Hi there,

i am back and i have another release of FPL for you all, which contains very important bugfixes, some improvements and a couple of new features ;-)

7 months of silence

Since the the corona pandemic my life changed from day one fundamentally, resulting in having no more free time at all - not a single minute!
Working from home, doing homeschooling with my kids and organizing our home was just too much, but i now somehow got situated and feel more motivated to get back to private coding, finally finishing up that beast of a project ;)

Back to the topic, the new version -> 0.9.5-beta

The new version is now released and can be fetched from the github page: https://github.com/f1nalspace/final_game_tech

Btw. all todos and planned things are now ported over to the github repo and was removed from the header file.

This release finally contains the fix for the key-repeating issue on X11 and now supports bad-latency audio devices, such as broadcom (raspberry pi). The support for raspberry pi is still not complete, but works for the most part due to the POSIX sub-platform layer. Also there is now support for RDTSC() for ARM platforms as well.

Below are the full changelog for more details:

The next versions and future plans

For now i am focusing of working on the [to implement] issues: https://github.com/f1nalspace/final_game_tech/labels/to%20implement
Also i am planning to finish up the presentation demo to finally make a introduction video for FPL, which i then will upload to youtube.
