digitalmars.D.announce - DSFML reaches version 2.1

It is my pleasure to announce that DSFML hit version 2.1! This 
version has been a long time coming, but this represents a huge 
milestone for DSFML (and for me!)

DSFML(along with its backend DSFMLC) is a binding and a wrapper 
for SFML - the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library. It does 
input(mouse, keyboard, joysticks/gamepads), audio (buffered 
playback, streamed playback, recording), networking(tcp/udp 
sockets, ftp, http), window and OpenGL context creation, and 
simple 2D graphics using OpenGL (sprites, text, shapes, shaders, 
and vertex arrays). Currently works on Linux, Windows, and OS X.

Reasons that this took so long was:
- Many bug fixes
- Finally passed all included unit tests
- Things make more sense
- Created a website
- Added documentation
- Added tutorials
- School's a bitch

Visit the website at http://dsfml.com to view tutorials, 
documentation, forum, and downloads.

Just a heads up, I have never gotten a project to a point like 
this. I have never had to put a website or tutorials together for 
anything, and this is the first "real" release. I'm sure some 
things don't make as much sense as I think they do. Go easy on me 
;)

Plans for the future:
- Make things more idiomatic to D
- Update to most recent version of SFML
- Better everything (tests, documentation, tutorials, website)

Check it out, have fun, and most importantly let me know if you 
have issues!

It's great to see all this work finally come to fruition, 
congrats Jebbs!

(DSFML is totally worth checking out; I've been using it in my 
project for a couple years now)

It's not really a gui library. I mean, you could use it as such I 
guess, but it's more for game development.

Thanks alot. I like to make my own GUI from scratch though since 
touch input is really not that complicated.

Im working on touchscreen like applications for windows tablets

Oh and you forgot to include these in the prebuilt binaries for 
windows.

libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libsndfile-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
openal32.dll

Crap! Iknew I forgot something.  I'll get that fixed tonight. You 
should only be missing the libsndfile and openal dll's though. I 
statically linked to everything else.  Apparently MinGW doesn't 
like to do static links to these libraries?  Maybe I'll rebuild 
it with VC instead.

Digging a bit, it looks like this happens in the CMake stuff. 
Basically, in normal SFML, the CMake file doesn't allow you to 
statically link to the std libs if you're building a .dll. I felt 
like with D we don't care as much about that, so I disabled the 
check. As far as I can tell it should work fine when built with 
VC(it forces /MT), but nothing special happens with MinGW so it 
still links dynamically to everything. I think I can fix it to 
work automatically, but for now I'll instead simply redo the 
packages to include those files. Thanks for catching that.
