Contributors and Thanks

When a project goes on-line, it is almost impossible so say thanks to everyone involved. Everyone who has sent help, fixes, bugs, and suggestions has contributed to the success of Kyra. I'm always afraid of missing someone, so please ping me if you have been left out of the contributors -- it was almost certainly oversight!

Great thanks to everyone on the SDL and SDL_Image crew that made the package what it is. The scope of Kyra would be much less interesting without it.

Kyra 2.0

  • Dave Leimbach has been involved for so long and contibruted so much that I'm no longer going to thank him. ;-)
  • SkyFlash sent in bugs (including a nasty GUI system crash), some great suggestions, a new widget, and useful feedback about the new Kyra 2 system.
  • Tim Meyer provided some a nice widget implementation and tested the widget system.
  • Alexander Enchevich sent some compiler logs that helped fixed some irritating compilation issues, that should help lots of folks.
  • Andreas Wuest pointed out that the API naming conventions needed to be both documented and fixed. (Which, in general, they should be on both counts now.)
  • Robert Lemmen has proposed a plan to make Kyra better for dynamic linking and distributions. The work is currently still TODO, but nevertheless well thought out feedback and a good plan for the future.

Kyra 1.6

  • Thanks Eugen Treise for a bunch of help with the OpenGL color transformation bug, as well as general bug feedback in general.
  • David Leimbach but together the autotools code.
  • Alvaro Lopez Ortega sent in a bunch of patches to autotools and general improvements.

Kyra 1.5.1

  • A very exciting release for collaboration!
  • Waba, Paul, and Miguel with the Arianne group really pushed the widgets, as well as providing feedback and ideas on Direct Encoding. Thanks very much for all that input...and check out Kyra in Arianne! They also have GUI widgets in progress.
