In the late summer of 2014, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 would be rolled out to PC users around the world in the following year. At the same time, it also revealed that the new operating system would be home to another major software release: DirectX 12. It's been a decade since both were officially released, but while Windows 10 has been shuffled off into the realms of 'end of life' support, DirectX 12 has grown to become the most comprehensive collection of graphics APIs ever created.
To celebrate this fact, Microsoft has published a short blog detailing some of the major improvements and upgrades that DirectX 12 has enjoyed over the years. For some folks, especially those who have been involved with PCs for as long as I have, it will only seem like yesterday when the new API was let loose.
