[Matzon]

Get it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58488

- dynamic stub for devil & fmod3 (no more hard crashes)
- support for doubles (ALdouble and GLdouble)
- using OpenAL32.dll name
- lots of bug fixes - some more obscure than others!

As always, consider donating if you like LWJGL

Notes:
* change of filename from lwjglaudio.dll to OpenAL32.dll, update your build scripts! *wink Cas*
* still issues with devil on mac/linux (support libraries needs to be installed (libpng, libjpg etc.))

Question.
Why support for doubles now?
Why not back then?

Why still seperate downloads?

I get ya.
Seperating downloads due to people having different platforms.
I'm assuming doubles are usually required for non-gaming purposes?
I thought LWJGL was purely for the gaming audience?

>Seperating downloads due to people having different platforms.

Huh? This stuff is for devs. Right now you need to download the win, mac and linux versions, which means that you download everything except the native bits 3 times. Its a waste of bandwidth and time.

Putting everything together makes more sense, because in most cases you need all natives anyways. Doing so was planned, but apparently it was forgotten.

Oops. I re-interpreted your question as a metaphor aimed at my questions in order to answer them.
Sorry.

Originally, yes - but people use it for other stuff too. And besides we now generate a lot of that instead of hand coding it.

yeh i also think that the 3 seperate downloads should be merged into 1, as a lot of times i've seen ppl download the version for there own platform and are too lazy to get the version for the other platforms, usually resulting in a windows only lwjgl game.

I see LWJGL 1.0beta has been released : where can I find 0.99 release ? (Is it the same ?) Xith3D is compatible only with 0.99 ...

it should be easy as just swithing 0.99 for 1.0beta, as there has not been any major api changes.
