DirectXTK - the DirectX Tool Kit for DirectX 11
-----------------------------------------------

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

July 3, 2018

This package contains the "DirectX Tool Kit", a collection of helper classes for 
writing Direct3D 11 C++ code for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps for Windows 10,
Windows Store apps, Windows phone 8.1 applications, Xbox One exclusive apps,
Windows 8.x Win32 desktop applications, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 applications, and
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Direct3D 11.0 applications.

This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or Visual Studio 2017.
It is recommended that you make use of VS 2015 Update 3, Windows Tools 1.4.1, and the
Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK (14393) or VS 2017 (15.7 update) or later with the
Windows 10 April 2018 Update SDK (17134).

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the DirectX SDK. For details,
see "Where is the DirectX SDK?" <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee663275.aspx>.

Note: Xbox One exclusive apps developers using the Xbox One XDK need to generate the
      Src\Shaders\Compiled\XboxOne*.inc files to build the library as they are not
      included in the distribution package. They are built by running the script
      in Src\Shaders - "CompileShaders xbox", and should be generated with the matching
      FXC compiler from the Xbox One XDK. While they will continue to work if outdated,
      a mismatch will cause runtime compilation overhead that would otherwise be avoided.

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the

RELEASE NOTES
-------------

* The VS 2017 projects make use of /permissive- for improved C++ standard conformance. Use of a Windows 10 SDK prior to
  the Fall Creators Update (16299) or an Xbox One XDK prior to June 2017 QFE 4 may result in failures due to problems
  with the system headers. You can work around these by disabling this switch in the project files which is found
  in the <ConformanceMode> elements.

* The VS 2017 projects require the 15.5 update or later. For UWP and Win32 classic desktop projects with the 15.5
  or 15.6 updates, you need to install the standalone Windows 10 SDK (17134) which is otherwise included in
  the 15.7 update. Older VS 2017 updates will fail to load the projects due to use of the <ConformanceMode> element.
  If using the 15.5 or 15.6 updates, you will see "warning D9002: ignoring unknown option '/Zc:__cplusplus'" because
  this switch isn't supported until 15.7. It is safe to ignore this warning, or you can edit the project files
  <AdditionalOptions> elements.
