Hello, Here are the changes that I have noticed on Windows XP when porting my game from Python 2.4 / pygame 1.7.1 to Python 2.5 / pygame 1.8.1 (actually after moving back to Python 2.5 / pygame 1.7.1 the changes have disappeared, so they are probably linked to pygame 1.8.1).
1. The F10 keypress event now reaches the window, and activates the window menu (maximize, move, close, ...), so the F10 key is not usable anymore. 2. The game crashes after a display feature is activated (I haven't located the exact line that causes the crash, but it's a function that uses draw_line, display.flip, draw_rect, blit ; I can locate the line but I would have to reinstall 1.8.1 ; in the worst case I will check if the next version fixes this problem, since there are already reports about the blit function). Additionally, I have noticed that the pygame.mixer.find_channel() function still can return a reserved channel (I don't have a simple enough program to guarantee this; at least the Sound.play() method seemed to avoid the reserved channels). Hope it helps.
