   Hi,

   cocos2d v0.99.4-beta is available for download:
   http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/downloads/detail?name=cocos2d-iphone-0.99.4-beta.tar.gz

   Release Notes:
   - Not available yet... probably tomorrow I'll write it

   Highlights:
   - New CocosDenshion with newer and more complete samples
   - Supports iPhone4 (High-res). Added new way to initialize the Director.
   - Particles: supports Particle Designer 1.2 & fixes
   - Performance: increases a little bit the performance due to CCArray

   Compatibility:
   Many CCDirector methods were deprecated.
   Basically there are 3 ways to initialize the director:
   a) By using Interface Builder (see tests/EAGLViewTest.m`)
   b) manually (the new way), or by calling the CC_DIRECTOR_INIT() macro which basically creates the director "manually"
   c) manually (the old way)... which is deprecated and will be removed in v1.0

   a) and b)

   Full ChangeLog:
   http://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone/blob/release-0.99.4-beta/CHANGELOG

   Who should use it ?
   I think this release is pretty stable, but it is called "beta" and not "release candidate" because I might modify the director's API again.
   So, if you want to play with high-res iPhone and or play with the new CocosDenshion, then I suggest trying this version.

   Thanks and Hi,

   I see the orientation detection issue is marked for this release, did it make it in?

   I've tried the new template but don't see anything obvious - tried adding a UIViewController but also dont see much difference from
   previous release.

   Thanks,
   Chris

   In order to have a high-res version ready as soon as possible v0.99.4 was splited in two: 0.99.4 and 0.99.5. So some of the features planned for v0.99.4 will be added in v0.99.5

   @petrusali did you added CocosDenshion tests to the project? If so, you should remove them.

    Updated API ref:

    Pay special attention to the "Director" samples mentioned on the Release Notes. They show how to create an EAGLView correctly.
