Actually I did try it out, and it worked with allegro.h haven't tried any of the addons. But the second question still remains.

Should work fine if you use DLL version.

* Fix many memory leak/warnings on MacOS X (Pär Arvidsson).

Hi-five! slaps

Going to have a look at this when I get home. Although those warnings never led to any bugs that I noticed, it's probably best that they're fixed.

Could someone explain to me why did they change this:

* Removed initial black frame on all Allegro programs.

There is now a quick white "blink" at program startup. IMO for game development default black startup backbuffer was a good idea.

If you imediately clear and then flip the display yourself, it should fix that. And now you can pick the colour yourself, or draw a bitmap (so long as the image loading doesn't take too long).

Thanks! That did the trick.

The problem was if you wanted the game to start with a title screen, then there was a black flash. Ideally the window would only appear at all on the first call to al_flip_display. (Probably by setting some "hidden" flag on window creation.) That way we could be sure the shown contents are what the user wants from the first frame on. If anyone wants to make a patch for it...
