Greetings,
Developers:
I've submitted issues #340 and #341.
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/340/surfaceconvert-does-not-remove-the
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/341/surfaceset_alpha-sets-the-srcalpha-flag
Actually it seems to impact everything from font rendering w/ a
background color, to rotozoom, to these tracked issues. Therefore, maybe
it'll be a one-tweak-fixes-all.
This problem has major impact on my current project (a gfx-intensive
shooter on Raspian), so I'd like to get a feel, if I may, for when the
next release may appear with the fix(es) in it?
Fellow coders:
In the meantime, I would consider a workaround. But I cannot find one.
If anyone is smarter than me, help would be appreciated. I need to
detect whether a surface has per-pixel alpha in order to apply the
proper transforms. In the past this was detectable by checking the flags
for the presence of SRCALPHA. It's the nature of these issues that this
is no longer reliable.
Thanks in advance.
