============================== - Added FXAA option for AA - Added 30 FPS limit toggle - Greatly improved SSAO depth usage, removed thickness model hack
29-09-2012 -- version 1.7 beta
============================== - Re-implemented the FPS limiter. It's quite exact now and also performed at a better point in time (before presenting the frame) - Made frame period calculation (for animation) slightly more exact - Added FPS thresholding for SMAA
29-09-2012 -- version 1.6.1 beta
================================ - Fixed sporadic graphics issues introduced in 1.6 - Fixed modified HUD issues with very long spell names - Fixed modified HUD issues with "POISONED"/"BLOOD LOSS" text
29-09-2012 -- version 1.6 beta

(look into the .ini for details) - Fixed the SMAA issue introduced in 1.5 (with edges touching the skybox) - Fixed the HUD issues with damage numbers and subtitles (other issues remain) - Various small performance tweaks 22-09-2012 -- version 1.5 beta ============================== Bugfixes: - fixed issue with SSAO being rendered on top of particle effects/fog/water, instead of below them - improved method of determining when to apply SMAA/SSAO, better renderstate management (may fix random display corruption issue) - tweaked SSAO a bit New features: - Can load .dds texture overrides in addition to .png - Can set the desired target FPS of the game in the .ini, thanks to Cl�ment Barnier! (This now also works correctly together with the intro skip feature)

============================== Bugfixes: - SSAO depth buffer inaccuracy fixed. Removes line artifacts from SSAO - further renderpipeline state restoration after SMAA and checks whether we are at the correct stage - fixed windows scaling issue when toggling between borderless windowed fullscreen and windowed mode New features: - SSAO now configurable in .ini - Optional high-quality DoF blur - HUD on/off toggle as bindable key action

01-09-2012 -- version 0.8 alpha
=============================== - DSfix is now a Direct Input wrapper instead of a d3d9.dll wrapper this was done to fix the optimus issue, and it should also allow people to use other wrappers for postprocessing effects - there is a new setting "dinput8dllWrapper" which allows you to use additional DirectInput wrappers on top of DSfix should you so desire - the way logging was handled when disabled has been improved, so you could see slightly improved performance in CPU limited situations with "logLevel 0" (the default)
