X API break
+ new features
% modified features
- removed features, fixed bugs
=========================================================
1.5.1 : 2012 Feb 16
X TCOD_console_wait_for_keypress, TCOD_console_check_for_keypress, TCOD_mouse_get_status
  replaced with TCOD_sys_check_for_event and TCOD_sys_wait_for_event
X source width and height can be 0 in TCODConsole::blit to blit the whole console 
X Some of the parser-related functions now can be chained.
X The RNG API now has less functions that choose the distribution based on the set flags.
X The noise API now has less functions that choose the noise type based on the set flags.
X Console default and cell foreground and background colour getters and setters renamed to more intuitive names:
  * TCOD_console_set_background_color => TCOD_console_set_default_background
  * TCOD_console_set_foreground_color => TCOD_console_set_default_foreground
  * TCOD_console_get_background_color => TCOD_console_get_default_background
  * TCOD_console_get_foreground_color => TCOD_console_get_default_foreground
  * TCOD_console_set_back => TCOD_console_set_char_background
  * TCOD_console_set_fore => TCOD_console_set_char_foreground
  * TCOD_console_get_back => TCOD_console_get_char_background
  * TCOD_console_get_fore => TCOD_console_get_char_foreground
  * setBackgroundColor => setDefaultBackground
  * setForegroundColor => setDefaultForeground
  * getBackgroundColor => getDefaultBackground
  * getForegroundColor => getDefaultForeground
  * setBack => setCharBackground
  * setFore => setCharForeground

  * getFore => getCharForeground
X TCODConsole::printLeft/Right/Center replaced by
	TCODConsole::setBackgroundFlag(TCOD_bkgnd_flag_t)

	added TCOD_BKGND_DEFAULT as default value in rect / putChar / hline / vline / setBack
	the default background flag for a console is BKGND_NONE
	Warning ! That mean the rect/putChar/... functions now default to BKGND_NONE 
	instead of BKGND_SET, except if you call setBackgroundFlag before using them.
X TCODConsole::getHeightLeft/Right/CenterRect replaced by
	TCODConsole::getHeightRect(int x, int y, int w, int h, const char *fmt, ...);
	(the 3 functions were useless, the height does not depend on the alignement... X( )
X TCODConsole::initRoot has an additional renderer parameter :
   static void TCODConsole::initRoot(int w, int h, const char * title, bool fullscreen = false, 
       TCOD_renderer_t renderer=TCOD_RENDERER_SDL);
   Possible values : TCOD_RENDERER_GLSL, TCOD_RENDERER_OPENGL or TCOD_RENDERER_SDL

X TCODRandom::getIntFromByteArray has been deleted    
X the random number generator module now support two algorithms (Mingos)
  Mersenne twister, used in previous versions of libtcod
  Complementary Multiply With Carry, 2 to 3 times faster and has a much better period. This is the default algo.
  You can choose the algorithm in the constructor :
  typedef enum {
    TCOD_RNG_MT,
    TCOD_RNG_CMWC
  } TCOD_random_algo_t;
  TCODRandom() => CMWC, default seed
  TCODRandom(uint32 seed) => CMWC, custom seed

  TCODRandom(uint32 seed, TCOD_random_algo_t aldo) => custom algo and seed
X removed bitfield from TCOD_key_t and TCOD_mouse_t to ease wrappers writing.
  existing working wrappers might be broken, though.
X TCODConsole::printFrame now takes an extra argument: TCOD_bkgnd_flag_t

+ added fast python rendering sample (Jotaf)	
+ added TCODConsole::resetCredits() to restart credits animation before it's finished
+ added TCODConsole::setDirty(int x, int y, int w,int h) to force libtcod to redraw a part of the console
    This might by needed when using the SDL renderer

