Changes from 5.0.9 to 5.0.10 (June 2013)
========================================

The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, Paul Suntsov, Peter Wang.

Core:

- Register system interface even if no display driver available on Windows.

Displays:

- Don't crash in al_create_display if there is no display driver.

- Don't crash at shutdown if there is no display driver (Windows).

- Don't fail init if both D3D, GL drivers unavailable (Windows).

- Run fullscreen toggle on main thread (OS X).

- Destroy the backbuffer bitmap when destroying the display (OS X).

- Switch to new NSTrackingArea API (OS X).

- Check availability of fullscreen button on window frame at run-time (OS X).

Graphics:

- Add ALLEGRO_SRC_COLOR, ALLEGRO_DEST_COLOR, ALLEGRO_INVERSE_SRC_COLOR,
ALLEGRO_INVERSE_DEST_COLOR blending modes (initially by Jon Rafkind and
Elias Pschernig).

- Let al_destroy_bitmap implicitly untarget the bitmap on the calling
thread.

- Use memory bitmap drawing when either bitmap is locked (OpenGL).

- Add const qualifiers to glUniform*v() functions (Aaron Bolyard).

Input:

- al_set_mouse_xy on Windows resulted in the mouse getting set to the wrong
position in windowed modes.

- Scale the user supplied mouse cursor if it's too big (Windows).

- Fix mouse warping on OS X.

- Fix mouse warping in Linux evdev mouse driver.

Audio addon:

- pulseaudio: Use smaller buffer size by default, and make it configurable.

- pulseaudio: Clean up state transitions.

- Fix looping in Ogg Vorbis stream (Todd Cope).

- Enable the use of the unpatched DirectX SDK to build Allegro with MinGW.

Color addon:

- Fix al_color_rgb_to_html blue component (Jeff Bernard).

Font addons:

- Make al_init_ttf_addon return true for subsequent calls.

Primitives addon:

- Disallow 3 component vectors for ALLEGRO_PRIM_TEX_COORD.

- Check that the vertex declaration is valid before creating it.

- Respect filter settings of textures in the D3D backend.

Build system:

- Do not install most internal header files.

- Do not search for and link with unneeded X libraries.

Examples:

- ex_audio_timer: New example.

Other:

- Minor fixes.

- Various documentation updates.

- A lot of code refactoring.

Are most people installing both the stable (5.0) and unstable (5.1) branches? I'm running unstable only and don't want to miss out on anything.

I am running unstable only here. Development happens on the 5.1 branch and relevant changes are brought back into the 5.0 branch. You won't miss anything if you stick with 5.1.

I just grab whatever Michał builds :P

I prefer the unstable, because it's the bleeding-edge of features.

... So all the updates here have already been included in the latest unstable release (5.1.8). That makes sense.

Thank you!

Can we get a Windows Binary made? The bug with al_set_mouse_xy in windowed mode in 5.0.9 is preventing me from further development on my game. :/

Whenever I see one of these threads and no Michal post, I wonder to myself "What the fuck am I going to do now?"

Thanks from me too!

Sorry to be so clueless but I'm wondering since I'm not a windows user. Is it really that hard to build allegro yourself on windows? ??? On Linux, building is rather easy.

The base Allegro is easy to build, but all of the dependencies with an easy-to-distribute monolithic version? No.

Windows support feels like an afterthought in most of A5 dependencies. I made a guide to install A5 and the dependencies from source with MinGW, but that only worked predictably after I patched the dependency sources myself: it was a pain to figure out. The main offender is autotools, which leads me to predict that compiling everything with MSVC might be easier.

I don't use the builds myself, I'm just thanking Michal for putting in the time to help people that need them.

OK, I see. It's the dependencies that cause some problems. Could anything be done about that? If some libraries have non-restrictive licenses that are compatible with Allegro's it might be possible to vendor them...

Of course, I also think Michał is doing a great job in providing the windows builds.

Hi. I hope I'm not asking too much but could I ask you to compile a version for MSVC2010? It seems to be the one missing here this time, and I would need that exact version.

Thanks! :)

I wonder about missing 2k10 version too. I hope I just forgot to put it on ftp. I will check that on Friday.

Edit:

There it is. Fixed build for Windows. Sorry for troubles.

Will you be adding a compiled version for 4.7.1-tdm in the near future?

Whats wrong with using the one for 4.7.0?

That's another thing I've been wondering about as of lately: who do so many people still use allegro 4.x? What is allegro 5 missing that makes 4 more attractive?

Existing code?

But those two are talking about mingw/gcc 4.7.1 there's no such thing as allegro 4.7 :)

I thought adding the -tdm would give it away that I was talking about MinGW 4.7.1-tdm.

I don't understand why people use the "tdm" version of MinGW in the first place...

Backward compatibility.

There you go:
allegro-5.0.10-mingw-4.7.1-tdm.7z

I don't understand why people use the "tdm" version of MinGW in the first place...

In my case, it defaults to link static run-time and produce executables without unwanted MinGW DLL. For games this is a good thing, I think.
