Subject: [SDL] Website update
Message-ID: <E1HvTAK-0003ut-8X@seras.devolution.com>

There are a couple new features of the SDL website.

First, you can now recover your login and password information at the website login screen.  You can enter either your login or e-mail address and your password will be reset and sent to you via e-mail.

Second, you must enter a valid e-mail address when you create a website account.  This allows the password recovery feature above and prevents people from creating frivolous accounts.  This e-mail address is never visible to the public and is not shared with anybody.

I've gone through and deleted any accounts that did not have an e-mail address, so if you've created one, please re-create your account.

If you have any questions or need help finding your account, feel free to send me e-mail.

See ya!

Subject: Conflict with DivX 5 Quicktime Component on Mac OS X

Mr. Lantinga,

I discovered this conflict when debugging ScummVM. It seems that the  
DivX 5 Quicktime Component, when loaded, causes the cursor to appear  
after having been hidden, which will cause a desync with SDL's  
internal state. It turns out that inside the method call:

event = [ NSApp nextEventMatchingMask: NSAnyEventMask untilDate:  
distantPast inMode: NSDefaultRunLoopMode dequeue: YES ];

in SDL_QuartzEvent.m, OS X loads a number of bundles, including  
Quicktime components. So after a call to this, the mouse reappeared.  
The solution at the moment seems to be to upgrade to DivX 6.6.  
Hopefully you find this helpful.

Peter Lawler has donated a Nintendo DS, and SDL 1.2.12 will include
experimental support for homebrew development on it. :)

Alec Dun contributed a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, and I upgraded
my MacBook to a Core 2 Duo, so now I have a great 64-bit development and
testing system.  With Mac OS X running VMware Fusion I can cover nearly
all of the supported platforms simultaneously!

Thanks to everyone who has donated! :)

See ya,
