Introduction
Asphyre 4.1 is the first step towards the shader approach in 3D since the initial fixed-function capabilities in Asphyre eXtreme. It provides the most comprehensive 2D support with hardware acceleration and includes core components for developing modern 3D games using shader technology.
This version is also the first to introduce snapshot scheme in Asphyre releases. Each published snapshot of Asphyre is considered a stable up to the moment; beta and experimental versions are marked as such, although rarely used.
