Platinum 0.3.0.0 Released!

Posted on October 28, 2006

Today I published the latest and greatest of the Platinum SDK. Among a bunch of fixes and improvements, the main cool new thing is full support for Mac OSX (and Linux obviously) thanks to the little Mac mini I bought K. a couple years ago. So the SDK is now available for Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, XBox, PSP. I am also working on some linux-based embedded platforms (gp2x, chumby, …).
Here’s the changelog I put together:

Platinum 0.3.0.0
—————
Fixes/Changes:
– Added MacOSX support.
– Fixed socket abortion problem on Linux (using a pipe).
– Complete rewrite to use threads instead of interrupt driven round-robin. The benefit is that throughput is now greatly improved (for streaming especially).
– Addded a new App: MediaCrawler
– Split up AV MediaServer code. Now the FileMediaServer is one implementation of the AV MediaServer. More to follow.
– Added README, CHANGELOG, LICENSE files

Known issues:
– AV MediaServer Search not implemented yet.
– Http server does not use a thread pool. This can be a problem with hungry ControlPoints like the Intel Tools AV MediaController.
