[Pysdl-devel] SDL updated the alpha

[Pete S. <pe...@vi...>]

SDL (the latest CVS release) has just been updated with all alpha
values reversed. (0=full transparent, 255=full opaque)
i'm glad they changed this as SDL was the only package anywhere
i've ever seen to treat the alpha values backwards.
SDL_image > 1.0.9 will be needed to work with the new package
properly (apparantly being released soon also)

also new to SDL is altering the videocards gamma ramps. this
allows you to do great color fades and effects. it seems to work
on most available hardware.

anyways, this probably won't be rolled into pySDL until the
next official SDL release, but i must say, SDL is getting great
improvements and enhancements every couple days.

just thought everyone might want to know what's going on with
the SDL development
