  - Add `al_set_fallback_font`.

Image addon:

  - Add `al_register_bitmap_identifier`, `al_identify_bitmap` and

    be turned on in release builds without recompiling the program by editing
    the system configuration.

    `al_set_projection_transform` and `al_get_projection_transform`, and replaces
    them with `al_use_projection_transform` and
    `al_get_current_projection_transform` with similar semantics to the regular
    transforms.

  - Improved joystick axis layouts on Mac OS X, and added support for some
    dpards (Max Savenkov).

  - Various small fixes (Trent Gamblin, jmasterx).

  - Remove `al_iphone_get_last_shake_time` and a`l_iphone_get_battery_level`.

  - Hack around iOS not creating mipmaps (jmasterx).

  - If the supported orientation is `ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN`,
    default to supporting all orientations.

    mid-1990s).

TTF addon:

  - Fix some warnings.

  - Make the page size dynamic, allowing for fonts with up to 8192x8192 glyphs
    by default.

Examples:

  - New examples: ex_camera, ex_projection2.



Changes from 5.1.8 to 5.1.9 (January 2015)
===========================================

The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, SiegeLord, Elias Pschernig.

Core:

  - Fix OSX backend on OSX 10.10 (lordnoriyuki).

  - Simplify how sub-bitmaps interact with their parent bitmaps. You can now
    destroy a sub-bitmap at any time (not only before the parent is destroyed).
    Additionally, when the parent is converted using `al_convert_bitmap`, all
    the sub-bitmaps are also automatically converted.

  - Switch to using unicode Win32 (e.g. this fixes using `al_set_window_title`
    with unicode strings).

  - Add some Linux WM hints so make Allegro windows work more smoothly
    (especially with Unity).

Filesystem:

  - Add `al_fprintf` (DanielH and Tobias Scheuer).

  - Add `al_for_each_fs_entry`, a convenience function that helps enumerating
    the contents of a directory more easily using a callback function (Beoran).

  - Fix for `al_get_standard_path` with Unicode (vkensou).

Input:

  - Add X11 touch driver (Ryan Gumbs).

  - Emulate mouse pressure for backends that don't support pressure.

  - Added Windows haptics driver, XInput joystick driver (Beoran).

  - Fix OSX joystick deinitialization.

Graphics:

  - Add block compression pixel formats
    (ALLEGRO_PIXEL_FORMAT_COMPRESSED_RGBA_DXT1/DXT3/DXT5) for compressed video
    bitmaps. This includes an API to fetch compressed block size
    (`al_get_pixel_block_width/height/size`) as well as API to load and unload
    compressed bitmap data without paying a runtime compression cost
    (`al_lock_bitmap_blocked`). Unfortunately, due to patent concerns this last
    feature is disabled for OpenGL (if you thinks those concerns don't apply to
    you, you can enable it by passing `-DWANT_OPENGL_S3TC_LOCKING=1` to cmake).

  - Make real fullscreen modes work on OS X again. May not be perfect still.
    (thanks to SDL).

Shaders:

  - Don't clobber the 0'th texture unit in OpenGL and Direct3D. This simplifies
    working with shaders.

Android port:

  - Bump minimum Android API level from 10 to 12 (aka version 3.1).

  - Add controller support to the Android port. An accelerometer 'joystick'
    is still the first joystick. Supports two analog sticks and 10 buttons (A B
    X Y L1 R1 DPAD_L DPAD_R DPAD_U DPAD_D). Supports hotplugging and
    theoretically multiple joysticks (needs testing).

  - Set correct orientation at startup on Android (thanks to Aikei_c).

Build system:

  - Various CMake fixes.

Other:

  - Add Travis and AppVeyor continuous integration support.

  - Fix a lot of memory leaks.

  - Many documentation improvements.

Audio addon:

  - Disallow attaching a mixer to itself.

  - Fix uni- and bi-directional looping of zero-length samples.

  - Add functionality to load Direct Draw Surface files (.dds). Only
    compressed pixel formats are supported (DXT1, DXT3 and DXT5).

