v0.7.3 - Proper itch.io/universal Linux packages (actually)
This release is mostly about Linux builds and packaging, and was supposed to be labeled v0.7.2.2, but since code changes were necessary anyway, we're bumping the version to v0.7.3, and throwing in a few minor bug fixes as well. The planned gameplay and graphics focused release will be called v0.7.4 instead.
- Statically linked Linux binaries:
- Just run the binary directly - no .desktop or .sh wrappers
- No lib folder or LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack
- No SDL2 dependencies in the RPM and DEB packages
- No random issues with odd SDL2 library versions
- The -nofullscreen switch now actually forces windowed mode
- No more segfault if audio initialization fails
- Sound theme selector actually works (full version only)
For those who dare venture into the source tree, the build and packaging scripts have been cleaned up and tweaked a little, and the old (disabled) highscore and player profile code has been removed, in preparation for proper campaigns with checkpoints/saves.
