News:

031030: I have released a new project: SocketW is a a cross platform streaming socket C++ library with SSL/TLS (OpenSSL) support. It can, for example, be used to implement portable and secure network support in SDL and SGE applications.

030812: Made a small change to the makefiles in SGE r030809. No other files touched.

030809: SGE r030809 is ready for download. Changelog:

-Better Makefiles (autodetects SDL, Freetype & SDL_Image).
-Better library numbering (thanks Sam!).
-Fixed a problem with newer version of g++ and c-linkage.
-Better C support (thanks Ippei!). 
 SGE is now configured to support C and C++ with the same 
 library file (set C_COMP=n in Makefile.conf to disable).
-Resynced the TTF code with SDL_ttf 2.0.6 (.fon and stream support).
-Added filled and gourand shaded polygons.
-Removed some harmless warning with MS Visual C++.
-Added multicolored lines.
-Cleaned up the text input functions (the return value has changed a bit).
-Fixed some bitmap rendering bugs in sge_Text.
-Some minor updates and bugfixes.

020904: Good news everyone!^[?] A new SGE release is available on the download page (r020904). Complete changelog:

-Corrected some errors in the documentation.
-Fixed problems with Visual C++.
-Fixed line clipping.
-Resynced the TTF code with SDL_ttf 2.0.5, some functions added.
-Fixed alpha levels with the TTF renderer (thanks Marco!).
-Fixed small error in rotate clipping logic.

020104: New year, new release. SGE r020104 adds antialiased circles and ellipses, a flood fill function and bugfixes.

010826: The first public release of SGE was made two years ago today. I hope that SGE has been and will continue to be useful to a lot of SDL programmers. This site has been visited nearly 10 000 times and I know that many projects have used SGE, so: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SGE!!

010629: SGE r010629 is now available. Changes: many optimizations, direct alpha blending for most primitives, AA lines and SGE now uses FreeType 2.

010606: SGE r010606 is out. This time with a new (faster) rotation/scaling engine with interpolated rendering support.

010224: SGE r010224 is out. Updated TTF support, some new text classes, bezier curves and bugfixes.

010101: SGE r010101 is on the download page. Mostly bugfixes; fixed errors on RH7 and MDK7.2.

001228: Seung Chan Lim (limsc[at]maya.com or slim[at]djslim.com) ported SGE r000930 to VisC/C++, check the download page. A new version of SGE will also be released soon.

000930: SGE r000930. This is a hack to get SGE working with SDL 1.1.5. This version is not well tested, use SGE r000714 if you don't have SDL 1.1.5 and don't feel lucky.

000806: The ETEK server appears to be working again today after one week of downtime.

000714: Finally a new version of SGE. Some new functions for rotating and scaling surfaces, a new delay function, texture mapped triangles, new and documented sprite classes and documentation for the collision detection routines are some of the new features in this version.

000418: SGE is now more library like. Alpha channel support (looks very nice on TT fonts). Support for Karl Bartel's SFont format. Improved makefiles. Bugfixes. Some large changes has been done internally in SGE, so please report BUGS!

000312: Maintenance release: Fixed a bug in sge_Line().

000115: New version. Now supports non anti-aliased truetype (also). Better flagsystem for some functions. Truetype font support is now optional. Read the WhatsNew file for more information on some API changes.

000102: New version. SGE now supports win32 crosscompiling. Support for bitmap fonts added. Some printf() like functions added.

991222: Yet a new beta. Fixed a small bug in sge_UpdateRect, more work on the circle routines. SGE can now be linked to both C and C++ code, check the README file for more information.

991219: A new beta. This one fixes some problems with lines and adds some ellipse routines. Update: Oops, the sge_FilledEllipse function was missing - fixed.

991208: Ok, I have released a new BETA version. SGE now has a sprite class *VERY BETA* and a nice surface rotation function. This version is tested with SDL 0.10 and 1.0.

990905: New version, with a completed text edit class.

990827: Released a new version, now with documentation.

990826: First public release of SGE (r990826). Have fun!

990826: This site takes its first shaky steps.
