Hi All,
As I'm sure you know, I have been working on finishing the SDL2 support
for the game in the last couple of months. There's been a number of
subtle, and not so subtle problems that have needed to be fixed for
this, but it's finally reached a point in stability where I have been
able to merge my development branch with master.
SDL2 support is merged in and enabled by default as of commit
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/commit/3f9d9ca3399a26aee4a72a223d234c81f5103b13
.
This commit also brings with it the rewritten hotkey-handling code,
making hotkeys be the same keys on the keyboard, no matter what the
keyboard layout is (it relies on scancodes instead of whatever character
was read from the keyboard).
The next step for me now is to fix bugs, and make the resize handling in
the code nicer. There's one open bug for laggy resize handling (#23934)
whis is highest on my list of priorities.
The plan is to keep SDL2 and SDL1.2 functional for one release, then
we'll remove SDL1.2 support from the game.
As a part of the bug-fix cycle we'll also try to improve performance and
move to OpenGL acceleration of the rendering code. This will require
rather large changes and I would appreciate your continued support and
help with this.
There has been a few people that have been invaluable in this effort,
and I don't think it would have happened without them. I would like to
thank them especially for the work they have been doing and the help
they've given me.
* Lipkab, for doing all the hard work. He wrote most of the code for
the SDL2 support and I have just been tidying it up and fixing bugs.
* Wedge009, for help with testing and helping me test/reproduce bugs
on platforms where I couldn't.
* Shadowm, for support and guidance when I was having issues.
* Celticminstrel, iceiceice, ancestral, aquileia, for helping with
testing and the build systems and making SDL2 a default target for
non-linux builds.
* Gfgtdf, for help with testing.
Kind regards,
Andreas (aka, Aginor)
