Overview

Starting from Sunday, April 5, 2009, this is the current stable OSDL's version.

For the moment, OSDL 0.5 is thoroughly tested only on GNU/Linux hosts [More info].

This OSDL version uses the Ceylan 0.7 version.

OSDL 0.5 Main Changes

The OSDL license has been extended and updated, went from pure LGPL to disjunctive bi-license LGPL/GPL. It allows developers using GPL software to use OSDL as well.

Other main changes are:

• PhysicsFS integrated
• first support of SDL_mixer and, to a lesser extent, Agar, added
• use of OpenGL generalised
• enhanced scheduler (still lots of improvements coming)
• support for some operations on the Nintendo DS added (ex: MP3 play-back on the ARM7)
• Windows port of OSDL and LOANI (although some new features might have broken lately the Windows build)
• first works onto Orge (Erlang-based OSDL RPG Engine) added
• integration to the Ceylan 0.7 version

See our ChangeLog for further information.

Note that most OSDL developers and end-users should use LOANI instead, as it manages all appropriate OSDL prerequisites automatically.
