New versions of the SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_net, and SDL_ttf libraries
are now available.
Note that the binaries of SDL_ttf have been built with a new version
of FreeType 2, giving great font quality.
All of the libraries have been updated with the libtool and C calling
convention changes of the recent SDL 1.2.4 release, as well as the following
set of improvements:
SDL_image: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
- Worked around exit() in the jpeg image library
SDL_mixer: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
- Fixed recursive audio lock in the mixing function
- Fixed setting invalid volume when querying mixer and music volumes
- Implemented Ogg Vorbis stream rewinding
- Added native midi support on Linux, using GPL code
–enable-music-native-midi-gpl
- Added seek support for MP3 files
- Sample “finished” callbacks are now always called when a sample is stopped.
- Added an API for seeking in music files (implemented for MOD and Ogg music)
Mix_FadeInMusicPos(), Mix_SetMusicPosition()
- Exposed the mikmod synchro value for music synchronization
Mix_SetSynchroValue(), Mix_GetSynchroValue()
SDL_net: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
- Sockets are created with the SO_REUSEADDR flag by default
- Fixed data alignment problems on IRIX
SDL_ttf: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/
- Fixed a potential malloc of zero bytes in the font code.
Enjoy!

Yay! Finally!

Time for me to write “Dance, Dance, Penguinista”

Docs? What docs? 
Jon Atkins has volunteered to write the SDL_net documentation, but hasn’t
done so for the other libraries listed. There are several tutorials on the
libraries on the SDL tutorials page though:

- Added native midi support on Linux, using GPL code

Why GPLed code? What is needed, exactly?
I have a MIDI file loader/sequencer (formats 0 and 1) that I’m using in
the new audio engine for Kobo Deluxe. It was originally taken from an
LGPLed C++ project, but needed quite some work… I’ve ported to C, added
file format checks and various features, and adapted the sequencer to
buffer based processing among other things.
There’s a “port style” interface between the sequencer and whatever
target it’s playing to, so it’s pretty easy to hook up to a softsynth,
MIDI driver or whatever. (I have input drivers for OSS and ALSA, but
output driver only for the real time synth of my engine - only hacked
what I needed so far.)
Anything of use there?

Ok, I’ll look at it.
Any special requirements? (Like “must play any MIDI file properly”;
“must deal with various non-standard events and meta-events” and the
like.
