Announcing the latest SDL_image library, version 1.1.0
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/index.html

This version has added XPM support, and has it’s version number bumped
to reflect the fact that it requires SDL 1.1.5 or newer.

Enjoy!

The VisualC zip is empty! Oh well, I just adapted the previous one.

Where is PNG support for Win32? I noticed that if LOAD_PNG is defined, then
it wants <PNG.h>. Is a Win32 version of the header all that’s needed? If
so, where might we get one?

doh… VisualC.zip is 0 bytes.

you’ll need more then the PNG headers to get PNG support. you
need the PNG library as well. this in turn requires the ZLIB
library.

anyways, i’m glad to see the past-the-end-of-the-array bug
has been fixed!

Oops, if somebody can create one for Visual C++ 5, including working
PNG and JPEG support, that would be great. I have one, but the PNG
support is broken for some reason.

See ya!

Hi Sam,

Related topic: could you please add FreeBSD into list of “Runs on:” platforms
on the sdl_image, sdl_ttf, sdl_mixer and sdl_net home pages? BTW, it seems that
instead of bumping shared library version you downgraded it, as library from
previous release had a version number 9', while this one -0’ :-P.

Thanks!

Hmm, maybe a side-effect of bumping the major version using libtool on FreeBSD?

See ya,

Maybe, it’s really a very minor problem, so it isn’t worth investigating if you
don’t see any problems at your side (I suspected something like a typo).
