We just released a new Photon Server SDK v1.6.0 and the first two Client SDKs. Look out for these goodies:
Low-level, we added fragmentation for bigger data chunks and channels to organize operation sequencing. High-level, we added properties to rooms and players: Photon can now remember arbitrary data about players or games. Never again players need to update joining newcomers about the running map or other stats. Simply set and check properties.
Photon Control makes an appearance in the server SDK. Forget the .cmd-files and console-style starting of Photon! Run PhotonControl.exe and check out your windows tray. If you like it, make it autostart. On Vista and Windows 7, this tool might need to be elevated, to get the list of processes running.
And we are not done yet: Silverlight has it’s own Client SDK now, too. The “Policy” application in the Server SDK makes sure that the client gets access to your server.
Try it. The trial is refreshed, too!
