---------------
The DirectX® Team is pleased to announce the release of DirectX 9.0
SDK Update (Summer 2004) - Beta 2. This Beta release contains the full
DirectX SDK which features the initial Beta release of the DirectX
9.0c developer runtime.
Areas of concentration in the DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004)
Beta release are:
HLSL support for Pixel Shader & Vertex Shader 3.0
Effects Framework performance improvements
Pre computed Radiance Transfer improvements
New Sample framework
New & Updated Samples (and removal of some crusty ones)
PIX tool for better debugging of Direct3D applications
As this beta release of the DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004), we
hope you will take the opportunity to install it, work with the new
features and provide feedback through BetaPlace. We look to you and
your feedback to help get the kinks out prior to the next beta
release.

Thanks,
DirectX Team
