  • blit and put now use the clear color of their class for the background.

  • clear will now warn and skip if color isn’t known.

  • fps now takes an optional color

  • transform/put now explicitly rotate on their bottom-left corner. Shifting x is no longer necessary.

  • Improved default window naming to add spaces to the classname.

  • Moved Screen#flip to Renderer#present.

  • Removed Surface.new. You only create surfaces via Font.render_text and sprite.

  • Removed bpp argument to AbstractSimulation#initialize.

  • Removed/changed a lot of constants, mostly around KeyEvent handling.

  • Renamed AbstractSimulation#rgb to rgba. I think this should probably just go?

  • Renamed PixelFormat.get_rgb to get_rgba.

  • Renderer#fast_rect now just calls Renderer#draw_rect w/ true for filled.

  • SDL2 properly supports RGBA. Switched to it entirely.

  • Screen#open now stores off a renderer, window, and texture in the Surface.

  • Screen.open no longer creates or stores a surface. Saves off its own PixelFormat.

  • Search Ubuntu font directories in find_font. (phiggins)

  • Transforms now default to anti-aliased rotations.

  • Updated graphics_setup.sh to remove SDL1 and install SDL2 (on OSX).

  • V#magnitude is now cached.

  • graphics_setup.sh will install hoe if necessary.

• 15 bug fixes:

  • Cleaned some off-by-one drawing bugs. I think it is more pixel perfect now?

  • Cleaned up Numeric#degrees.

  • Finished getting to 100% rdoc coverage.

  • Fixed a memory leak in PixelFormat. Might remove it entirely.

  • Fixed a memory leak in collision maps.

  • Fixed an off-by-one in blitting.

  • Fixed bugs in hline and vline not using correct defaults. (joshcheek)

  • Fixed examples/canvas.rb to draw in black again.

  • Fixed fps drawing bug in rainbow_fluid.rb

  • Fixed graphics_setup.sh and Rakefile for linux.
