Lots of things coming for the end of the month...

Hello to all WoDers out there!

Well I am finally getting back to work once again in little spurts on the project. By the end of the month I plan on making a major release which will include the following:

-Upgrade everything to use the new SDL 1.2.3 stuff, including the "windows-extras" which has all the libraries, headers, and DLL's you need to build and run WoD so you don't have to waste your time doing that on your own.
-True Type Font support is going to be added. I tried all the ways I could of think of without having to do this because I really do not want another library to worry about, but this is going to be the easiest way to add fonts so we are going to go with it at least for now.
-The File Dialog widget will be hopefully up and going, I have been slow on this because I coouldn't figure out what to do for fonts, but since as I stated before we will be using TTF then the work can go on!
-I am also going to add building preferences for making a Win32 static file just like there is for Linux so people can save time and the agony of DLL's if they don't like them.
-I am also going to be added streaming socket classes to replace the shodddy network sockets I have in place now which are a real pain. This isn't anything really for the end-user but it will making programming life alot easier for anyone who is wanting to us WoD from a programmers view.

Well hopefully everything goes well and all that is promises is realeasd by the end of January '02.

Thanks for reading,
