CrissCross v0.6.0 released!
Steven Noonan
update provides feature additions and removals, bug fixes, and
documentation updates.
We have temporarily removed threading capability, since the methods
for threading we used were rather clunky in appearance and are
basically obsoleted by the introduction of OpenMP into the GNU
Compiler Collection. As a replacement for the CoreThread class, we
intend to make OpenMP implementation one of the primary focuses for
version 0.7.0.
We've also added an XCode project, so Mac OS X programmers can now add
the CrissCross target as a dependency in their own projects.
Additionally, we've added support for the SDL main entry point, which
only requires compiling CrissCross with the preprocessor macro
'SDL_APPLICATION' defined.
The full changelog for version 0.6.0 is as follows:
VERSION 0.6.0
* CrissCross test suite added (tests a majority of the features).
