Deprecated | the Project Tool build system generator. See Build Systems to get started with the new CMake build system. |
Updated | the required Windows SDK version to Windows 10 SDK 10.0.20348.0. You might have to update Visual Studio and install the SDK via the Visual Studio installer app. |
Added | the ability to directly compile C and Objective-C code in projects when including files with the .c or .m extension. |
Fixed | a bug in the projectdefintion.txt file parsing that would cause invalid build systems when using white space characters after a line continuation backslash. The fix is currently only shipped with the extended C++ SDK, it will be included in the next major release of the sdk.zip shipped with Cinema 4D. |
Fixed | a bug in the core.framework where using the most recent versions of Visual Studio 2022 (ClangCL) and XCode 16 would would cause some project builds to fail, due to warnings for missing template arguments being raised to errors. You can now use the newest version of Visual Studio and XCode again. |
