... is released. Download. Quote:
Changes from 4.9.4 to 4.9.5 (October 2008) The core developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, Evert Glebbeek, Peter Hull, Graphics: - Added fullscreen support on Mac OS X. - Added support for resizable windows on Mac OS X. - Made frameless windows respond to events on Mac OS X. - Fixed a problem with D3D blending. - Made D3D driver work on systems without hardware vertex processing. - Made WGL driver fail more gracefully. - Implemented sprite flipping for OpenGL drivers (Steven Wallace). - Added al_is_sub_bitmap() function. Input: - Fixed input with multiple windows on Windows. - Fixed keyboard autorepeat events in X11. - Added al_is_keyboard_installed(). - Fixed key shifts on Windows (ported from 4.2). - Fixed mouse button reporting on Mac OS X. - Implemented system mouse cursors on MacOS X. - Fixed mouse cursors with alpha channels on X11. - Some work on Mac OS X joystick support (incomplete). Events: - Simplified internals of events system further. At the same time, Audio addons: - Made ALLEGRO_STREAM objects emit events for empty fragments that need - Added a possiblity to drain a stream created by al_stream_from_file(). - Added a function to rewind a stream. - Added gain support to ALLEGRO_STREAM and ALLEGRO_SAMPLE objects. - Made it possible to attach a sample to a mixer that isn't already attached - Fixed Ogg Vorbis loader on big-endian systems. - Made the OpenAL driver the least preferred driver, as it doesn't play Image addons: - Added JPEG support to iio addon, using libjpeg. - Fixed TGA loader on big-endian systems. - Fixed image loading in icodec addon. Font addon: - Fixed count-restricted text output functions calculations on non-ASCII - Made al_textout* functions always a 'count' parameter. - Renamed al_font_text_length* to al_font_text_width*. - Harmonised the order of al_font_textout* and al_font_textprintf* arguments. Examples: - Added ex_bitmap_flip example (Steven Wallace). - Added ex_mixer_chain example. - Split ex_events into smaller examples. - Made the demo use ALLEGRO_STREAM to play music. - Build an app bundle from the demo, on Mac OS X. Build system: - Improved detection of external dependencies in CMake build. - Guess compiler locations for MinGW and MSVC (CMake). - Many improvements to scons build, including install support. General: - Many other bug fixes.

Holy crap, wasn't there a release a few weeks ago? Who's doing all this work? |

At the same time, Does this now mean if you put your Logic and Drawing functions inside the Allegro timer event, and those force it to run slower than the speed of the timer (thus preventing all of the timer events from being eaten up) the event queue will fill up indefinitely causing massive memory 'leaks'?

Anyone know if it builds with msvc 9? |

Yes, including the quotes on the 'leaks'. I guess if you're worried about that you should try to detect if you're falling behind massively (e.g. compare the timestamp on the event you're processing with al_current_time()) and abort.

Or just not use that abortive timing method in the first place Anyway, great job A5 devs. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

Doesn't build with msvc 9 for me. I haven't looked into it, but here's the start of the error messages I get: Quote:

Sorry for that, it slipped. To make it compile you can remove the semicolon from each call to _AL_EVENT_HEADER macro in include/allegro5/events.h.

I counldn't get it installed. I've got Dev-Cpp 4.9.9.2 installed on a fully updated Windows XP. Here is cmake's error Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done Guessed MinGW directory: C:/Dev-Cpp Performing Test HAVE_DM_POSITION Performing Test HAVE_DM_POSITION - Failed CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:195 (message): Missing DM_POSITION. Please update your MinGWw32api package, delete CMakeCache.txt and try again. I downloaded the latest binary release from mingw and told cmake to use that compiler. Cmake said the compiler wouldn't pass a simple test. I'm a bit worn out from downloading and installing so many packages, I need a break and then I'll try again. |

Did you follow the instructions provided in that error message? It said to update just the w32api package. Get the absolute latest w32api package and extract it over your current compiler directory. -- |

What's the deal with providing an Xcode project, then claiming that it doesn't exist in the readme? [My site] [Tetrominoes] |

I got some strange errors too using mingw32 and cmake on WinXP Pro SP3. Edit: log output said:

cmake should have generated alplatf.h, if ti didn't likely there was an error. Looks like c++ is missing.

Well, I can ensure you that g++ is present. I got the full mingw32 package. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Quote: What's the deal with providing an Xcode project, then claiming that it doesn't exist in the readme? It's only a go-between while we didn't have a proper build solution for Macs. It will probably be deleted soon. Instead, you can use cmake to generate an Xcode project. The difference is cmake will detect external dependencies on your system.

Still doesn't build with msvc 9, linking errors now. I'll try again when the next release is ready. |

Quote: Fixed Try to be constructive. If cmake is for some reason not working properly on your system, it likely has something to do with your system (because it does work for others). Doesn't mean we shouldn't get it fixed. Did you check if you have the latest version of CMake? Quote: What's the deal with providing an Xcode project, then claiming that it doesn't exist in the readme? Does it even work properly? I couldn't build Allegro [4.9] at all on my Mac until CMake worked there (ok, so I probably have some dependencies installed in odd places).

We have a better chance of fixing said linking errors if you tell us what they are. |

I using mac osx 10.4, With it's default Xcode gcc compiler, and I'm trying to compile Allegro 4.9.5 with the newest version of scons (because I get more errors with Cmake) It only detects the library png and library jpeg add-on things at the top (makes scene, since I only have those two) It compiles alright but has a linker end when it's trying to link together liballeg-4.9.5.dylib
Am I missing OpenGL or something? p.s. If this is the wrong place to post this, sorry.

I've never tried Scons, but I can tell you that it works for me with CMake on essentially the same system. (Aside: it might be useful if the developers can post what systems we have all used to test and compile Allegro, so that people know what has been tested/should work? It will likely help in finding and fixing bugs). Quote: Am I missing OpenGL or something? No, I don't think so. It looks like it's not passing proper compiler switches to libtool, but I have no idea. Quote: p.s. If this is the wrong place to post this, sorry. This is exactly the right place to post this. |

I'll get around to fixing the linker errors some day, but if you'd like to help out you could hack the scons files to add in the proper linking lines. It probably involves seeing how xcode does things. |

Quote: What's the deal with providing an Xcode project, then claiming that it doesn't exist in the readme? Does it even work properly? After I manually removed all the OGG links and commented out the definition of ALLEGRO_CFG_ACODEC_VORBIS in aintern_acodec_cfg.h it built libAllegro-4.9.a and ex_bitmap. I had to manually shuffle files around to test that ex_bitmap worked since the project build a UNIX-style executable (YUCK!) and puts it where it cann't find Mysha. My natural assumption with anything like this is that I'm probably doing it incorrectly. It's obviously really hard to tell when there is no documentation (well, other than "We provide two build systems, CMake and scons."). Oh yeah, 36 unused variables warnings, by the way.
