Re: [AD] 3D math routines removed from 5.x?

[Kai Yu <niels.henric.abel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think 3D math routines and quaternion routines are essential for 3D games even it ended up with DX or OpenGL and the way they fit in the 4.x API seemed quite good. It is really a surprise to me that they would be dropped in the 5.x API. Is there any thread / article to explain the reason?

Yes, the 3D routines were not brought over to Allegro 5. For the most
part, if you're going to use 3D stuff, you would use Direct3D or
OpenGL directly anyway.
