Version 2.1.01.0 (HR 2008/03/05)
- Updated configure.in and Makefile.in for building an new configure
script and Makefile with BSD support (autoconf -o configure configure.in).
The goal is to build on supported platforms 'out of the box'. If there
is anything to do, please let me know at
tshe_hermann remove_this at web dot de
- Added scrolling credits in the title screen. Therefore increased
the third paragraph of the version number.
Version 2.1.00.2 (HR 2008/02/11)
- Changed numbering scheme to a dotted style to become better compatibility
with distro's numbering scheme.
- Fixed broken sound. xgal.sndsrv.linux opens /dev/dsp now with O_WRONLY.
This makes simultaneously playing oggs working.
- Added man page (content and build handling). Added <s> and <Q> key.
Version 2.1.00-1 (HR 2008/02/07)
- added ifdefs in score.c for compiling with no sound support
- added file mkinstalldirs. Needed by make install
Version 2.1.00-0 (HR 2008/02/06)
- This release is mainly a bugfix relase. Some of them are years old.
See hints below.
- added the xgalaga_2.0.34-44.diff from debian. Thanks to Joey Hess for
collecting all these stuff over the years.
Main changes are: compiling xgalaga-hyperspace, full screen mode, security
fixes for HOME-Variable and global score file, joystick support,
improvements of sound server, new weapons machine gun and spread shot, ....
- Bugs as reported at sourceforge Request ID 1394882 "make error on fc4 64-bit"
and 1167157 "make error on FC3" are supposed to be fixed. Changed the order
of header files in several .c files. I have no 64 bit system to test this,
but I got the same error on ubuntu 7.10
- Debian bug report #149743: "xgalaga starts when i want to turn sounds off" is
fixed. In fact, it started on any key except <q> or <Q>. Now starts only on
the keys <k> and <m> as stated in the last line on the title screen.
Turning sound off works during the game and at the title screen. For clarity
there is now a 'Q' (=quiet) right from the level, which appears, when sound
is switched off.
- Debian bug report #60266: "Too slow when sounds are not available" is
probably fixed. I could not exactly reproduce the bug. On my box, xgalaga
crashes totally. Maybe it depends on the sound system. I added the evaluation
of the returncode on writing to /dev/dsp. The crash was gone away.
- Debian bug report #399987 "xgalaga -level accepts ""impossible to loose""
levels" is partially fixed. The -level parameter value is cut to 15. Higher
levels are still avalable by playing (good luck).
- Added a couple of additional key codes. The <p> (pause) and <s> (toggle
sound) did not work, because they produce key codes increased with 256.
Editing the high score name also didn't work on the same reason.
- Added bugfix for "[1837041] Fix seg fault" as reported on sourceforge
- Changed order of libs in configure.in. This (and some other improvements)
makes xgalaga compile under Cygwin/X
Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
