Changes from 5.0.5 to 5.0.6 (March 2012)
========================================

The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, Matthew Leverton,
Elias Pschernig, Paul Suntsov, Peter Wang.

Core:

- Added al_register_assert_handler.

Graphics:

- Added al_draw_tinted_scaled_rotated_bitmap_region.

- Added al_reset_clipping_rectangle convenience function.

- Added al_get_parent_bitmap.

- Fixed a bug in the OpenGL driver when drawing the backbuffer outside the
clipping rectangle of the target bitmap.

- Make blitting from backbuffer work when using multisampling on Windows/D3D.

Displays:

- Set ALLEGRO_MINIMIZED display flag on Windows (Zac Evans).

- Don't generate bogus resize events after restoring minimised window on
Windows.

- Fixed bug on Windows where two SWITCH_IN events were fired when window was
minimized/restored (Michael Swiger).

- Fixed inverted al_toggle_display_flag(ALLEGRO_NOFRAME) logic under Windows
as well as a bug where repeatedly setting the flag to on would make the
window grow bigger and bigger (Michael Swiger).

- Fixed inverted al_toggle_display_flag(ALLEGRO_NOFRAME) logic in X11.

- Prevent a deadlock during display creation on X.

- Fallback to the 'old' visual selection method on X instead of crashing
if the 'new' visual selection doesn't work.

Input:

- Use the same logic in set_mouse_xy for FULLSCREEN_WINDOW as was used for
FULLSCREEN. (Max OS X)

Filesystem:

- Added al_fopen_slice.

- Added al_set_exe_name which allows overriding Allegro's idea of the path
to the current executable.

- Make al_get_standard_path(ALLEGRO_TEMP_PATH) treat the value of TMPDIR
et al. as a directory name even without a trailing slash. (Unix)

- Make stdio al_fopen implementation set proper errno on failure.

Audio addons:

- Add mixer gain property and functions.

- Improve code to check that DLL symbols are loaded in the acodec addon.
The old method was hacky and broke under -O2 using GCC 4.6.1.

Image I/O addon:

- Improved accuracy of un-alpha-premultiplying in the native OSX bitmap
loader.

Primitives addon:

- Added al_draw_filled_pieslice and al_draw_pieslice.

- Added al_draw_elliptical_arc.

TTF addon:

- Added al_load_ttf_font_stretch functions (tobing).

- Added ALLEGRO_TTF_NO_AUTOHINT font loading flag to disable the Auto Hinter
which is enabled by default in newer version of FreeType (Michał Cichoń).

- Clear locked region so pixel borders aren't random garbage that can be seen
sometimes with linear filtering on.

- Unlock glyph cache page at end of text_length and get_text_dimensions
(jmasterx).

Examples:

- Added new examples: ex_audio_chain, ex_display_events, ex_file_slice.

- ex_ogre3d: Make it work under Windows (AMCerasoli).

- a5teroids: Support gamepads that report small non-zero values for sticks
that are at rest.

Other:

- Added index to HTML version of the reference manual (Jon Rafkind).

- Various documentation updates.

- Other minor bug fixes.

What's the timeframe for 5.2? Two important things there, proper iOS and Android support.

I'd like to get more Android work done before 5.2, but well, don't hold it up on my account. Two important things are likely to be sound, and apk/resource access (android provides an api to get access to the files inside the apk, an apk is just a zip, but the contents of the resource folder are never extracted, so you have to use the api, or a zip lib to access it). Also fleshing out filesystem stuff. I need to test it more.

Yeah but there should be no harm releasing it not 100% tuned. Not likely to be any deal breaker api changes so it can improve with each 5.2 release.

Well there might be breakage in the future. I've been thinking about dropping 1.6 support all together. Would simplify some stuff. Might even go so far as to not support anything older than 2.2 or even 2.3 (90%+ of all active android devices are 2.3 and above).

