-README for SDL_Perl-2.2
+README for SDL_Perl-2.2.0
-First step is to make SDL perl pass all tests in
-t/.
+What's New in 2.2.0:
-I will add these as a issue.
+SDL_Perl-2.2.0 adds support for a few new modules, fixes a few more
+bugs, and improves the error handling of the object layer. Additional
+support for SDL_sound, SDL_svg, and SDL_vnc has been added. In the
+OO layer, all constructors now die when they fail to construct an object
+with a valid underlying datastructure pointer.
-Simple Run:
-perl Build.PL
-perl Build
-perl Build test
-perl Build install
+Prerequisites:
-There are more test scripts in test/
+SDL Perl recommends installing the following libraries available
+from http://www.libsdl.org/ prior to installing:
-Disclaimer: This might be moved to CPAN when I get access
+ SDL-1.2.8
+ smpeg-0.4.5
+ SDL_image-1.2.4
+ SDL_mixer-1.2.6
+ SDL_sound-1.0.1
+ SDL_net-1.2.5
+ SDL_gfx-2.0.13
+ SDL_ttf-2.0.7
+ SDL_svg-1.1.9
+ SDL_vnc-1.0.0
+
+Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed:
+
+ Module-Build-0.22
+ Test-Simple-0.62
+
+Installation:
+
+ perl Build.PL
+ ./Build
+ ./Build test
+ ./Build install
+
+The build process will use the new Module::Build facility
+to autodetect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If
+the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org.
+
+Documentation:
+
+Each module now includes its own documentation, and
+is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials,
+code, and tips can be found at the website:
+
+ http://sdl.perl.org
+
+Online documentation and tutorials are available through
+perldoc module.
+
+Contributing:
+
+Anyone wishing to contribute modules, sprite engines, documentation,
+and anything else that others might find useful, please join
+the mailing list:
+
+ sdl-devel@perl.org
+
+This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development,
+both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor.
+
+I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and
+helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that
+keeps projects like this going.
+
+Enjoy,