   TCODNoise::getTurbulence -> TCODNoise::getTurbulencePerlin
X Some special char constants (TCOD_CHAR_xxx) added/removed
X setCustomFont changed :
   setCustomFont(const char *fontFile,int charWidth=8, int charHeight=8, int flags=0)
   flags :
	TCOD_FONT_LAYOUT_ASCII_INROW=1
	TCOD_FONT_TYPE_GREYSCALE=2
	TCOD_FONT_LAYOUT_TCOD=4
+ added pathfinding module
+ added BSP module
+ added heightmap module + heightmap tool
+ added compression toolkit
+ added possibility to pre-allocate TCODList's memory
+ added support for PNG images + antialiased fonts from PNG with alpha channel or greyscale
+ added ASCII mapping functions to map an ascii code to any character in your font :
   static void TCODConsole::mapAsciiCodeToFont(int asciiCode, int fontCharX, int fontCharY);
   static void TCODConsole::mapAsciiCodesToFont(int firstAsciiCode, int nbCodes, int fontCharX, int fontCharY);
   static void TCODConsole::mapStringToFont(const char *s, int fontCharX, int fontCharY);
+ parser : now strings can contain octal/hexadecimal ascii values 
   myStringProperty1 = "embedded hex value : \x80"
   myStringProperty2 = "embedded octal value : \200"
+ parser : now can handle list properties.
    myStruct {
        myProperty = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
    }
  to declare : struct.addListProperty("myProperty",TCOD_TYPE_INT,true);
  to read (default parser) : TCODList<int> prop( parser.getListProperty("myStruct.myProperty",TCOD_TYPE_INT) );
+ added color map generator. Interpolate colors from an array of key colors :
   TCODColor::genMap(TCODColor *map, int nbKey, TCODColor const *keyColor, int const *keyIndex)
+ added random generator backup function. You can save the state of a generator with 
    TCODRandom *TCODRandom::save()
  and restore it with
    void TCODRandom::restore(const TCODRandom *backup)
+ added simplex noise, similar to perlin but faster, especially in 4 dimensions and has better contrast : 
   TCODNoise::getSimplex
   TCODNoise::getFbmSimplex
   TCODNoise::getTurbulenceSimplex
   Simplex should be prefered over Perlin for most usages.
+ added wavelet noise, similar to perlin, much slower but doesn't blur at high scales. Doesn't work in 4D :
   TCODNoise::getWavelet
   TCODNoise::getFbmWavelet
   TCODNoise::getTurbulenceWavelet
  Noise functions relative times :
               2D   3D   4D
     simplex :  1    1    1
     perlin :   4    5   17
     wavelet : 32   14    X
+ you can capture a console to an existing image without creating a new image with TCODImage::refreshConsole
+ non rectangular offscreen consoles :
    you can define a key color on offscreen consoles. Cells for which background color = key color are not blitted
+ added libtcod credits function. You can either call :
    TCODConsole::credits() to print the credits page at the start of your game (just after initRoot)
    or
    bool TCODConsole::renderCredits(int x, int y, bool alpha) to print the credits on top of one of your
    existing page (your game menu for example). Call it until it returns true.
% improved TCODConsole::flush performances :
   frames per second for sample "True colors" (terminal.png font) on my reference computer (windowed mode) :
   libtcod 1.3.2 :  130
   libtcod 1.4.0 :  300
% TCODNoise::getTurbulence is twice faster
% improved mouse click detection. Even with a low framerate, mouse clicks will allways be detected and 
   reported in the Xbutton_pressed fields of TCOD_mouse_t.
% you don't need anymore to provide values in TCODLine::step parameters
- fixed memory leak in image module
- fixed DELETE and INSERT keys not detected

=========================================================
1.3.1 : 2008 Jun 05
+ now TCODConsole::putChar/setChar can use ascii code > 255 (ok, it's no more an ascii code, then)
  this allows you to use fonts with more than 255 characters.
+ added default parser listener for basic config files.
+ added fields in TCOD_mouse_t to easily detect button press events :
  lbutton_pressed : left button pressed event  
  rbutton_pressed : right button pressed event  
  mbutton_pressed : middle button pressed event
  and to get the mouse movement in cell coordinates (instead of pixels)
+ added functions to retrieve data from TCODMap
- fixed const correctness in TCODConsole::print*Rect functions
- fixed a bug in fov toolkit if TCODMap width < height
- fixed TCOD_struct_get_type returning TCOD_TYPE_NONE instead of TCOD_TYPE_BOOL for flags.
=========================================================

