My favorites are:
I didn't know you can release an unstable version, though, I mean, wasn't already there? Peter Wang said: if you like, please send doodles to accompany future releases to me. May be a 3D doodle? and should make reference to W.I.P API isn't?

Thanks. Downloading. I'm looking forward to test the video addon.

Will there be Windows binaries available for those without the (ever growing) list of dependencies and CMAKE as 4.9.x had? I'm sure it would encourage more people to try and test it. Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

I think the only new dependencies are for the video addon - which probably should be left out of the Windows binaries anyway. Building the non-GPL version of ffmpeg can be quite an undertaking after all. -- |

The ffmpeg backend didn't work that well when I tested it, at least on higher resolution files. I didn't put any effort into fixing it because I'm hoping we can replace it with a Theora backend, with much simpler code.

Peter Wang said: I'm hoping we can replace it with a Theora backend, with much simpler code. Amen. At the other hand, Theora is really cool for: streaming or HD, I have test it and it's really awesome, very competitive, and if you use it right, you can have a lot of video in a few Mb's. Allegro 5 is already using the ogg container for audio, so I think there would be a cleaner code (and lighter binaries). Well... At leas that is what I think...

Quote: al_draw_tinted_scaled_rotated_bitmap_region Just about covers every permutation I can think of, and who needs the decorator pattern when you have C Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

AMCerasoli said: very competitive
It will take roughly twice as many bits. For a game it probably doesn't matter, but I wouldn't call it competitive in any way - it's about at the level of mpeg2 (which is ancient). However there's also webm which seems to be rather competitive, except supposedly it's just a massive patent infringing copy&paste job from H264 Still, personally, I'd use theora for all video right now since as I said for a game it shouldn't matter all that much. -- |

Well, when I said competitive, I meant that it's free, and it's almost like a patented video codec. It's not better than other non-free codecs like h.264, but I think comparing it with h.263 is too cruel(depends), besides if I try to sell a game with the h.264 codec I may get into trouble. So for that reson I said it was competitive, I guess I should have used other words, though. HoHoHo!! But I don't know... As far as I can use Theora, I don't care whatever you use guys. Thanks for all the work anyway!.

There will be binaries for Windows once I figure out how to weak link some new dependencies (Cg.dll and D3DX mostly). "God starts from scratch too" |

In this very case I mean dynamic linking. "God starts from scratch too" |
