What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Port to Xbox (thanks Michael J. Wood!).
· Widget code can now use the AG_Redraw() interfaces to trigger rendering. The generic event loop uses this information to avoid unnecessary video updates -- custom event loops should be modified to test for the window "dirty" flag to take advantage of this feature.
· Fixed compilation with --disable-legacy option.
· Implemented AG_SurfaceFromPNG() and AG_SurfaceFromJPEG().
· Fixed crash bug in AG_SurfaceFromSDL(); thanks trapdoor!
· Added AG_SetJPEGQuality(), to set quality used by AG_SurfaceExportJPEG().
· Merge --enable-foodebug into --enable-objdebug; remove lockdebug.
· Upgrade build system to BSDBuild 2.8. Note that stale ./agar-config/ and ./agar-foo-config/ directories may break the build and should be removed before ./configure is executed.
· Fix deadlock condition with the AG_Timeout(3) interface when timers are scheduled in reverse order; thanks to Jakob Reschke for the fix!
· Fixed UTF8 conversion bug with 3-byte sequences; thanks Jerry Huang!
· Fixed coordinates offset for popup menus under single-window drivers.
· Numerous improvements to the API reference. Added AG_DriverGLX(3), AG_DriverWGL(3), AG_DriverSDLFB(3), AG_DriverSDLGL(3), AG_DriverMw(3) and AG_DriverSw(3), AG_InitGraphics() manual pages.
· Fixed crash bug with AG_TEXTBOX_STATIC and AG_EDITABLE_STATIC.
· Added "STRUCTURE DATA" section to AG_Window(3).
· Added missing SDL_LockSurface() calls in sdlfb/sdlgl drivers.
· AG_InitGraphics() can now accept driver initialization arguments.
· Avoid use of gettimeofday() on cygwin platform.
· MATH: Fix type conversion warnings.
· Implemented AG_DirDlg(3) directory selection widget.
· Implemented AG_Anim(3) interface.
· WGL: Terminate application by exiting the event loop instead of using exit().
· In AG_Scrollbar(3), implement AG_SCROLLBAR_AUTOHIDE option.
· Fix compilation issues under MinGW / MSYS (thanks Joergen!)
· WGL: Post a "window-gainfocus" event when a window is focused for the first time on creation.
