First release of the Allegro in the new year! Hopefully not too many more of these before the next stable release. Get the source packages here. Get the MinGW binaries here. Get the corresponding dependency MinGW binaries here. Get the MSVC binaries from NuGet (now with MSVC 2013 support!). Ubuntu and homebrew binaries will be done in the coming days! EDIT: Ubuntu packages are now done. Changes from 5.1.12 to 5.1.13 (January 2016)The main developers this time were: Julian Smythe, Elias Pschernig and Peter Hull. Graphics

Nice to hear 5.2 isn't too far off. I'll upgrade right away, 5.1.12 has a couple bugs with string handling (the clipboard one, as well as al_set_new_window_title) so it'll be nice to get rid of the workarounds for them. Plus the WAV stream corruption is gone, yay! Will Ubuntu packages be uploaded soon? (I know it's a pain, no rush) Also, no MSVC binaries? (edit: Nevermind, forgot these are provided through NuGet now

Thanks Bruce for fixing that al_set_window_title bug. And thanks Siegelord for the new release! Already downloaded! I will make some Mingw 4.5.0 binaries here in a day or two when my internet is back up and running.

Edgar Reynaldo said: Thanks Bruce for fixing that al_set_window_title bug. No problem. As I use Allegro for a general-purpose game engine, I noticed it right away that every single game had the last character of its title chopped off. If I were just making a single game I probably wouldn't have paid it any mind. edit: Are the NuGet packages bugged? Just installed the 5.1.13 package to my project, and I'm getting link errors: 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'allegro51.lib' edit 2: Ignore me, it was caused by leftover linker settings from when I had the Allegro libs in my own repo. The packages work great!

Quote: Nevermind, forgot these are provided through NuGet now Yeah, I figured it was the most convenient method and hosting the .zip files seemed redundant (you can actually open the packages and extract the libs/dlls yourself).

4.5.0? SiegeLord said: That's... very strange. I wonder what I did wrong. I'll try fixing it in a bit. Yeah, the other folders work fine, they were the only ones that gave a problem. The files show as there, just can't download them. Permissions on them or something? (not sure how that works there) --- |

I'm making the move. Byebye A4, all my code will belong to A5 during this week. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

I must say NuGet is nice - and with the static option, no more needing to build Allegro myself, yay! I didn't realize nuget could add options to the project settings. That's pretty nifty.

I like NuGet package. it's easy to install from Windows 10's PowerShell PS C:\Users\FooBar> Find-Package Allegro | Install-Package -Destination C:\Users\FooBar\Documents\A5 Thank you for the Allegro Dev Team! |

I just re-ran my last Travis build of minisphere, and the build succeeded using the 5.1.13 packages. No idea what happens at runtime until I boot into Ubuntu myself, but there are no compile/link errors at least.

@SiegeLord By the way it still might be worth providing standalone MSVC binaries for allegro_deps, since those are needed to build Allegro using CMake and are a pain to build them all manually. For now I can lift them from the NuGet packages, of course.

I created a function for that under Allegro 5. bool key_pressed(int key) { ALLEGRO_KEYBOARD_STATE s; al_get_keyboard_state(&s); return al_key_down(&s, key); }

Edgar Reynaldo said: Cheers. Here ya go. If you have any problems with it let me know and I'll fix 'em lickety split. Thanks a lot, that was fast! Anyhow, I recompiled my Deluxe Pacman 2 game using it, both debug and release versions were statically linked and worked perfectly. I think there may be a slight increase in speed with this version I noticed, at least over what I had installed, which I think was 5.1.11 if I recall. One problem (if it is a problem?) that I still notice is that when I run my game with DirectX mode, I get around 400fps (should be faster, but that's my fault). Anyhow, when I switch it to use OpenGL instead, it gets half that, or around 200fps, that seems like quite a difference. I was under the impression that the two should be close to the same. I am running Windows 7 - 64bit with latest drivers (nVidia GTX650). I don't suppose anyone has figured this out yet? I noted this a few versions ago. I am happy to run with DirectX, and I can most definitely speed my game's frame rate up (I plan to do that soon) but I still wonder if I ever recompile it for Linux or some other platform with opengl, how well it would do. I also noticed that my frame rate gradually climbs. It done that with 5.1.11, with this version it climbs a little faster. Starts out around 350, climbs to over 400. I use the same frame rate code so I doubt it is that (though I will double check it). Just seems odd, and quite a difference. Oh, do I still need to use "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" and "OpenAL32.dll" with this? --- |

It's been my experience that DirectX hits higher framerates on Windows in general compared to OpenGL, however OpenGL's framerate tends to be more stable where DX can jump all over the place depending on what kind of primitives you're drawing.

Neil Roy said: Oh, do I still need to use "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" and "OpenAL32.dll" with this? Doh! Forgot about that again. I removed the dependency on OpenAL32.dll from the dynamic builds, but they still depend on ligcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++6.dll. I figure you're building dynamically anyway, so.... I rebuilt all the libs and re-uploaded them to sourceforge. New links : There are dynamically linked debug builds of all the demos and examples in there. It would be really awesome if people could run them and see if they all work as expected. You can use gdb to get a backtrace if they crash. The dlls need to be copied into the example or demo folders or else you can just add the bin/dlls folder to your %PATH%. Thanks for reminding me Neil. E.

Edgar Reynaldo said: I rebuilt all the libs and re-uploaded them to sourceforge. Wow, that was fast, many thanks for your efforts, they are appreciated. I tested it out again, found bugs... in my game code, not yours. Seems to work fine. I statically compiled/linked everything, done a clean rebuid and tried my best to hide all the DLLs from my paths and it still seems to run fine even though those two dlls "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" and "libstdc++-6.dll" do not APPEAR to be in the path anywhere. Does it still require them when statically linked? Or perhaps do I have them in my path somewhere I do not know. I would rather not have to include the, but if I have to I will, not a big deal really. Also, just to clarify, "OpenAL.dll" is no longer needed? I statically link everything, even my debug versions. Using the compiler you zipped as well as your binaries (best idea ever by the way!). Anyhow, so far I am pleased. --- |
