LÖVE 0.7.0 Game Slave released

Post by bartbes »

Generations have come and gone. Empires have risen and fallen. Mountains have been ground to dust by the unstoppable passage of time. But finally, through great perseverance (and a last minute save by TechnoCat), we have:

LÖVE 0.7.0 - Game Slave
Get it at the bottom of this post! NOW!

0.7.0 brings lots of exciting new features. Framebuffers, for rendering to places other than the screen. Threads, for true multithreaded programming. New callbacks, like love.quit and love.focus. A text-origin change from lower- to upper-left. And about a million different bugs have been squashed! You can see everything we've done in the changelog, as seen below.

We hope you enjoy it! Go out and make beautiful LÖVE!

Changelog:

Code: Select all

  * Fixed a bug in the loader (for require).
  * Fixed ParticleSystem::setSprite not retaining the new image.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I noticed a fun bug: if there is a dir called 'love' in the dir where I run 'love', I get an error:

Code: Select all

$ cd 
$ mkdir love
$ love
Error: [string "boot.lua"]:292: No code to run
Your game might be packaged incorrectly
Make sure main.lua is at the top level of the zip
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
	[string "boot.lua"]:292: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:217>
	[C]: in function 'xpcall'
(Arch Linux 32bit)
lg.newImage("cat.png") -- made possible by lg = love.graphics
-- Don't force fullscreen (it frustrates those who want to try your game real quick) -- Develop for 1280x720 (so people can make HD videos)

For those not aware yet: RichText is a library that makes it easy to have formatted text with images in them. I would like your help to make it even better, especially with the 'experimental' branch.

For those who love security, there's a fork that is kept up-to-date with the main branch, called Security Enhanced LÖVE, or SELÖVE. It needs binaries, I'm planning to put a PPA for Ubuntu up at Launchpad, and Linux binaries on BitBucket, but that still leaves Mac and Windows users out in the cold. (And arguably, Windows users need SELÖVE the most.)
Help us help you: attach a .love.

:O
So now I know where that came from, thanks for reporting, shouldn't be too hard to fix.

The file linked from the home page is still the old one. I cleaned the cache, but no dice.

Downloaded and Installed - "love-0.7.0-win-x86"
Try to run but fails. (pops up an error)

I'm the only one, or at someone too so the same problem ?
