Installation

Release 1.1

- A memory leak was found in NetworkInfo class. This would affect anybody who is running TDK in threaded mode to watch for some of the wireless capabilities. The best way to diagnose this problem would be to monitor the number of handles in the task manager. If the number of handles keeps increasing, you need to download Release v1.1
- Removed some complexity within the API class. This should not affect any existing users.
- Changed the installer from installshiled to use microsoft installer. The earlier downloadable file had a .exe extension. Starting Release v1.1 it will use Microsoft Installer and hence would have a .msi extension.

Known Issues

The following are known issues as of the date of these release notes:

Reference No. | Title | Details
139 | GetCPUUtilization API specification causes reduction of frame rate. | If you press the "U" key in the Basic Physics sample app (in order to display CPU utilization) you will see a reduction in frame-rate. This should not be a big issue when used sparingly.
