v1.2.0

v1.2.0 (July 19, 2011)

World Wind’s first public formal release. It’s undergone significant testing and contains important documentation that was missing from the previous “pre-alpha” daily releases. It also initiates a portal — goworldwind.org — that gathers into one place all information relative to understanding and using World Wind and its API.

This release of World Wind operates on all platforms World Wind has historically supported: OS X, Windows 32 & 64, Linux 32 & 64. It is expected to work on Solaris but has not been tested on that platform.

There are very few platform-specific dependencies. The most significant one is the absence of BrowserBalloon availability on Linux. This will be corrected at some point. All other platform dependencies are related to specific problems, such as the existence of a bug on one platform but not another. The bug database describes all such known problems.

The release 1.2 webinar slides are available for download.
