notes on raylib 1.4
-------------------
On February 2016, after 4 months of raylib 1.3 release, it comes raylib 1.4. For this new version, lots of parts of the library have been reviewed, lots of bugs have been solved and some interesting features have been added.
On February 2016, after 4 months of raylib 1.3 release, it comes raylib 1.4. For this new version,
lots of parts of the library have been reviewed, lots of bugs have been solved and some interesting features have been added.
First big addition is a set of [Image manipulation functions](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/raylib.h#L673) have been added to crop, resize, colorize, flip, dither and even draw image-to-image or text-to-image. Now a basic image processing can be done before converting the image to texture for usage.

SpriteFonts system has been improved, adding support for AngelCode fonts (.fnt) and TrueType Fonts (using [stb_truetype](https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_truetype.h) helper library). Now raylib can read standard .fnt font data and also generate at loading a SpriteFont from a TTF file.

New [physac](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/physac.h) physics module for basic 2D physics support. Still in development but already functional. Module comes with some usage examples for basic jump and level interaction and also force-based physic movements.

[raymath](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/raymath.h) module has been reviewed; some bugs have been solved and the module has been converted to a header-only file for easier portability, optionally, functions can also be used as inline.
[gestures](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/gestures.c) module has redesigned and simplified, now it can process touch events from any source, including mouse. This way, gestures system can be used on any platform providing an unified way to work with inputs and allowing the user to create multiplatform games with only one source code.

Raspberry Pi input system has been redesigned to better read raw inputs using generic Linux event handlers (keyboard:`stdin`, mouse:`/dev/input/mouse0`, gamepad:`/dev/input/js0`). Gamepad support has also been added (experimental).

Other important improvements are the functional raycast system for 3D picking, including some ray collision-detection functions, and the addition of two simple functions for persistent data storage. Now raylib user can save and load game data in a file (only some platforms supported). A simple [easings](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/easings.h) module has also been added for values animation.

Up to 8 new code examples have been added to show the new raylib features and +10 complete game samples have been provided to learn how to create some classic games like Arkanoid, Asteroids, Missile Commander, Snake or Tetris.

notes on raylib 1.5
-------------------
On June 2016, after 4 months of raylib 1.4 release, arrives raylib 1.5. Probably this new version is the biggest boost of the library ever, lots of parts of the library have been redesigned, lots of bugs have been solved and some **AMAZING** new features have been added.
New platform support: **Oculus Rift CV1**. raylib introduces VR support for one of the most anticipated VR devices in the market.
Supporting Oculus Rift CV1 makes raylib the only (or one of the few) C libraries in the market to support VR out-of-the-box. Additionally, stereo mode rendering has been added to raylib independently of the VR device.
New materials system:
New lighting system:
Complete gamepad support on Raspberry Pi
Redesigned physics module: physac
Up to 8 new code examples have been added to show the new raylib features and the usage of multiple raylib modules as standalone libraries (rlgl, audio).
Lots of code changes (more than 250 commits) and lots of hours of hard work have concluded in this amazing new raylib 1.5.
features
--------
* Written in plain C code (C99)
* Uses C# PascalCase/camelCase notation
* Hardware accelerated with OpenGL (1.1, 3.3 or ES2)
* Hardware accelerated with OpenGL (1.1, 2.1, 3.3 or ES2)
* Unique OpenGL abstraction layer (usable as standalone module): [rlgl](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/rlgl.c)
* Powerful fonts module with multiple SpriteFonts formats support (XNA bitmap fonts, AngelCode fonts, TTF)
raylib uses on its core module the outstanding [GLFW3](http://www.glfw.org/) library. The best option by far I found for
multiplatform (Windows, Linux, Mac) window/context and input management (clean, focused, great license, well documented, modern, ...).
