   @Ricardo1980: The shaderTest is just an example of what you can do with shaders. Take into account that that some shaders are pretty expensive (GPU-wise), so don't abuse the "power" shaders since they can be pretty slow on the devices, specially the fragment shaders.

   W00T!!! Congratulations and thank you for your hard work on Cocos2D!
   Can't wait to try 2.x, when i'll have time, or at least see some cool games, made with 2.x branch.

   At least I find time to migrate. But... on my iPad (1st gen) frame rate dropped to 22FPS from 60FPS that I got using 1.0.1.

   Has anyone had any problems running "install-templates.sh" in the 2.0 version? I'm getting "permission denied" errors all over the place. I'm not a big command-line/shell guy, so I'm not sure what the problem is, but I did notice that there's a double-slash in many of the paths being output:

   
rm: /Users/mike/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/cocos2d//lib_cocos2d.xctemplate/libs/cocos2d/CCTextureCache.h: Permission denied
rm: /Users/mike/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/cocos2d//lib_cocos2d.xctemplate/libs/cocos2d/CCTextureCache.m: Permission denied


   I have no idea if the double slashes make a difference. I've run "install-templates.sh" many times for 1.x versions, but never encountered this. Any clues?

   You probably ran the old installer script using sudo when you installed them locally. So now you have files owned by root in your ~/Library directory. Delete or move the old templates then run the script.

   @ZeM: Make sure that you enable CC_ENABLE_GL_STATE_CACHE in ccConfig.h

   eg:
   

   #define CC_ENABLE_GL_STATE_CACHE 1

   2 Mant, I had the same issue. Just change permissions (grant write one) for folder /Users/mike/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates (right click in finder on "Templates" folder -> Get Info -> permissions section)

    Yes, I enable that flag. It didn't help me.

    @ZeM: If possible, could you create a ticket attaching a test case and/or code that reproduces the slowness issue on cocos2d 2.x ? Thanks.

    Try deleting the Templates directory (assuming there are only the cocos2d templates in there) and reinstall using

    ./install-templates.sh -u -f

    @riq, as soon as I'll have a time to localize this issue. Maybe tomorrow, currently it's a late hour in my time zone :)

    I look forward to the weekend when I can play with the tests. I'm sure I will learn a lot. I'm curious about two things in particular in the release notes:

    **[NEW] Director: Orientations are no longer supported. Only Portrait mode is supported. Use a ViewController to rotate the EAGL view.

    and
    PhysicSprite.
    Sounds useful.

    @tetraweb:
    Director orientation-mode is no longer supported. If you want to code a game in landscape mode, attach a RootViewController (the templates already do that for you)

    PhysicSprite: New way to link cocos2d & chipmunk/box2d. Easier & faster.

    Thank you, Riq. I'm sure I am not alone in being thankful that Zynga has not taken all your time.
