Changelog

0.2.1 (12/08/2012):

• RenderWindow.display() doesn’t release the GIL anymore, as it would cause segmentation faults when integrating with PyQt.
• Fixed crashes when comparing Time objects with None.
• Removed the default font, since it was removed in C++ SFML. If you still encounter crashes at the end of the program on Windows, this should fix it.

0.2 (07/20/2012):

• Keyboard.BACK has been renamed to Keyboard.BACK_SPACE, to fit with the C++ SFML change.
• Added support for file streaming: see SoundStream, SoundBuffer.load_from_stream(), Music.open_from_stream(), Font.load_from_stream(), Image.load_from_stream(), Texture.load_from_stream(), Shader.load_both_types_from_stream() and Shader.load_from_stream().
• RectangleShape.size doesn’t raise exceptions for no reason anymore.
• Removed RenderTexture.create(), the constructor should be used instead.
• RenderTexture.active now raises an exception when setting it causes an error.
• Added copy() and __repr__() methods in Vertex.
• Removed View.get_transform() and View.get_inverse_transform(); SFML’s documentation says they are meant for internal use only.
• View.from_rect() and View.reset() now accept tuples.
• Setting Shape.texture to None now does the right thing at the C++ level (it sets the underlying texture pointer to NULL).
• The API reference should now be complete, and it has been reorganized to avoid huge pages. A FAQ page has been started.

0.1.3 (06/19/2012):

• Replaced Sprite.text_rect with two Sprite.get_texture_rect() and Sprite.set_texture_rect().
• RenderStates‘ constructor now takes a blend mode as its first parameter.
• Added missing methods in ConvexShape (get_point(), get_point_count(), set_point(), set_point_count()). The point_count attribute has been removed.
• Added RenderWindow.height, RenderWindow.width, Texture.bind(), Texture.NORMALIZED, Texture.PIXELS, Color.TRANSPARENT, Image.flip_horizontally(), Image.flip_vertically() and RenderWindow.active.
• Glyph‘s attributes are now modifiable.
• RenderWindow.wait_event() now raises PySFMLException when the underlying C++ method fails. (In the past, the error would be ignored.)
• Image.get_pixels() now returns None when the image is empty.
• Image.get_pixel() and Image.set_pixel() now raise IndexError if the pixel coordinates are out of range.
• Image.save_to_file() now raises PySFMLException when an error occurs.
• The constructors of Keyboard, Mouse and Style now raise NotImplementedError.
• Fixed a bug where SFML would fail to raise an exception. This typically happened when a tuple, a FloatRect or an IntRect was expected, but another type was passed.
• Added the tests in the source release.
• Completed the documentation of many graphics classes.

0.1.2:

• Added copy() methods in Transform, IntRect, FloatRect, Time and Sprite.
• RenderTarget.draw() now also accepts a tuple of vertices. Also fixed error handling when the objects contained in the list/tuple have the wrong type.
• Added == and != operators in IntRect and FloatRect.
• Transform‘s constructor now creates an identity transform when called with no arguments.
• Transform now supports the *= operator. (It already worked in the past, because Python will automatically use the * operator if *= isn’t provided, but it’s slower.)
• SoundBuffer.save_to_file() now raises an exception in case of failure. (In the past, it didn’t report errors in any way.)
• Removed Chunk.sample_count and SoundBuffer.sample_count. Instead, use len(Chunk.samples)``and ``len(SoundBuffer.samples), respectively.
• SoundBuffer.load_from_samples() now uses strings/bytes (for Python 2/3, respectively) instead of list.
• Fixed bugs in Font, Image and Shader classmethods that load from strings/bytes objects.
• Added Joystick.update().
• Transformable isn’t abstract anymore, and can be inherited safely.
• Completed the events and audio documentation, added documentation for some graphics classes.
• Expanded the tutorial for C++ developers.

0.1.1:

• The seconds(), milliseconds() and microseconds() functions are removed. Use the Time constructor with keyword arguments instead, e.g. milliseconds(200) becomes Time(milliseconds=200).
• Made Sprite more straightforward to inherit, __cinit__() won’t raise errors because it automatically gets passed the constructor arguments anymore.
• Fixed a bug in Time where some arithemtic operators would always raise an exception.
• Fixed a bug in RenderStates where internal attributes and properties got mismatched because they had the same name.
• Added a __repr__() method in Time (mostly to have more readable unit test errors, __str__() already existed in the past).
• Documentation: added a “caveats” page, and a new tutorial for people who are coming from a C++ SFML background.
• Added some unit tests.

0.1:

• The module is now called sfml. To keep using the sf prefix, import the module with import sfml as sf.
• Python 3 users don’t need to use bytes instead of strings anymore. When a C++ method expects a byte string and the user passes a Unicode object, it is encoded to a byte string with sfml.default_encoding (UTF-8 by default, you can change it as needed).
• Added the Listener class.
• Added audio streaming (still lacking performance-wise).
• Added Texture.copy_to_image().
• Improved examples.
• Fixed various bugs and memory leaks.
