To achieve this, when developing a new version of Windows, Microsoft sometimes had to implement workarounds to allow compatibility with third-party software that used the previous version's API in an undocumented or even ( programmatically ) illegal way.

Almost every new version of Microsoft Windows has introduced its own additions and changes to the Windows API.

As of DirectX version 8. 0, DirectDraw was merged into a new package called DirectX Graphics, which is really just Direct3D with a few DirectDraw API additions.

They were extremely awkward to program, however, hindering adoption of the new API and stimulating calls for Microsoft to adopt OpenGL as the official 3D rendering API for games as well as workstation applications.

Feature levels allow developers to unify the rendering pipeline under Direct3D 11 API and make use of API improvements such as better resource management and multithreading even on entry-level cards, though advanced features such as new shader models and rendering stages will only be exposed on up-level hardware.

In the end, persistence has been " broken out " of " EJB3 Core ", and a new standard formed, the Java Persistence API ( JPA ).

They proposed that a modified version be used as a single API on top of either OpenGL or a new high-performance low-level API that Microsoft was known to be working on ( not based on Reality Lab ).

The objective of Parlay / OSA is to provide an API that is independent of the underlying networking technology and of the programming technology used to create new services.

Although the new specification differed substantially from Winsock 1, it provided source-and binary-level compatibility with the Winsock 1. 1 API.

After the original version of AMOS, Europress released two other versions: Easy AMOS, a simpler version for beginners, and AMOS Professional, a more advanced version with added features, such as a better IDE, ARexx support, a new UI sublanguage and new flow control constructs.

The reverse is forward compatibility, which implies that old devices allow ( or are expected to allow ) data formats generated by new ( or future ) devices, perhaps without supporting all new features.

Each major release cycle has introduced a single new major feature generally layering on top of the earlier features to add functionality to the product.

General category theory, an extension of universal algebra having many new features allowing for semantic flexibility and higher-order logic, came later ; it is now applied throughout mathematics.

In 1985, ANSI published still another revised version that had new features not in the 1974 standard, most notably structured language constructs (" scope terminators "), including,,, etc.

The advance from id Software's previous game Wolfenstein 3D was enabled by several new features in the Doom engine:

This was the case with the overseas versions of Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Rogue Galaxy, which contained additional features ( such as new difficulty settings for Metal Gear Solid ), resulting in re-released versions of those respective games in Japan ( Final Fantasy VII International, Metal Gear Solid: Integral and Rogue Galaxy: Director's Cut ).

It features mostly new material, plus re-recordings of four very obscure Devo songs: " I Need A Chick " and " I Been Refused " ( from Hardcore Devo: Volume Two ), " Find Out " ( which appeared on the single and EP of " Peek-A-Boo " in 1982 ), and " Beehive " ( which was recorded by the band in 1974, at which point it was apparently abandoned with the exception of one appearance at a special show in 2001 ).

This new revision to PS2. 0 increased the maximum number of instructions and registers available to pixel shader programs.

Geometry shaders are a relatively new type of shader, introduced in Direct3D 10 and OpenGL 3. 2 ; formerly available in OpenGL 2. 0 + with the use of extensions.

This type of shader can generate new graphics primitives, such as points, lines, and triangles, from those primitives that were sent to the beginning of the graphics pipeline.
