Carmenta Engine 5.0 Now Shipping

Product News   //   Monday, September 27, 2010

Carmenta today announced that Carmenta Engine 5.0, the new generation of Carmenta’s GIS toolkit, is now shipping. Carmenta Engine 5.0 takes advantage of the latest developments in hardware, OS and platform technologies by extensive support for hardware accelerated graphics, multi-core CPUs and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).

On top of the highly optimized native C++ kernel, users can either use the native C++ API or the WPF compatible .NET API. The new .NET API is designed to conform with .NET conventions to make it intuitive and straight forward for developers to use. The API calls are 2-3 times faster since the API now directly accesses the C++ kernel.

For comprehensive information about this new release, please read the Introducing Carmenta Engine 5.0 document.
