Removed Rand* functions from ZEngine and replaced with overloaded Rand. ! Moved versioning information and changed format. * Changed ZEngine 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.

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. (thanks to Kevin Watters) # Changed Macros in ZE_Utility to functions. 0.8.2 + Added "desired framerate" functionality into the test programs. + Added "desired framerate" code to ZEngine. + Added ZImage::SetAlpha and example in ZImageTest. + Added complete error handling system to ZEngine including internal ZError class. + Added ZEngine::SetEventFilter. + Changed ZEngine::CreateDisplay to return a boolean value. + Added copy constructor to ZImage. + Added const modifier to members of ZImage,ZTimer,ZMusic,ZSound,ZRect,ZConfigFile,ZFont and ZError. # Fixed the DisplayFormat + Dithering Bugs in ZImage / SDLGL_Util. # Fixed problems setting bit depth in OpenGL. # Fixed several documentation problems. # Updated examples to use newer features and check for errors. # Fixed OpenGL color bleed in ZRect. 0.8.1 + Added legal information for developers. + Fixed VC7 to build without PhysFS by default. + Added small notice into /lib directory. + Added VC6 files based on updated VC7 files, courtesy of Sean. + Added links to the tutorials. 0.8.0 + Added Surface Loss Protection. + Utilized Surface Loss Protection in ZImageTest for a demo. # ZEngine now builds on FreeBSD. # Updated copyright. 0.8.0-rc4 (what rc3 should have been) - Removed switch option from tests due to surface loss. # Fixed ZImage::SetColorKey for new Attach behavior. # Fixed ZMusicTest GL screen error if music fails to open. # Fixed VC7 "Release" Project files. 0.8.0-rc3 + Fixed memory leak when using ZImage::Attach, and in ZFont. + Updated ZEngine web info. (mostly in rc2) # Fixed time based movement and some compile time warnings in ZRectTest.cpp. # Added gamedev.net to thanks.txt. # Fixed documentation in ZE_ZImage.h 0.8.0-rc2 !