  C++ : color1 = color2 * 3.5f;
        color1 = color1 + color2;
  C   : color1 = TCOD_color_multiply_scalar ( color2, 3.5f );
        color1 = TCOD_color_add( color1, color2 );
+ added TCODConsole::setKeyboardRepeat(int initialDelay, int interval) and TCODConsole::disableKeyboardRepeat()
+ added TCODSystem::getCurrentResolution(int *w, int *h)
% now TCODFov::computeFov takes a maxRadius parameter. Use 0 for unlimited range (default)
% the mouse cursor is now automatically hidden when using fullscreen
- fixed closing the window resulting in a fake 'Q' keyboard event
- fixed TCODConsole::print* and TCODConsole::rect functions crashing when printing out of the console

+ now windowed mode works even on 16bits desktops
+ improved custom font support. 
  You can now use fonts with characters ordered in rows or columns and with a custom transparent color.

+ new time functions :
  uint32 TCODSystem::getElapsedMilli()
  float TCODSystem::getElapsedSeconds()
+ new background blending modes (see the line sample for a demo) :

  TCOD_BKGND_DARKEN  : newbk = MIN(oldbk,curbk)
  TCOD_BKGND_SCREEN  : newbk = white - (white - oldbk) * (white - curbk) // inverse of multiply : (1-newbk) = (1-oldbk)*(1-curbk)
  TCOD_BKGND_COLOR_DODGE : newbk = curbk / (white - oldbk)
  TCOD_BKGND_COLOR_BURN : newbk = white - (white - oldbk) / curbk

+ The samples can now use custom bitmap fonts / screen resolution. Use following syntax :
  sample_c[pp] [options]
  options :
  -fullscreen : start directly in fullscreen mode
  -font <font_filename> (default "terminal.bmp")
  -font-char-size <char_width> <char_height> (default 8 8)
  -font-layout <nb_char_horiz> <nb_char_vertic> (default 16 16)
  -font-in-row : characters in the bitmap are ordered in rows (default : columns)
  -font-key-color <r> <g> <b> : transparent color, r,g,b between 0 and 255. (default 0 0 0)
  -fullscreen-resolution <width> <height> (default 640 400)
% headers renamed from tcodlib.h* to libtcod.h*
% on Linux, the library is splitted into libtcod.so and libtcod++.so
  allowing C developpers to use it without installing g++
% the font name is no more a parameter of TCODConsole::initRoot.
% TCODConsole::setBitmapFontSize renamed to TCODConsole::setCustomFont
% TCODConsole::printFrame is now a variadic function, like the other text output functions
% some background blending flags have been renamed :
  TCOD_BKGND_NOBK replaced by TCOD_BKGND_NONE
  TCOD_BKGND_BK replaced by TCOD_BKGND_SET
% the fov toolkit now uses two properties per cell : transparent/walkable. 
  This is necessary to fix a fov issue with window cells (transparent, but not walkable).
  void TCODFov::setTransparent(int x,int y, bool isTransparent) has been replaced by :
  void TCODFov::setProperties(int x,int y, bool isTransparent, bool isWalkable)
% improved const correctness, added some default parameter values in the C++ API.
- fixed the window size when using a custom font size
- fixed TCODK_PRINTSCREEN key event not detected
- fixed crash in printing functions if the string length was > 255. Now they can handle strings of any size.
=========================================================
1.1 : 2008 Jan 27
+ added the noise toolkit
+ added the field of view toolkit
+ added customizable bitmap font size
=========================================================
1.0.1 : 2008 Jan 19
+ added C/C++ samples
% TCODConsole::waitForKeyPress now has a bool parameter indicating if we flush the keyboard buffer before waiting.
- fixed a color bug when drawing text using the grey color (196,196,196)
- fixed wrong key codes returned by wait/checkForKeyPress on some keyboard layouts
