SFML 2.6.1 Latest
Latest

A small bugfix update to the massive SFML 2.6.0 release from earlier this year.
Largely addressing issues in the build process, but also fixing a few issues in specific, less tested scenarios, see the full changelog below.

Note again that SFML 2 will only see fixes for critical issues as patch releases (e.g. 2.6.2), but all the other development efforts are focused on SFML 3. For more details and future discussions, see the Roadmap.

SFML 2.6.0

After 5.5 years, we're proud to announce a new and massive SFML release. Over the past few years a lot has changed code-wise, in the team, in the community, and also with the roadmap of SFML. We would like to thank every single one of our contributors, who helped make this release - check the lengthy list at the bottom. Thank You!

It's important to note, that this will be the final SFML 2.x release. We will provide fixes for critical issues as patch releases (e.g. 2.6.1), but all the other development efforts are focused on SFML 3. For more details and future discussions, see the Roadmap.
