Fwd: Re: [SDL] SDL 1.2.14 PRE-RELEASE!

FYI.  It will be interesting to see how, if at all, the SDL-level IME stuff
(Windows only, it seems) will interact (or interfere) with Tux Paint's own
input method stuff.

Here is an updated PRE-RELEASE version:
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz
or
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.2.14.zip

Here are the major changes since the last snapshot...

General:
 * Increased accuracy of alpha blending routines.

Unix:
 * Fixed SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL on X11.
 * Updated ALSA support to the latest stable API
 * ALSA is now preferred over OSS audio.  (SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp will
restore the previous behavior.)
 * Added a bunch of Debian patches

Windows:
 * IME messages are now generated for localized input.
 * SDL_RWFromFile() takes a UTF-8 filename when opening a file.

Enjoy!
