If you are an iOS developer make sure to check the latest Objective-C API release, which is now 100% ARC and provides several fixes as requested in the support board.

Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 API

20130920_windows8We are happy to announce the official support to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 starting from version 1.4 of the C# API we published today. The new API allows to build native applications and games for the two operating system (including Metro-style under Windows 8) and can also be used in Unity to publish 3D games targeted at those platforms. Get the new API on this page and the examples package here.

And speaking of updates, we also release a couple of minor versions of the HTML5 API and Objective-C API, available on the same page linked above. And inside the SFS2X doc site a vastly improved Java client API javadoc is now available.

SmartFoxServer 2X 2.7.0 and Analytics!

A new major update is available for SmartFoxServer 2X which introduces a new tool for comprehensive traffic analysis including visitors, demographics based on geolocation, client technology statistics and lots more. Additionally the release adds new server components to simplify the Login and Sign Up process, including detailed tutorials with source code.

NOTE: the new release comes as a full installer, if you’re updating a previous version make sure to follow the migration guide.

We then have the new versions of the C# API for Unity/.Net/Mono and the Java API for Android/Java2 SE. You can download everything from this page.

On the documentation side we have three brand new Objective-C tutorials (here) discussing the iOS examples we published some time ago, and a revised version of the First Person Shooter walk-through for Unity (here). Enjoy!

We just released a great new example project built using Flash Builder and targeting the iOS and Android devices: the Cannon Combat game is a simplified multiplayer version of the popular Angry Birds game featuring the Box2D physics engine. It is available for download as part of the Flash examples package on the SFS2X download page.

On the same page we also released the updated iOS examples package, containing the first two revised examples now compatible with the latest iOS API.

Last but not least, we published the first white paper discussing the SmartFoxServer 2X performance and scalability. It also shows the results of a series of tests that were performed in order to analyse the performance, stability and realiability of the SmartFoxServer 2X engine compared to other solutions adopted by our competitors.
