This is a software development kit for PowerSDL libraries for MorphOS.
The package contains required header files for GCC and VBCC compilers
and corresponding libraries with fex examples.

Source code to PowerSDL libraries is available in separate archive:
  dev/misc/powersdl_src.lha contains full source code.

User archive is available at util/libs/powersdl.lha.

This is the port of 1.2.11 version of SDL for MorphOS. It is based on
Amiga SDL from Gabriele Greco. OpenGL code written by Lajos Nagy.

All powersdl archives are now available via MorphUp. Get #?.pmi file from

   - About everything is supported


New in version 12.1
   - fixed HW surface flip bug in fullscreen mode

New in version 12.0
   - reverted some optimizations in cgx video driver since it had negative
     impact on some SDL applications, however it is likely that SDL-UAE no
     longer works (no time to check it out)
   - fixed bug in cgx video driver which prevented SW->HW->SW surface switch
     for SDL display in fullscreen mode (resize is always done in fullscreen
     mode atm, this will change to next version again)
   - added more MorphOS 2.0 support
   - extended SDL_VideoInfo structure to match with the latest official SDL,
     to support this main library was bumped to version 12
   - libSDL.a now asks for powersdl.library V12
   - SDK includes powersdl.library with full debug enabled
   - intermediate release

New in version 11.14
   - reverted some optimizations in powersdl.library, they caused too much
     trouble for now
   - fixed analog joystick code in powersdl.library (caused problems in many
     setups)
   - fixed powersdl_image.library/IMG_ReadXPMFromArray()
   - updated SDK to contain recent startup code, glues and headers
   - fixed public SDK to ask for V9 of powersdl_image.library
   - changes to SDL_image, SDL_ttf and SDL_gfx were missing from the source
     code distribution, updated now (sorry)

New in version 11.13:
   - fixed bug where some AltiVec instructions were inlined causing an exception
   - powersdl_gfx.library is updated to version 10.0
   - powersdl_image.library is updated to version 9.1
   - powersdl_ttf.library is updated to version 7.6
   - SDL_gfx fixes by Sigbjørn Skjæret

New in version 11.12:
   - fixed wrong colours in a mouse pointer (Battle for Wesnoth)
   - added new Altivec routine courtesy of Grzegorz Kraszewski, used in the
audio      and video output (MorphOS 2.0 required)
   - aligned more data for Altivec acceleration (MorphOS 2.0)
   - added (again) support for analog game controllers (USB)

New in version 11.10:
   - fixed PowerSDL pointer bug in Pixel
