Rockin’!

I have tests tomorrow and Wednesday, and a doctor’s appointment Tuesday.
I’ll need about an hour and a half to build and test all of the
subpackages. It’ll then sit in incoming limbo for waiting for ftp people
to edit the override file because the package layout has changed. I’ll
put them somewhere they can be downloaded until the packages enter the
archive properly.On Sun, Oct 06, 2002 at 06:13:33PM -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:

The version number of the sdl.dll file included with the win32 development
and runtime libraries is still listed as 1.2.4, could you please fix this
problem.

Thanks

The version number listed as required in the configure script for
DirectFB is 0.9.14, but directfb.org has the latest version as 0.9.13.
Was this on purpose, due to some code requiring the CVS version of
DirectFB, or is this simply a mistake?

Fixed in CVS, I’ll updated the binaries tomorrow morning (PST)

It requires the CVS version of DirectFB for the palette code and YUV
hardware acceleration. I thought that Denis was going to release 0.9.14
before I released SDL 1.2.5, but I guess he got held up. :slight_smile:

See ya!
