0.8 "Paralyze"

Full release notes

See https://blog.easyrpg.org/2023/04/easyrpg-player-0-8-paralyze/

For Developers/Maintainers

Our version number is now without trailing zeros. Instead of 0.8.0 it is now 0.8. We will change this policy again later in 1.0 ;).

liblcf now generates a proper CMake config file. This has been difficult to get right on all platforms, if this fails for you please tell us.

CMake presets are now supported.

There are many warnings about anonymous structs generated when -pedantic is used. We will resolve them in a later version.

0.7.0 "Sword"

Full release notes

See https://blog.easyrpg.org/2021/10/easyrpg-player-0-7-0-sword

For Developers/Maintainers

The entire liblcf repository was restructured and everything moved into namespaces. E.g. instead of Actor the class is now called lcf::rpg::Actor. This also improves the error reporting because you can see directly where the error occured from. (#342, #361)

The GNU compiler extensions are enabled now if supported. These are required by certain ports such as AmigaOS. (#366)

Building with gcc5 works again. (#374)

Expat 2.2.10 and newer are now supported by the CMake build system (#385)

The supported versions of CMake are now 3.10 and newer (#422)

Using liblcf from CMake does not require pkg-config anymore. (#431)
