Changelog

• 1.2.1

  • Adds the FreeFloatLayout
  • Adds the Title argument to misc.init()
• 1.1.0
  • adds the sleeptime argument to eventlistener.listen_until_return() and eventlistener.wait_for_keypresses()
  • Mousproxys can now take handler functions of arity 4. The last argument will then be the rect of the MouseProxy. Arity 3 is still allowed
  • fixes a bug, that made a MouseProxy not match the drawArea of a child surface
  • Adds an event handler for resize events
  • Adds an event handler for Quit events
• 1.0.9
  • added the keep_aspect_ratio parameter to Surface
  • added normalize parameter to mat_to_surface()
  • added dialog module
  • fixed a bug that would cause a crash, if misc.empty_surface() was used with size but without initializing the windows
  • fixes a bug that would miss-align grid layout items, if not all rows had the same number of elements
• 1.0.8
  • added misc.rgba for conversion of color codes to pygame.Color with alpha channel, useful for text-colors

  • fixed a bug in EventListener.wait_for_n_key_presses()
  • fixed a code sample in the tutorial

• 1.0.5
  • Fixed surface_composition.Border.call()
  • added EventListener.wait_for_unicode_char() and misc.process_char() for textinput
