This package contains UVAtlas, a shared source library for creating and packing an
isochart texture atlas.

The source is written for Visual Studio 2013, 2015, or 2017. It is recommended
that you make use of VS 2013 Update 5, VS 2015 Update 3, the latest VS 2017 update,
and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or later.

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>.

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 deleting /permissive- from the project files which is found
  in the <AdditionalOptions> element.
