UPDATE 8th of July 2010 : 0.8.8.7 is out - read more here.Finally after a couple of months of hard work and polishing the code, API and performance, version 0.8.8.6 ofBalderis out. A SampleBrowser can be found here for viewing most of the features ofBalder. The features that has changed or is new are as follows:
* Introduced Silverlight in Core, but still maintaining platform independence - Using core objects directly in Xaml can now be done
* Removed all controls in Balder.Core.Silverlight.Controls - not needed anymore
* Introduced View namespace with IView interface and Camera implementing it
* Viewport has View property insted of Camera
* Moved rendering from a multithread environment to run synchronously on the CompositionTarget. It gives better performance, due to synchronization issues between all threads. Will be revisited in the future.* New drawing routines, optimized
* Heightmap primitive
* Box primitive
* Rotation, Scale on nodes
* Cylinder primitive
* DebugLevel is known as DebugInfo
* Material system in place
* Support for ReflectionMapping on materials
