Release Notes for Agar 1.4.1
----------------------------

Here are some of the most notable changes since Agar 1.4.0, in no
particular order. A wikified version of this list is available at:
http://wiki.libagar.org/wiki/Agar-1.4.1.

- Port to Xbox (thanks Michael J. Wood!).
- Widget code can now use the AG_Redraw() and AG_RedrawOn*() interfaces to
  trigger rendering. The generic event loop uses this information to avoid
  unnecessary video updates -- custom event loops should be modified to
  test for the window "dirty" flag to take advantage of this feature.
- Fixed compilation with --disable-legacy option.
- Implemented AG_SurfaceFromPNG() and AG_SurfaceFromJPEG().
- Fixed crash bug in AG_SurfaceFromSDL(); thanks trapdoor!
- Added AG_SetJPEGQuality(), to set quality used by AG_SurfaceExportJPEG().
- Merge --enable-{class,event}debug into --enable-objdebug; remove lockdebug.
- Upgrade build system to BSDBuild 2.8. Note that stale ./agar-config/ and
  ./agar-foo-config/ directories may break the build and should be removed
  before ./configure is executed.
- Fix deadlock condition with the AG_Timeout interface when timers are
  scheduled in reverse order; thanks to Jakob Reschke for the fix!
- Fixed UTF8 conversion bug with 3-byte sequences; thanks Jerry Huang!
- Fixed coordinates offset for popup menus under single-window drivers.
- Numerous improvements to the API reference. Added AG_DriverGLX(3),
  AG_DriverWGL(3), AG_DriverSDLFB(3), AG_DriverSDLGL(3), AG_DriverMw(3)
  and AG_DriverSw(3), AG_InitGraphics(3) manual pages.
- Fixed crash bug with AG_TEXTBOX_STATIC and AG_EDITABLE_STATIC.
- Added "STRUCTURE DATA" section to AG_Window(3).
- Added missing SDL_LockSurface() calls in sdlfb/sdlgl drivers.
- AG_InitGraphics() can now accept driver initialization arguments.
- Avoid use of gettimeofday() on cygwin platform.
- MATH: Fix type conversion warnings.
- Implemented AG_DirDlg(3) directory selection widget.
- Implemented AG_Anim(3) interface.
- WGL: Terminate application by exiting the event loop instead of
  using exit().
- In AG_Scrollbar(3), implement AG_SCROLLBAR_AUTOHIDE option.
- Fix compilation issues under MinGW / MSYS (thanks Joergen!)
- WGL: Post a "window-gainfocus" event when a window is focused for
  the first time on creation.

Release Notes for Agar 1.4.0 ("Landscapes of Frozen Methane")
-------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some of the most notable changes since Agar 1.3.4, in no
particular order. A wikified version of this list is available at:
http://wiki.libagar.org/wiki/Agar-1.4.0.

This release preserves backward compatibility with Agar 1.3.4, but it is
recommended to compile Agar with the `--disable-legacy' configure option,
ensuring that existing applications are not using deprecated API calls.

- Added support for multiple native windows; rework of the low-level grap=
hics
  and input device interfaces. As of this release, the available drivers =
are:
  - "glx" (GL rendering via X Window System; multiple windows)
  - "wgl" (GL rendering under Windows; multiple windows)
  - "sdlfb" (framebuffer rendering via SDL; internal WM)
  - "sdlgl" (GL rendering via SDL; internal WM)
  New drivers can also be implemented as part of an application, the driv=
er
  API is documented in AG_Driver(3).
- Applications should now use AG_InitGraphics() to initialize the graphic=
al
  interface. Backward compatibility is preserved, but AG_InitVideo() will
  only select among single-window graphics drivers.
- Agar can now be built without the SDL library, where the SDL graphics
  driver is not needed.
- Many improvements to the AG_Surface(3) interface.
- Implement generic AG_Keyboard and AG_Mouse interfaces; allow for multip=
le
  input devices.
- Implement widget "actions" as a generic method of handling mouse and
  keyboard actions per user preferences (see AG_Widget(3)/ACTIONS).
- Agar windows are now attached and detached using AG_ObjectAttach() and
  AG_ObjectDetach() against a parent AG_Driver(3); the AG_ViewDetach()
  function is now deprecated.
- Added AG_Tbl(3), AG_Tree(3) interfaces to ag_core.
- Fix handling of dynamically-allocated strings in AG_CopyVariable().
- Implement AG_TlistUniq(), AG_TlistAddHead().
- Important optimizations to AG_LookupClass().
- Consistently provide plain string variants for every function accepting
  format string arguments. This allows for more efficient code, and avoid=
s
  complications with language bindings.

Release Notes for Agar 1.3.4 (Pandemonic Incantation)
-----------------------------------------------------

Here are some of the most notable changes since Agar 1.3.3, in no
particular order. A wikified version of this list is available at:
http://wiki.libagar.org/wiki/Agar-1.3.4.

- Continued improvements to the API reference.
- Overall improved handling of out-of-memory conditions.
- Implement simpler, unified AG_Variable(3) interface at the AG_Object(3)
  level in ag_core. This renders the AG_Widget(3)-level "AG_WidgetBinding"
  and the "AG_Prop" interfaces obsolete, as well as the AG_Event(3) argument
  lists, which all used different structures and interfaces. Backwards
  compatibility is preserved.
- GUI: Implemented word-wrapping in AG_Editable(3) and AG_Textbox(3). Thanks
  to CoKinetic Systems (http://www.cokinetic.com/) for sponsoring this feature!
- Perl XS bindings improved to the level that they are now useful, thanks to
  Mat Sutcliffe!
- Continued improvements to the Ada bindings; added ada-demos/
  (thanks rothwell!)
- Remove unnecessary --disable-utf8 switch, always use Unicode.
- Removed DEV_GuiDebugger() from ag_dev library. Reimplemented a more useful
  debugging tool, AG_GuiDebugger(), in ag_gui itself.
- Fixed font engine initialization/clean-up issue which prevented Agar from
  being destroyed and re-initialized later (thanks naiina!)
- CORE: Eliminate unnecessary list traversals when scheduling timeouts.
  AG_ScheduleTimeout() is now preferred over AG_AddTimeout() and
  ReplaceTimeout().
- CORE: Added AG_LookupDSO() to AG_DSO(3) interface.
- CORE: Added public AG_ObjectReadHeader() routine, for checking object file
  metadata prior to loading.
- CORE: Added AG_Time(3) interface.
- CORE: Implemented support for database-bound objects with AG_Db(3) and
  AG_DbObject(3).
- CORE: Added AG_List(3) interface to complement AG_Variable(3).
- CORE: Agar datafiles now support debugging information and optional runtime
  type-safety. Added agar-disasm utility for dumping contents of Agar
  object datafiles with debug information (see AG_SetSourceDebug()).
- CORE: Implemented "AutoCore" (dynamically-grown memory) data source into
  AG_DataSource(3).
- CORE: Much improved error handling in AG_DataSource(3). Added
  AG_DataSourceSetErrorFn(), and error-return variants for all standard
  AG_ReadFoo() routines.