We told you to do that in the first place... But noooooooooo, you had to make it work on 1.6 devices... Stubborn as a mule reindeer. >:(

When I first planned things out, it was a good idea to support 1.6 ;) 20% or more of the market was still 1.6, and more if you counted 2.0-2.2. Now its probably not worth it.

Getting this error on OS X when trying to build:

Append: I played with the cmake options and found that if I set SHARED to ON I don't get this error. Not sure what is causing.

Also, getting all these errors when I run any A5 program now (on OS X):

Also, getting all these errors when I run any A5 program now (on OS X):

How did you compile Allegro? Which version of OSX and what kind of Mac? There's another thread about this but it doesn't happen for me so hard to debug - I'm trying to figure out how to reproduce. It's very easy to fix in any case, if you want you can just set a breakpoint to __NSAutoreleaseNoPool then create a pool before the line where gdb breaks and free it right afterwards.

I am using a Mac Mini with a Core 2 Duo and Snow Leopard (10.6.8).

I compile Allegro with the command line tools like so:

mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..
make

I am changing these options from the defaults from within ccmake before running 'make':

CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES          i386;ppc
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET      10.5
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT                /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
SHARED                           OFF
WANT_EMBED                       OFF
WANT_FLAC                        OFF
WANT_IMAGE_JPG                   OFF
WANT_NATIVE_IMAGE_LOADER         OFF

I don't think I have support for the 10.5 sdk or for ppc here. Maybe there is a way to install them. But 32 bit is common to the other thread and I can try building for that.

The compiling problem is something to do with C++. Doesn't really have anything to do with the architecture as I've tried every combination, including the default (x86_64).

Doesn't there need to be an extern "C" somewhere for C++ code to be able to access a C function? Looking into the code (include/platform/alosx.h):

#ifndef ALLEGRO_LIB_BUILD
   #ifndef ALLEGRO_NO_MAGIC_MAIN
      #define ALLEGRO_MAGIC_MAIN
      #if __GNUC__ >= 4
         #define main __attribute__ ((visibility("default"))) _al_mangled_main
      #else
         #define main _al_mangled_main
      #endif
      #ifdef __cplusplus
         extern "C" int _al_mangled_main(int, char **);
      #endif
   #endif
#endif

During the build process, al_mangled_main doesn't get properly externed so any C++ programs will not find that function. This would explain the build error.

Uh, extern "C" is there. What am I missing?

#ifndef ALLEGRO_LIB_BUILD

It's there, but it doesn't get declared during the build process.

Peter Wang

Okay. The patch that introduced the #ifndef ALLEGRO_LIB_BUILD is r14593 (r14600 on the 5.0 branch). It was included in Allegro 5.0.1.

Quote:

Fix for bug #3157005 Dynamic linker can't find _al_mangled_main with XCode4

The bug report and discussion is at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3157005&group_id=5665&atid=105665

I can't tell from the discussion why the ALLEGRO_LIB_BUILD bit was added.

I tried a 32-bit build with the 10.6 SDK but still everything works without warnings. I think now the problem must have to do with OSX 10.6. Some of our code which is not used under 10.7 which has no pool.

So at this point need someone who has OSX 10.6 and can run it in gdb, with a breakpoint set to __NSAutoreleaseNoPool. So basically type this:

gdb ./ex_draw_bitmaps
break __NSAutoreleaseNoPool
run

then when it stops type:

bt

and post the output.

Not sure if you wanted the latest allegro version.

Ok, so the problem seems to be in the if() starting here: https://github.com/elias-pschernig/allegro5/blob/master/src/macosx/osx_app_delegate.m#L279

But whether I replace if with if(1) or if(0) it always works without warning here (using the SVN version).

I think I see a pattern (but may be wrong). Everyone seeing the errors is running 10.6.x? I'm on 10.7 and don't see them in my programs.

What does "TDM" stand for at MinGW 4.6.1? :-/

Arvidsson

Is there any special reason for not having an NSAutoreleasePool in _al_osx_run_main()?

edit: I read the commit, and apparently this just hides the memory leaks. I don't understand exactly why though.
