Changes

The following page represents the changelog of the Tinman 3D SDK, up to the latest stable build (PREVIEW - V1.0 RC4.27 - 2024/10/31):

Changes regarding Reference - API and Reference - Scripting (i.e. added, removed, renamed, refactored items) between the previous release (RELEASE - V1.0 RC3 - 2017/10/06) and the latest stable build (PREVIEW - V1.0 RC4.27 - 2024/10/31) are documented here:

Change types
Breaking API / Scripting change

Existing code may need to be refactored to the new API with moderate effort. For example:

  • Use a different class model for an equivalent feature.

  • Use a factory method instead of a constructor.

  • Use a builder instead of a factory method.

Trivial API / Scripting change

Existing code may need to be adjusted slightly with trivial effort. For example:

  • Use a different identifier for a class, method or field.

  • Swap or re-order arguments of a method call.

No API / Scripting change

Existing code does not need to be updated. Binaries usually need to be recompiled.

Please contact support@tinman3d.com if you run into problems or difficulties while adapting to API changes after updating to a newer Tinman 3D SDK version.

Version Numbering

The major version number increases if a breaking API change is introduced by a release.

The minor version number increases as long as API compatibility with the previous release is retained.

A release candidate version - tagged RC1 through RC9 - represents a milestone towards its target version. On NuGet, release candidates are published as Prerelease versions.

Breaking API changes may be introduced by preview releases and release candidates.
Trivial API changes may be introduced by any SDK release.
