SDK 1.14 is out.
Features:
-Bump mapping with specular highlights on any surface, with any lighting style.
-New collision system lets you control which objects collide with which. Use collision on any mesh (like Blitz3D).
-Fast built-in lightmapper.
-No more BuildWorld(). You can collapse brushes to meshes and set up collision any way you like.
-More stable than any version to date. I've run a lot of memory tests and loaded/deleted entire worlds in a loop. It's very good.
-30 pages of documentation in a CHM help file.
-Experimental dll support.
Here is an example program:
