After almost 3 years, a new version of the Allegro.pas game library is available from its download page.

This version has some API modifications, as well as a lot of improvements that makes it faster (and sometimes smaller) executables. Most important changes from version 4.4.4 below:

New functions and procedures that detects system stuff at runtime, and new units for Windows and UNIX specifics.
New BOOLEAN type that allows better integration with library.
Use of ARRAYs and VAR/OUT on parameters, that allows to reduce executable sizes and faster execution, and a side effect is reduction of HINT and WARNING lines while compilation!
Several bug fixes in demo game, al_apply_matrix_f and al_pack_fseek functions and in examples.
A lot of changes on documentation.

Also note that in near future I'll move TRUNK to BRANCHES/4.4, and BRANCHES/5.0 to TRUNK. This doesn't mean that I'll forget version 4.4: I'll update it if I find bugs or somebody sends me interesting patches or additions, but it's time to take version 5.0 seriously.

Enjoy!
