sharpallegro 0.0.4 released!

I’m very pleased to announce a new release of sharpallegro.

Not much has changed, but there are some important improvements I wanted to make available to the public. Here follow a list of major changes (for a complete reference check the CHANGES file in the release package):

  • Updated allegro to 4.4.2
  • Forced x86 platform compilation on all projects to support 64 bit platforms

  • Moved SVN repository away from Google Code

So this time I went for the free-graphics approach, and found a wonderful design at Lost Garden blog released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License

If you need an idea of what sharpallegro is capable of, take a look at the Screenshot Section
