FRAPS 2.9.0 RELEASE NOTES
-------------------------

The latest Fraps release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10
games. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are
happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now
all fully supported for these titles.

Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. Fraps can take
advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine
without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. This allows you
to capture ingame audio even if you are using a USB headset or other
audio device which does not normally support a "Stereo Mix" or "What U
Hear" recording input.

Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX
we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. You
can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like
any other game or 3D application.


---------
CHANGELOG
---------

- Added suport for DirectX 10
- Added option to monitor Desktop Window Manager under Vista
- Added Direct Stream sound recording for Vista
- Fixed screen tearing in video captured from DX9 games
- Fixed G15 LCD output running fast on Vista machines
- Improved resource sharing with multithreaded games

The new version of FRAPS works great. Now if only more games would come out in DX10 (and widescreen would be nice, too.)

I'm still not impressed with that game.. perhaps crysis will change my mind, but until then, I fail to see any benefit of DX10 over DX9c, just a lot of "theoretical" gains, which in reality are never anywhere near as drastically notable.
