The main developers this time were: SiegeLord, Elias Pschernig, Sebastian Krzyszkowiak, Julian Smythe.
Build system:
-
Add a configuration summary. Currently this mostly reports the addon features.

Bump minimum CMake version to 3.0.
Core:

Add

mode to prevent seek on close (Karl Robillard). -
Allow configuring bitmap wrapping via
al_set_new_bitmap_wrap
.
Graphics:
-
Reject creating bitmaps with negative width or height (Peter Hull).
-
Add a minimal shader implementation for GLSL. Minimal shader supports fewer features, but is faster (Issue [#1120]). Select it via the
_MINIMAL
suffix to the shader platforms.

Improve emscripten instructions for building demos (Connor Clark).
-
Fix usage of SDL_Init for emscripten (Issue [#1322]) (Connor Clark).

-
Fix multisampling selection on Windows with OpenGL.

al_get_num_audio_output_devices
