ZFont crash fix relys on SDL_ttf 2.0.7 # Switched ZImage stretch code to GL_LINEAR. # Moved ZLib for convinience of non-MSVC build processes. (fixing #include "../zlib/unzip.h") # Fixed display format switching bugs with title and icon. 0.8.5 # OpenFromZip code added for ZImage,ZFont and ZSound. # Zlib/Unzip code added directly into ZEngine. # ZEngine::MButtonPressed added in addition to L & R button. # ZRect overload for ZEngine::MouseInRect. # ZE_main as new entrypoint instead of main, ZE_main entrypoint allows ZEngine to initialize PhysFS and release itself. # New Draw,DrawRotated, and DrawClipped overloads with vertex coloring parameter for advanced needs. # Addition of Dev-C+# project files and more Dev-C+# support. # Addition of DrawClipped and DrawClipped example in ZImageTest # New limited SDL graphics backend for platforms without OpenGL. # Removal of PhysFS. # Removal of VC6 project files and official support. # Removal of SDL_net support in favour of external library. # Sweep of non-used legacy code. # Updated docs and dependencies to refer to latest SDL (1.2.6). # Fix crash in drawing blank string with ZFont. # Tests modified to show off loading of compressed files. # Moved image,sound,music and font loading code from legacy ZEngine location to respective classes. # Tiny optimizations within newer ZImage code. # Changed ZImage stretching to floating-point (irregular screen sizes, emulation). # New linux build system (by Atani). 0.8.4 # Removed Rand# functions from ZEngine and replaced with overloaded Rand. # Moved versioning information and changed format. # Changed ZEngine accessor members (Width-->DisplayWidth, Height-->DisplayHeight, and BPP-->DisplayDepth). # Added more information on dependencies and obtaining them. # Added comment & newline support to ZConfigFile. # Added particle system example program. # Added simple particle system implemented on top of base. # Added entire base particle system, templated, and designed for expandability. # Added random generation classes, for if an object needs it's own random stream. # Removed mt19937ar.h/cpp rand system (replaced with ZE_ZRandGen.h/cpp) # Fixed multiple warnings given by g+# for cleaner linux compilation. # Disabled warning C4702, unreachable code, this was to fix a build problem in newer versions of VC++. # Reworked changelog to contain symbols. # Changed implementation of parts of ZImage for tiny optimization. # Fixed tiny problem in ZImage use of alpha. # Changed default font rendering to blended, much better results. Also added alpha parameter. # ZEngine no longer forces use namespace std, library references prefixed with std::. # Revised all source, cleaned up various areas. # Changed way event hook is implemented, more control, should be threadsafe. (needed for Gewi 0.2) 0.8.3 # Removed ZObject inheritance hierarchy and made classes inheritance-safe. # Added ZImage<-->ZImage drawing in OpenFromImage. # Added ZImage::Draw(int,int) and ZImage::DrawRotated(float,float,float). # New ZRect constructor (construct from SDL_Rect). # Added Random Number generation to the ZEngine singleton. # Added floats to ZConfigFile. # Simple ZServer and ZClient classes using SDL_net. # Added loading of fonts from withen an archive via PhysFS (needs SDL_ttf 2.0.6) # Fixed project files for people who don't want to add ZEngine to their path. # Altered layout of some of the header files to hopefully be more readable. # Fixed minor bugs in ZImage, allowing Gewi to work properly. # Changed behavior of ZImage::Bind to work with blending. # Fixed timer problems when used before ZEngine::Update. # Updated ZError for ZServer & ZClient. # Fixed ZImage::SetColorKey.
