The S60 5th SDK was available since a few month in a beta "v0.9" version. Forum Nokia has just released an updated "v1.0" version which introduces support for new APIs (like the cool transition APIs), new examples and fixes a few bugs.
The S60 5th Edition SDK v1.0 enables application development using C++, Standard C/C++, JAVA and Web Runtime for devices based on the S60 Platform. The SDK is based on S60 5th Edition and Symbian OS 9.4. The SDK includes all key functionalities needed for application development excluding the
IDE (you'll need to download the Carbide.c++ IDE available freely from Forum Nokia).
One thing though, the SDK still doesn't support natively Windows Vista (a patch is provided with it but you need to execute manually). Is that so difficult to detect the Windows version on which the SDK is being installed and run the patch automatically ? Or to update the build script so that it works on Vista ?
It will be helpfull to test it on wine too, see you in dedicated forum : http://www.newlc.com/en/board-44
Transition effects eh... Well that one was a surprise.
I'm one of the guy who implemented those, and I had no idea they were going to put them public.
Though checking around now, seems Samsung already did in their 3.2 SDK.
Considering the limitations of it, and the lack of 3rd party documentation, I'm a bit curious to see how anyone will be able to use it without just messing things up...
And I wonder if they remembered to release enough API:s and transition definition IDs to actually make it usable by a 3rd party...
Just GfxTransEffect header file is not enough...
So...Olof - you want to post a tutorial on how to use the transition effecs API?
Pretty please
