Pipmak 0.2.7 released
Pipmak 0.2.7 has landed, with an assortment of new features: Display of text on patches in arbitrary TrueType fonts, rotation and arbitrary 3D placement of patches, a new Lua command line panel and table inspector to make testing and debugging easier, less awkward handling of fullscreen resolutions, and more.

I do hope to return to a more frequent release schedule in the future!
Pipmak Wiki added
The Pipmak web site now includes a wiki! This is intended as a community-maintained repository of notes, hints, how-tos, answers to frequently asked questions, tutorials, Lua code snippets, and other articles related to Pipmak. It's still somewhat empty at the moment, but I hope it will grow into a useful resource over time. So, if you've got anything to share, any contributions are welcome!
Pipmak 0.2.6 released
Pipmak 0.2.6 is out! This release includes a variety of bug fixes and minor new features. Most important among them a 'New Project' button in the main menu that creates a skeleton project to build on - a feature that I hope will make Pipmak more accessible to newcomers, even though it does not actually do much. There are also some improvements in the way mouse modes (direct/joystick) are handled.

Recent Development Activity
| 2008-06-11 | Added a missing -lphysfs to a line in the Linux Makefile. I must have accidentally cut this out when rearranging the code earlier. |
| 2008-06-07 | Fixed the documentation Makefile, so that it is now POSIX compliant, and doesn't require bash to run properly. I also added a newline to the end of the file. |
| 2008-05-31 | Made some corrections to a few minor errors in the instructions for what libraries to install for Linux. |
| 2008-05-25 | clarify that the arguments to 'panel' and 'hotspotmap' need to be put in parentheses if they are not string literals |
| 2008-05-24 | Made some major changes to the Linux Makefile, so that the Linux release of Pipmak will contain most of the libraries that Pipmak needs (aside from standard libraries such as the standard C library, OpenGL, zlib, etc.) I also added an extra wrapper script that gives command-line users some minor conveniences when running Pipmak. |
