What's New# This is a list of changes in pygame's history.# # CVS tag names are placed before the date # BREAK = change breaks existing code # BUG = fixed a bug that was (or could have been) crashing # # Mar 18, 2008 Updated credits. Mac OSX binary now has movie module working. 1.8.0rc5 Mar 16, 2008 the play functions of mixer.Channel and mixer.Sound both now take keyword arguments, and accept a fade_ms argument that makes the sound fade in Mar 9, 2008 pygame.display.set_mode() will now respect the screen resolution settings for the width or height set to 0 as supported by SDL >= 1.2.10. Thanks Lorenz Quack! Mar 5, 2008 [BUG] Stopped releasing GIL on png, and jpeg saving functions because they do not seem to be thread safe. [BUG] A work around for 8 bit samples being stereo reversed with SDL_mixer. Also check the return value of Mix_SetPanning, and raise an error on volume errors. [BUG] Changed default chunk size for pygame.mixer to 1024*3. Which is the magic number which stops scratchy sounds on most systems. However it does make sounds a bit laggier... it's best provided as a config item for users. Updated pygame.display.update() to release the GIL whilst doing things, so other threads can do things whilst it's updating the screen. Some comments to help Mac OSX people installing, and compiling pygame. About bdist_mpkg in setup, and also fixed an exception message to be nicer about requiring pyobjc. Mar 3, 2008 [BUG] Fixed up pygame.mask.from_surface, got color key, and perpixel alpha modes reversed. Also added better test to the mask test. Also it wasn't testing pygame.mask.from_surface at all! Added pygame.sprite.collide_mask to join the mask_* collision functions. Started adding test for pygame.sprite.spritecollide. Feb 19, 2008 Added Surface.get_bounding_rect() method, which returns the smallest rect for the surface, that contains visible (non-transparent) data. Feb 14, 2008 Updated constants GL_SWAP_CONTROL,GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL,BUTTON_X1,BUTTON_X2 Added pygame.key.get_repeat to see how holding keys down repeats. This is the sister function of pygame.ket.set_repeat. MacOSX, and Windows binaries now use latest SDL 1.2.13 Feb 11, 2008 An example of using pygame with no windowing system. Useful for webserver scripts, or for little utilities. Updated mac_scrap to pass some tests, and raise NotImplementedError otherwise. Further Windows build updates: For MinGW/MSYS the build process now finds the MSYS and MinGW directories automatically. gcc links to msvcr71.dll without requiring changes to the gcc specs file. This makes the build process GCC Version 4 ready. By default all DLLs are Win32 GUI, but can be console. The build progams will run from either the Windows or MSYS terminal. Fixed a bug where DLLs were not installed in the package directory. For Windows, everything now goes into the package directory. build_deps.py renamed to msys_build_deps.py to avoid confusion. Jan 26, 2008 pygame.sndarray noew can change between Numeric and numpy using the new methods pygame.sndarray.use_arraytype () and pygame.sndarray.get_arraytypes (). Jan 24, 2008 Updated the configuration and build process under Windows. In config_msys.py and config.py os.popen is replaced with the newer subprocess.Popen so the MSYS will run. Calls to raw_input now show the prompt on an MSYS console. In an MSYS build paths written to Setup are now Windows paths for distutils. The hard coded DLL file paths have been removed from setup.py. It now gets the paths from Setup. Consequently, setup.py is now VC/MinGW agnostic. Added build_deps.py, an all-in-one dependency builder for Windows. Requires MinGW and MSYS. Jan 8, 2008 pygame.surfarray now can change between Numeric and numpy using the new methods pygame.surfarray.use_arraytype () and pygame.surfarray.get_arraytypes (). Jan 4, 2008 Removed Numeric compile time dependency. Added numpy surface array support. Dec 31, 2007 New method pygame.get_sdl_byteorder () to get the SDL byte order. Dec 15, 2007 Mask can now get bounding rects of set bits. pygame.transform can find edges in an image, get the average surface of many surfaces and also threshold an image by color. Sep 1, 2007 Added get_buffer() methods to Surface, and Sound - which return a new BufferProxy - which is a buffer interface only class. Thanks Marcus! Aug 23, 2007 pygame.image.tostring changes from Brian Fisher. RGBA_PREMULT & ARGB_PREMULT type to image.tostring (a very nice thing for getting images into OpenGL) Aug 22, 2007 PixelArray from Marcus. It's going to be a replacement for surfarray. [BUG] Fixed some bugs in Surface with SRCALPHA and input validation. Thanks Lenard Lindstrom and Brian Fisher. Aug 15, 2007 The sprite module has had some big changes from DR0ID. It now has a LayeredUpdates, and LayeredDirty groups. For using layers when rendering the sprites. LayeredDirty