2006-02-25 v0.07 Tels - 10 tests

############################################################################## Older changes:

2003-03-17 v0.01 Tels - 2 tests - first version 2003-03-18 v0.02 Tels - 7 tests
2003-03-21 v0.03 Tels - 6 tests - first release

adapted to SDL_perl 1.20.2 (see http://bloodgate.com/perl/sdl)
added pre_output() and post_output() for more speed
made my own font map (courier.bmp), which made much more parameters to new() neccessary: chars, chars_per_line, char_width, char_height etc. 2003-03-23 v0.04 Tels - 8 tests
removed double my's that caused warnings
font.t refered to the wrong texture file, so it failed
removed the set parameter, it does not make sense when you have more then 128 chars (no idea how you could access the other characters in the example font from NeHe, I think having only one font per texture is much cleaner)
added align_x(), align_y() and align(). Also constants FONT_ALIGN_foo, where foo is LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM or CENTER.
added char_width(), char_height()
fixed: color() takes array ref or 3 values 2003-04-08 v0.05 Tels - 8 tests
post_output() and pre_output() warn when called in wrong order
post_output() restores flags to pre pre_output() way
document that post_output() disables writes to depth buffer
DESTROY method released OpenGL lists by using glDeleteLists() 2003-04-27 v0.06 Tels - 10 tests
fixed the DESTROY method
copy(): GLGenLists($self->{chars}), not just 256
added border_x(), border_y() and support for these in new()

Please send me test-reports, your experiences with this and your ideas - I love to hear about my work!
