Elements Interactive B.V. announces version of 3.30 of EDGELIB, the next upcoming release of its multi-platform mobile game engine technology. This new version adds threaded Bluetooth search and XML parsing to the feature list.
Already present for Symbian, EDGELIB 3.30 adds Bluetooth searching using a thread for Windows Mobile devices and Windows desktop. The addition of threaded search improves the responsiveness of the application while searching for a nearby Bluetooth device to connect to.
EDGELIB 3.30 also introduces a native XML parser for processing documents formatted with the open standard Extensible Markup Language. An additional class on top of the XML parser handles XML-RPC requests enabling EDGELIB to process webservice calls.
EDGELIB 3.30 also introduces support for the first version of EDGELIB's native E3D 3D file format, an extensible, chunk-based binary format for storing 3D models, specially for mobile devices. A tool to convert popular 3D models to the E3D format will be made available too.
Other improvements include the addition of string and data array classes, bugfixes for display and orientation handling and the complete renewal of the internal network classes. A few issues will be fixed to improve stability.
The release of EDGELIB SDK 3.30 is scheduled for late November 2007.
