The DirectX® Team is pleased to announce the release of DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004) - Beta 2. This Beta release contains the full DirectX SDK which features the initial Beta release of the DirectX 9.0c developer runtime.

Areas of concentration in the DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004) Beta release are:

HLSL support for Pixel Shader & Vertex Shader 3.0

Pre computed Radiance Transfer improvements
New Sample framework
New & Updated Samples (and removal of some crusty ones)
