Yes, they published the shaderx 5, as a Christmas surprise @_@?? Wow, seems we can get a new shaderx (also cost me so much money ++ ...... $ !!!) Every year. In this version, you can even find GPU programming chapters on mobile phones, OMG, what a revolution !!! Still reading the 3th and 4th ones, am I a little drop behind-_-B ??
