Minor breaking changes
Point
The Point class has been changed to follow the new naming scheme used in Carmenta Engine 5 and this has introduced the following semantic changes that will not be caught at compile time:
Carmenta Engine 4.x | New name in Carmenta Engine 5 |
|---|---|
Point.Length calculates the 3D length of a vector. | |
Point.Length2 calculates the 2D length of a vector. | |
Point.Normalize normalizes the x, y and z-coordinates of a vector. | |
Point.Normalize2 normalizes the x and y-coordinates of a vector. |
Specifying dataset cache size
Specifying the cache size property on a dataset has changed. In Carmenta Engine 4.x the cache size was specified in bytes; in Carmenta Engine 5 it is specified in MB.
This will be handled automatically when configuration files are migrated using Carmenta Studio, but if the size is specified in code, it will not generate any build errors. Instead it will render the new global cache mechanism useless, and performance will suffer.
