Pygame v2.0.0.dev14 Release Notes

• pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev14
  
  -- Players, only love you when they're playing

  🚀 With a very tiny little bit of discussion it was sort of decided that the 28th of October 2020 will be the pygame 2.0 release date, because pygame turns 20.

  🚑 Critical backwards compatibility fixes for pygame 2

  🚑 First up, some 'critical' improvements that have been made to pygame. 'critical' labeled issues are ones are backwards incompatible issues stopping a pygame 2 release.

  Thanks to Dan Lawrence @MyreMylar for Adding a num_buttons parameter to mouse.get_pressed(). This was a backwards compatibility issue, because it used to return 3 elements. Now it returns 3 elements again by default and you can request 5 if you want. Another critical issue fixed by MyreMylar was a problem with key events being reordered on windows.

  But wait... there's more. Another backwards compatibility fix by MyreMylar is the "Backwards compatibility for get_flags() in SDL2" PR, which has stopped some games handling full screen mode properly.

  🛠 Sigurður Sveinn Halldórsson @siggisv fixed a problem with how pygame.draw.aaline didn't look as before.

  • Fix draw.aaline not always solid, and other problems

  Now the anti aliased lines look (and smell) awesome.
