Pygame 1.8.0 release!

After a long delay of no releases, Pygame 1.8.0 has now been released!

Many were starting to fear that Pygame was no longer being actively worked on.  Rumors were aplenty.  A new version has quashed many of those rumors, providing some new features to Pygame.

Some of the added features of Pygame 1.8.0 include [pygame.org]:

  • pygame.mask for collision masks
  • pygame.scrap for clipboard support
  • new and improved sprite groups
  • blending support for filling and blitting surfaces
  • saving surfaces as jpeg and png
  • buffer access for Surface and Sound objects
  • numpy support for pygame.surfarray and pygame.pixelarray
  • New Windows and Mac installers.
