This release is the first alpha version. At this point I'm mainly concerned with bugfixing and tidying up than adding significant new features.
Big changes this time around include the removal of PALib support and a directory restructure. This is the first release of Woopsi that ships as a proper library. Installation instructions are included in the zip file, but it's essentially a matter of just copying the libwoopsi folder to the devkitpro folder.
Additionally, there are a lot of improvements to the graphics API, are a few new example and test projects, and a sizeable number of bugfixes.
Changelog:
- Fixes:
- PALib support removed.
- Pointer to selected day button in calendar resets to NULL when new month selected; prevents day button incorrectly popping up if same button is clicked in new month.
- Calendar::getPreferredSize() returns valid values.
- Label text is greyed out when disabled.
- Huge speed increase in Calendar::resize().
- Calendar's child controls correctly fill entire available space.
