v3.2.0 - The Bear Awakens!

Official release of ppb 3.2.0. Yes, we skipped 2 entirely! We didn't release at all in 2022, and our major versions update in the summer of the Northern Hemisphere. There are no breaking changes this time, and there won't be breaking changes until at least 4.0.0 in June 2024!

V1.1: Automation and Documentation Update

The primary win this release cycle is a bunch of fixes of automated delivery systems. We fixed some failures in our documentation pipeline, added an extra badge to the README so we can catch documentation build failures much sooner. We also got some documentation updates thanks to some new contributors!

We improved our test suites (more new contributors!) by adding test failers to prevent time outs and long test times.

We did a bunch of fixes to our CI pipeline, fixing configuration failures and fixing our upload scripts!

Finally, we added a diagnostic tool so you can check which SDL libraries are available on your machine, which should help us hunt down the source of bugs more effectively.

v1.0

It's time:

ppb is officially 1.0.

What this means:

The core utilities all exist, games can be made (and published!) using ppb. Sprites, rendering, sound, text, and scene management are all built in and good to go.

We've shipped a number of helpful utilities as well in the features library over the last few years as well.

As a note: We still do not have all the tutorials we would want, but those can be included with future patch and minor version releases.
