Allegro development continues at a frenzied pace, adding 2x more features, fixing 3x more bugs and introducing 4x more new bugs than before! Not really... there were some serious issues with the 5.2.1(.0) release, so this patch release fixes those. Check out the source archives here. MSYS2 binaries are available here with the dependency packages available here. You can grab the MSVC Nuget package here. Ubuntu and homebrew will be updated in the coming days. Changes from 5.2.1 to 5.2.1.1 (August 2016)The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, SiegeLord. Core

Just a note - the library fails to build if you use a recent version of freetype and you have compiled freetype with libpng support because it doesn't link to libpng and zlib. Binaries for MinGW 4.8.1 and 5.3.0 are on the way. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

Oh yeah, that's right. I'll make an issue about it on github an get it fixed for the next release. I should work on adding more and updating the existing dependencies to these binaries... in particular, I'm missing OPUS, as it's a bit of a pain to compile just like vorbis was.

I'm assuming you mean the OPUS codec for audio, correct? When was that added? What I'd really like to see added is support for saving in .ogg format. I have yet to find a decent audio editor that I really like that isn't bloated with adware.

Was the ugly-white-flash-fix removed? Or just fixed? -- |

And here I was, finally building Allegro 5.2.1 about 2 days ago hahaha! I'm very tempted to make the change, but I'm satisfied with the previous version right now. How bad are those things fixed in this new version? Like, the white clear and all that. Right now I would update mostly to help with testing. Nevertheless congrats for the new release and thanks for all the hard work! |

The joystick thing is probably the most likely issue you'll hit, but it's only on OSX. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

I was in stand by for a lot of time so my thread was closed. Anyway, it's a related theme so... SiegeLord said: I don't exactly know what is involved in this system none though, so somebody else needs to implement it. In particular, Allegro uses TLS pretty heavily inside pretty much everywhere, and that pthread crash might be TLS related. It might end up being a lot of work. Sad to know about this. Unfortunately I have almost no experience with pthread and no-one with TLS (not sure what's TLS anyway, I didn't a lot C/C++ programming in the last decade), so I can't help. Anyway I can provide a minimal program that reproduces the error so you may trace it if you think it's worth of. ----------------- |

Hi everybody. I've put together some unofficial distributions of MinGW 4.8.1 and MinGW 5.3.0, as well as binaries of Allegro 4.4.3 from GIT as of 8/12/2016 and Allegro 5.2.1.1 for each version of MinGW. Each includes all the example and test programs as well as the addons and dependencies. Only monolith versions of Allegro 5 are provided. See the associated thread for downloads and info : https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/616446 Hope this helps get more people developing with Allegro!!! Happy coding! EDIT ex_timer_pause when run from the command line does nothing and returns immediately. When run from gdb it pauses normally. printf output does not work with either case. It simply does not appear. In the changelog for 5.2.0 some timer behavior was changed. Perhaps that is the cause of these strange effects.

It's too bad I'm on mac now. But when I'm on PC I'll be sure to use them. -- |

Sorry, haven't been programming a lot lately. I can't test out DLLs, I statically link. I should probably use DLLs perhaps, but when I went to use them, I got errors and my enthusiasm is already fairly low so... --- |

DLLs should technically be easier to use, as you only need to link to the allegro monolith and then include the dlls with your exe. If you're getting errors, you should post them. Maybe I can help. And maybe they're my fault for building it wrong somehow. If you don't post, I don't know.

Gideon Weems said: Weird. I'm used to this being the other way around.
I never had a problem statically linking and I hate having to remember which DLLs to include etc. I find this way just easier. When it's compiled, everything that is needed is in the executable. No fuss, no muss. --- |

Neil Roy downloaded my distro for MinGW 5.3.0 and Allegro 5.2.1.1. He had some issues with the timer behavior in his program. See the associated bug reports below : ex_timer_pause when run from the command line does nothing and returns immediately. When run from gdb it pauses normally. printf output does not work with either case. It simply does not appear. In the changelog for 5.2.0 some timer behavior was changed. Perhaps that is the cause of these strange effects. ... Neil reports the issue is fixed now. For reference, and for anyone else who may be experiencing an issue with the timers in Allegro 5.2.1.1 with their applications, the fix is to add a line in timernu.c. Insert this line after line 106 of allegro/src/timernu.c and recompile allegro to fix this issue : 104 al_lock_mutex(timers_mutex);
105 while (_al_vector_size(&active_timers) == 0 && !destroy_thread) {
106 al_wait_cond(timer_cond, timers_mutex);
108 }
109 al_unlock_mutex(timers_mutex);
Also, Trent told me the reason ex_timer_pause returns immediately from the command line is because it is compiled as a graphic application instead of a console program. This change in the way the examples are compiled was introduced recently. I don't know if it affects any of the other example programs.
