Woohoo! It's been a little while since we released Allegro! This release as always was made possible by the hard efforts of our many amazing contributors, some new and some old. Many bugs were squashed, and many features were added. One particular feature I want to highlight is the new Android build system courtesy of Elias, which makes compiling Allegro for Android a cinch! You can grab the source archives and MinGW packages here. The MinGW dependency packages have been updated to the newest versions of dependencies (not libwebp yet though), and I've tried to make the archive naming scheme be more useful. MSVC packages are available on Nuget, and Ubuntu PPA and OSX homebrew will be updated in the coming days. Enjoy! Changes from 5.2.2 to 5.2.3 (October 2017)The main developers this time were: Elias Pschernig, SiegeLord, Sebastian Krzyszkowiak, Vitaliy V. Tokarev, Simon Naarmann, Bruno Félix Rezende Ribeiro, Trent Gamblin. Core

Congrats on the stable release! It's an honor to be listed among the main devs for connecting the wires between Allegro 5 and DUMB 2.0. I've learned a lot and contributed to both libraries along the way. -- Simon |

Hey SiegeLord, thanks for your hard work. In the dependencies, did you happen to fix physfs? There's a bug in physfs 2.0.3 that makes files in archives not load properly. I have a patch from a mailing list that fixes this if you need it. There's also a bug in libtheora, but that only affects building theora's encoder_example.c .

EDIT: Nevermind, they no longer use zlib, so they don't have the bug anymore, so it's all fixed on their end. Just need to update.

Awesome, great work! If you don't mind, I think it would be nice for audio addon to have tempo change speed functionality in near future. To understand what i'm talking about you have to open Audacity and some sound to work with. Play with "Change Pitch/Speed/Tempo" functions under "Effects" menu on the sound. |

What are current changes / needs / milestones that people can help with to continue development? Any addons? Modules? etc I've considered writing a RawAPI driver for multiple mouse/keyboards in the past. I'd like to do a full API that decouples effectors (inputs) from their actions and allow changing things like applying function curves (change linear input to exponential or vice-versa), debouncing, etc. But that's a much bigger project and might be an external library that allows linking to Allegro (and other libs). I use DAlleg. Anything added or tested you need with that, Siegelord? -----sig: |

Chris Katko, see the mailing list for a small discussion of Multi mice/keyboard support. Basically you use the RawInput API on Windows and monitor all the HID devices attached. I wrote a program that does this, called ManyMouse, which you can view here : My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

For good measure, I updated the docker build environment to 5.2.3 https://hub.docker.com/r/amarillion/alleg5-buildenv/tags/ -- |

There was an issue with the Nuget packages, and I patched the PhysFS bug, so the windows packages were correspondingly updated. Neuton Mouse said: If you don't mind, I think it would be nice for audio addon to have tempo change speed functionality in near future. This is actually a pretty complex algorithm, while the simple speed manipulation is pretty trivial. I don't know if it can be done in a streaming fashion. Besides this, we'd need to figure out some API for this. Chris Katko said: What are current changes / needs / milestones that people can help with to continue development? In general, reducing the number of issues is something we work on, https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/issues, we have a number of issues tagged 'Easy'. Overall, the input system could use a bit of work: on Windows we don't properly support IME, and on Linux we're not quite doing the right thing (https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/issues/723). Also joystick support really could use a rework across all platforms. There are quite a few other longstanding issues as well.

Am I required to compile something with that latest version? Lately, I'm trying to learn about timer in this version but it crash. As well as for the font. |

ajsuson, post a new thread with your source code and the problem and we'll work on it. I may compile binaries, don't know yet, probably will at some point.

Edgar Reynaldo said: By the way, could we get download links to the compiler versions you used to build allegro and the dependencies? I just use whatever MSYS2 provides. The filenames for the binaries should contain all the necessary information, I think. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

If you build rubberband from source, make sure to use link time optimization. It GREATLY improves the library's performance. |

For those rare jalleg users on Win64 I've released a new version of https://github.com/gillius/jalleg-rt with the 64bit Windows runtime that I got from https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases/download/5.2.3.0/allegro-x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-7.2.0-posix-seh-static-5.2.3.1.zip jalleg binding library version is the same, only if you want to pull in a pre-built JAR that unpacks the DLL for you, you can use newer jalleg-rt. It'll be a couple of hours before the artifacts hit Maven Central. Gillius |
