, we don't have any news, until Microsoft <a href="http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/4233646-allow-net-games-on-xbox-one" target="_blank">allows .NET on Xbox One</a> (Please keep voting for it, as it seems to be pending!)</p>
<p>This release is integrating several patches and contribution made by the community on github. Thanks to all of them!</p>
<p>Best regards,<br/>
The SharpDX team</p>
<h2 class="title">Changes and bugfixes</h2>

There are much more features in Paradox than in the Toolkit. Though there are maybe a couple of little details that are not yet streamlined (like mulitple windows), but this should be fixable.

Note that the Toolkit will still be accessible and you will still be able to fork and fix it. But we won't provide anymore fixes/features to it. It will also no longer be part of the SharpDX official distrib.