Dialog addon:

  - Fix native file dialog default paths on Windows (Edgar Reynaldo).

  - Fix unintended behaviour in `al_set_menu_item_flags` (Malcolm Harrow).

  - Fix some bugs with native menus in OSX.

Video addon:

  - Fix for now undefined AVCODEC_MAX_AUDIO_FRAME_SIZE (Dennis Busch).

TTF addon:

  - Fix a crashing bug in the TTF addon.

  - Make `al_load_ttf_font_stretch` return NULL if invalid width/height are
    passed.

Font addon:

  - Add multi line text output for the font addon (`al_draw_multiline_text`,
    `al_draw_multiline_textf` and `al_draw_multiline_ustr`).

Primitives addon:

  - Fix some sharp-angle polyline drawing bugs.

Examples:

  - New examples: ex_compressed, ex_font_multiline.

  - ex_dir: demonstrate `al_for_each_fs_entry`.

  - ex_haptic2: demonstrate hotplugging.

Audio codec addon:

  - Fix looping in Ogg Vorbis stream. (Todd Cope)

  - Seeking in wavs would always have returned success.

Image addon:

  - Fix many problems in Android native image loader, including:

    format, working for non-APK assets, not crashing on failure.

  - Added al_horizontal_shear_transform, al_vertical_shear_transform
    (Jeff Bernard).

  - Make al_destroy_bitmap maintain the current display when untargeting
    the bitmap to be destroyed.

  - Delete al_create_custom_bitmap.

  - Delete al_ortho_transform compatibility macro.

  - Make al_get_d3d_texture_size fail instead of crash if passed a non-D3D
    bitmap.

  - Rename al_d3d_set_release/restore_callback to be consistent with existing
    naming, and pass the display as an argument.

  - Check availability of fullscreen button on window frame at run-time (OS X).

The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, Paul Suntsov, Peter Wang.

Core:

  - Fix use of clobbered return value from setlocale() on X11.

  - Register system interface even if no display driver available on Windows.

  - Fix use of double math functions for float arguments (Nick Trout).

Shaders:

  - Revamped shader API.  The shader API is now part of the core library,
    and the shader addon removed.

  - Shaders are now a per-bitmap property, set with al_use_shader.
    A bitmap without a set shader uses a default shader internally,
    that allows Allegro drawing functions to work as in non-programmable
    pipeline mode.

  - Shader variable setters operate on the shader of the target bitmap.

  - Rename ALLEGRO_USE_PROGRAMMABLE_PIPELINE to ALLEGRO_PROGRAMMABLE_PIPELINE.

  - Rename al_link_shader to al_build_shader.

  - Remove al_set_shader.

    be easily (or at all) implemented with the D3D backend.

  - Remove al_get_opengl_program_object, al_set_opengl_program_object,
    al_get_direct3d_effect, al_set_direct3d_effect.

  - Remove Cg shader backend.

  - Add macros for shader variable names (Jon Rafkind).

Displays:

  - Made al_get_display_mode return the closest thing to a pixel format
    possible with the WGL driver (tobing).

  - Move WGL context destruction out of the message pump thread and into
    the user/main thread.

  - Allow command-tab to work in fullscreen window mode on OS X.

  - Remove "user_reload" parameter from al_acknowledge_drawing_resume.

  - Don't crash in al_create_display if there is no display driver.

  - Don't crash at shutdown if there is no display driver (Windows).

  - Don't fail init if both D3D, GL drivers unavailable (Windows).

  - Sync bitmaps before resizing display to prevent changes being lost
    after the resize (D3D).

  - Load the D3D9X module during display creation and unload it when the
    D3D system shuts down.

  - Run fullscreen toggle on main thread (OS X).

  - Destroy the backbuffer bitmap when destroying the display (OS X).

  - Switch to new NSTrackingArea API (OS X).

  - Set ALLEGRO_NO_PRESERVE_TEXTURE on backbuffer (OpenGL).

Graphics:

  - Let al_destroy_bitmap implicitly untarget the bitmap on the calling
    thread.
