1*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker# ANGLE Development Update - June 18, 2013
2*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
3*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThis week brings some significant changes to ANGLE, which we think are worth
4*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercovering in a development update.

6*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## Migration from svn to git
7*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
8*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerWe've changed our backing version control system from svn to git. Projects and
9*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercontributors pulling from the svn repository will continue to be able to do so,
10*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerbut please note that this repository is now read-only, and no further updates
11*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerwill be made there. To continue tracking new development and issue fixes, you'll
12*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerneed to watch the git repository. Instructions on checking out code from the git
13*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerrepository can be found on the [Source Checkout](https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/source/checkout) page.

15*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker## DirectX 11 Support
16*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
17*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerANGLE now provides both a DirectX 9 and a DirectX 11-backed renderer in the same
18*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercode base. By default, support for the DirectX 11 renderer is disabled, but it
19*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercan be enabled by toggling the value of ANGLE\_ENABLE\_D3D11 as described on the
20*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerDevSetup page. On systems without DirectX 11 support, ANGLE will fall back to
21*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerDirectX 9.
22*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
23*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThis work originally appeared in our dx11proto branch, which, with the move to
24*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthe new repository, has been promoted to master. Code previously located in the
25*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workertrunk of the svn repository will now be located in the git legacy branch, and
26*8975f5c5SAndroid Build Coastguard Workeractive development will now move to the newly promoted master.
