• The ZFX community has released the version 0.3.0 of the ZFXCE. The archive can be downloaded at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=126592&package_id=138612 .

• In the modules section first UML diagrams can be found as a documentation on the architecture. Additionally a quick-start guide on the ZFXCE can be found in the tutorial section.

• After a long time there has been new development on the ZFXCE: We do now use a scons buildscript to build the engine. The whole directory structure has been cleaned up, the testing part tests more and more engine modules and submodules. Additionally we sorted things out and removed many outdated implementations. Next release is scheduled for the end of 2007, up to then we want the following features to be done:

- 3DS-Loader (Kimmi)
- meshviewer (???)
- textscenenode (Kimmi)
- possibly first keyframe animations (???)
- improved scripting (Salacryl)

• A light scenenode has been introduced in the ZFXCE. Currently though only simple point lights are supported.

• The ZFXCE has been used for a study on particle systems for wind an rain simulation (student research project of Nicolas Köhn). Details can be found at http://www.hki.uni-koeln.de/studium/SII/HAUSARBEIT_NiklasKoehn_3DProg.pdf .

• There now exists a patch-ML where experimental work on the ZFXCE can be discussed. (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=595191)

• We now have started an english helper forum to offer help to non german speakers. (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=595191)

• The sourcecode is now managed through the Sourceforge Subversion server. Details can be found on the Sourceforge project page (http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=126592).

• The logging tutoral (german) is done: http://zfxce.sourceforge.net/index.php/Tutorial:Logging#Beispiel .

• We now provide precompiled binaries as setup for Windows, including the sourcecode of course. Also the zip file of version 0.1.0 has been fixed with a new VC 2005 workspace.

• Since the wiki has been abused by people trying to place ads, some user accounts have been deleted.

• The basic steps of loading a Quake3 level can be found in the 2nd tutorial on usage of the engine. The tutorial covers loading and creating a scenenode, to present the level using a scenegraph.
