What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· The webOS PDK public beta has ended, and the PDK has been integrated with the SDK.
· To upgrade from any previous SDK or PDK release, you must first manually uninstall the previous SDK/PDK.
PDK:
· webOS 1.4.5 contains the necessary features to support full-scale distribution of apps built with the webOS PDK.
· All developers are now allowed to submit PDK apps.
· Note, however, that distribution of "hybrid" apps (HTML/JS/CSS apps incorporating PDK-based plug-ins) is not yet supported in webOS 1.4.5.
· webOS 1.4.5 supports PDK apps for Pixi and Pixi Plus devices.
· Since there are some differences in OpenGL functionality supported between the Pre and Pixi, you should always test apps using OpenGL on both devices before submission.
· Due to hardware and driver differences, the performance of PDK apps on Pixi devices is generally not as good as on Pre devices. Some higher-end titles may not be suitable for Pixi.
New PDL APIs:
· PDL_CallJS ???Calls a JavaScript function from a Plug-in app.
