demo06 takes 6 seconds !

Very strange, I don't have such results even on my LG Optimus One with 600Mhz and didn't get any complains from other users. Try to run compiled demos without debugger and so on(do you use Delphi?), and check if there no activity from some antivirus or whatever else can eat system resources on Windows

- fixed file_GetName, now it will return file name even if it without extension
- added new parameter SizeXYBind to parameters of particle

- now rtarget_Add will check GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE before creating frame buffer
- added USE_TRIANGULATION to zgl_config.cfg

- added GAPI_CAN_AUTOGEN_MIPMAP for zgl_Get

I'm going to release stable version 0.2 this weekend But seems documentation(and also tools) will be available separately.

ZenGL 0.2 stable has been released So, now I will work on ZenParticles and documentation next week. Current two goals for roadmap of ZenGL 0.3.x are:
- OpenGL ES render
- multi-threaded resource loading

All links as always are here. And one more - Matthieu GIROUX has written some unit which implements compatibility with Andorra2D and DelphiX classes TSprite and TSpriteEngine... In few days I will check it and maybe release it like extra-unit for ZenGL

Projects page has been started There is only "Mystic Diary" trilogy, but soon I will add one more commercial game in another genre(action/2d shooter). Also I'm going to release ZenGL 0.2.1 with some changes and fixes(snd_LoadFromMemory, col2d_RectVsCircle and col2d_RectInCircle) and slight optimizations to Direct3D renderer.

- fixed snd_LoadFromMemory
- now closing the application will reset all states and so on
- LOG_FILE can be gotten only before execution zgl_Init