is an alternative to RenderUpdates that automatically finds the best display method (either full screen updates, or dirty rect updates). It's faster if you have sprites that don't move. Thanks DR0ID! Added pygame.mask.from_surface which can make a Mask object from a surface. It's 128x faster than the python version! pygame.movie bug fix. Thanks Lenard Lindstrom! Jun 25, 2007 Removed QNX support from scrap module. Thanks Marcus! Added smoothscale(with MMX!) function from Richard Goedeken Jun 27, 2007 Fixes from Marcus for ref counting bugs. Also using METH_NOARGS for functions with no arguments. Which should make some functions slightly faster. Thanks Marcus, and thanks Campbell Barton for spotting them. May 30, 2007 Fixed some documentation. mask, scrap, font modules. Fixed the mask.set_at get_at functions to raise a nice exception. Thanks piman! surface.fill() now takes the same BLEND_ADD BLEND_SUB etc flags that surface.blit() takes. Which makes fade to white, and fade to black type operates simple and fast. Thanks Marcus!! Added the GL_SWAP_CONTROL constant from SDL. Thanks Eyal Lotem! Added the new blitters from Marcus. These speed up the blend functions and the alpha blit function. Added a -warnings flag to setup.py for extra warnings with gcc. A fix from Marcus for the scrap module in X11. May 9, 2007 Windows image copy/paste is working for scrap. Adding bitmask code from Ulf Ekström - for pixelperfect collision. Still need to get unittest, documentation and some more methods added. There's a unittest with some problems checked in. May 2, 2007 [BUG] fromstring,tostring work for alpha. Thanks Brian Fisher. [BUG] Surf.set_clip(None) works correctly. Thanks Diego Essaya. Scrap changes from Marcus so windows/osx compile. Added scancode attribute to keyboard events. Thanks Quentin Smith. [BUG] movie_set_display hangs on movie file-like object. Thanks Martin. Apr 26, 2007 Some code cleanups from Marcus von Appen. min->MIN, indentation, other. A rewritten scrap module. Hasn't been tested on osx/windows. Dec 15, 2006 Some config changes to make scrap compile correctly on freebsd and debian. Nov 27, 2006 Fixes scrap, image, overlay, compiling on windows. Thanks John Popplewell! Allowed threads within the transform module. Releasing GIL around C stuff. Nov 5, 2006 Fix for SysFont infinite loop bug. Thanks Regis Desgroppes! Compilation fix on MacOSX. Thanks Emmanuel Hainry! Nov 4, 2006 Documentation fixes. Jun 16, 2006 Allowed passing in the destination surface to the transform.scale and transform.scale2x. This is faster if reusing the surface. Jun 15, 2006 [BUG] Font fix for empty string causing segfault. Added unittest. Jun 10, 2006 64bit compile fixes for Fedora from Christopher Stone Jun 8, 2006 Documentation changes. Move to subversion instead of cvs. May 28, 2006 Added saving surfaces as a .jpg or .jpeg file. Works if imageext is there. May 27, 2006 Added saving surfaces as a .png file. Works if imageext is there. Saves as 24 bit RGB or as 32bit RGBA pngs depending on the surface. May 20, 2006 Documentation updates merged in from some doc comments on website. [BUG] pygame.transform.* functions now retain SRCALPHA info after scaling. Some new unittests for pygame.display.update, pygame.transform.scale. May 18, 2006 Patch from Peter Nicolai to add the channel to the sound queued event. April 25, 2006 Added some new blend modes to blit. Add,sub,mult,max,min. [BUG] Fixed SRCALPHA blending. Thanks Lenard Lindstrom! April 9, 2006 Added mac_scrap module for macintosh clipboard support. April 8, 2006 Added scrap module for accessing the clipboard. As well as an example. Added access to the XEvent structure on unix/X11 installs. March 11, 2006 Fix for config_unix for x86_64 and SDL lib path. Thanks Matthew L Daniel. [BUG]Fix for parent init in sprite.GroupSingle. Thanks Alexander Sashnov. March 1, 2006 A cursors.py example from Kamilche. Thanks! February 11, 2006 Changed the behaviour of Clock.tick to use SDL_Delay instead of a busy loop. Added a tick_busy_loop which uses the old behaviour. This is more consistent with what people think Clock.tick() will do. That is, not use 100% cpu to get more accurate timing. testsprite.py example, which is based off the testsprite.c in SDL shows the performance of sprites, and is a good test. Added gp2x package which contains some constants for the gp2x buttons. This will be where gp2x specific functionality will live. January 12, 2006 Endian patch for set_at() from Ivo Danihelka. December 19, 2005 Updates for Overlay. Detect hardware accel and allow "redisplay". November 7, 2005 Fix for sprite.AbstractGroup.has inf recursion bug. thanks Randy Kaelber. Began work on a sprite unittest. October 28, 2005 fix for do_set_icon when display not initialised. Thanks John Popplewell! Added missing read_unix_fonts_cache function. Thanks again John Popplewell.
